In order from most recent -- not much stuff coming through town lately.

1. Local show headlined by Faghat and db pedersen (probably the 2 local artists I play most frequently on my radio show; I got to "DJ" between sets too! A very trippy evening on a Thursday night with perhaps 25 paying customers.)

This dude is a THROAT SINGER! He performs with just a bass & delay pedal to make loops, and gets a suprisingly full sound -- his new album is pretty damn cool, check out "At Seven Tenths":

2. Yo La Tengo - you know & love 'em, always put on a very good show.

3. "Van Aid" gig featuring Excene Cervenka & The Original Sinners. Her backup band includes her husband & a couple members of local group Knuckeldrager (a "drag race rock" instrumental band that look like Big Daddy Roth characters come to life) -- it was the Knuck's van that broke down when both were on their last national tour. Skip the audio files and watch the video instead:

4. Ladyhawk (from Canada) - sorta like if Uncle Tupelo dropped the country influence in favor of Crazy Horse.

5. Split-CD release party for The Suit & Colony of Watts, more local bands. The Suit is this 3-bass, no-guitar band I keep raving about. They've got a couple* really good songs and a great live sound, but their sporadic recordings (officially just 2 comp tracks + 1/2 a split CD so far) haven't translated what's good about them all that well. * The Suit tracks especially worth a listen are called "Double Crossed on Planet Love" & "Escape Pod" -- unfortunately neither of these is currently up at their myspace page.
