show tomorrow night! there’s been a lineup change: grandfabric is no longer playing while our friend david gray (no, not THAT david gray but an awesome singer/songwriter nonetheless) will be opening the show. it’s going to be a great time and everyone is excited.

here’s a link to the flyer/notes for next week’s big show.

well, the nelson ciron farewell show is a good six months late, but it’s finally happening next saturday night, may 29 and we are making sure nelson goes out in style. everything takes place at indre studios in philadelphia, home of Y100’s sonic sessions, PHI’s behind the beats and WXPN’s live at the world cafe. go to the website, it’s an amazing space and tons of great artists have performed there from tori amos to warren zevon.

if that wasn’t enough, we’re lucky enough to have some extra special performances by some of our best friends. the first is cameron (guitarist nick franklin, pat mccay from the silence kit, joe decarolis from bridge made of bats w/ christian nelson of BMOB sitting in on drums) getting back together for this show. the other is badditude, made up of members of several of u.s. rail’s aaron delarosa’s old bands (u.s. rail, new invisibles, spysmasher, clark). if you know me at all you know that i’m not given to hyperbole but this is going to be a one of kind show. come on out and bring everyone you know.

nelson came up for an impromptu apple of discord rehearsal on friday night. two songs in and i thought, man i don’t want to play with another drummer. four songs in and i thought, man rock music is exhausting. ten songs in and i thought, why the hell can’t i hear anything? honestly, we should just have a show every two months and have nelson come up to play them. on a related note, the nelson ciron farewell show is being put together for saturday may 29, more details soon.

tonight (monday) our friend jeff fields is putting on a show at the 1619 house. he’s playing a set of his own music along with tiger saw, viking moses and the weeds. come on down, it should be great!
