Do you feel a hankering to hear the Denios song? You remember, take a peek at Denios, etc. Well, now they have a website that plays it. Something about Denios having a website is funny to me. They have pictures from the 40's (attention old-timey fans) and today. And they boldly claim to broast their own potato planks. I wonder if Auction Town is working on a website. They need to do a live cam of the mini donut guy.
There's a lot going on this weekend. Tonight is the Rose Melberg show at Fools. The song that streams on her website is so good! You should go to the show and buy her record.
Tomorrow is No Kill I at the Distillery with the Four Eyes. I didn't know about this show until yesterday. Hmm...it's a toss-up between this and Ashlee Simplson (ha I wrote that by accident but it works) at the May Fair. We'll see. Sunday I'm going to R. Kelly of course. The Kabinet is playing "Eat the document" a D.A. Pennebaker doc where he plays electric backed by the Band. From other footage I've seen of this era (in that Scorcese doc) I bet this will be....electric.
I can't believe I forgot the Bananas show tonight in Oakland. It has a crazy line-up and Joshua Ploeg will be cooking his excellent vegan grub, that reminds me, he's cooking a dinner in sac this week. You can probably go if you want to (and you should), it's a big benefit dinner at (I think) Troy Mighty's house. His website says to email him if you want to go.
About the Distillery gig...
ReplyDeleteActually, I think the Four Eyes aren't gonna make it due to a Joel's Family-related skedoolie problem. Still, STOVOKOR will be there and they are always great. There's another band too, from the Bay Area that I won't name here. The show is a BENEFIT! Six bucks. NKI was pretty well together in SF on Wednesday, which means they will probably shit the bed tomorrow.
Oh and there's a gig at Luna's tonight featuring yours' truly all alone (scary!) and the HELL OUTS (as in 'get the..') and the SPILLITT QUIKKERS. 6 bucks.
Also playing at the Fox and Goose:
The Terrible Secret
Noah Nelson

Wait, you're playing solo?!

Yeah, I let Jimbo talk me into it. I am totally nervous as hell about the whole thing. (the Carrie line, "They're all gonna laugh at you!" keeps ringing in my head.)
ReplyDeleteEd
just watch the rafters, ed!
ReplyDeleteThe mystery band that Ed won't name is from Seattle. There was an unintentional rumble between some of No Kill I and them Wednesday night. Beer cans hitting heads, mics getting unplugged and a punch to the ear.
ReplyDeleteJay's mom's birthday is this weekend (happy birthday!) so no Four Eyes.
A "rumble" huh? Are we time-warping back to West Side Story now?
ReplyDeleteDave didn't mention that tomorrow's show is a BENEFIT. Benefitting those who desire benecificial amounts of beans.

Strange, there is going to be a wine bar in the Sac airport.

Now you can sip a delicious Russian River Valley Pinot Noir with your black bean burger from Chili's!

I'm fascinated by broasting®, an American tradition since 1954.
ReplyDeleteIt's a proprietary cooking method, for Pete's sake. I believe it's some sort of pressure fryer. The downside is, in order to use the word broasted® (or bro-tisserie®) you need to use the undoubtably nasty broaster® brand seasonings and recipes as well as the fascinating broasting® machine.
If anyone is in touch with Jeffrey Steingarten, tell him to order a broaster® and make his own broasted® chicken. I'd like to read that article.
mmmmm, pinot and beans.
ReplyDeleteI had pinot and chili once which is a combo I wouldn't recommend to just anyone.
Whose headlining the NKI show tomorrow?
-Liv
That wine bar idea is dumb!
ReplyDeleteI believe tomorrow will go: Stovokor, No Kill I, and the Seattle band will headline.
ReplyDeletepearl jam?

ReplyDeleteNot to blow our own horn or anything, but the Alkali Flats have been doing the "Denios" theme for a year or so. That's a catchy number right there.
ReplyDeleteEasy, too!
I'll be there for you Ed...

Ahem,
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of beans.... does anyone know the trick to making "fartless" beans? Whenever I make them from scratch in a crockpot they cause some rumblings in my tummy. I've heard there is a simple trick to it, I just don't know what it is.
Not that I ever fart of course,
