If you keep running into me at shows, it's because I've officially started going out
at night (yes, the last of the snow went away yesterday!). Been having a blast
running into other fellow concert-goers, so that's always a delight.
So just a quickie update, but these are some of the shows I'll be attending this week - along with their full tour schedule if they're on a national tour.
CHAPEL CLUB
www.chapelclub.com
If you have $18, go see Kaki King with Washington (just found put the show is cancelled due to illness). But if you're on the poorer side, for $2, it's a bit of a bargain to see Chapel Club at 7th Street Entry, TONIGHT.
Really such abargain steal! This British alternative rock band is currently signed to Interscope Records,
with a debut album called Palace that was just released in January.
I can't believe that this band sold-out venues in London, but only doing tiny gigs here for pennies. Unbelievable.
GHOST TOWNS OF THE WEST
facebook.com/ghosttownsofthewest
This is on my to-do review pile, their debut self-titled EP, out on Chase Bliss Records. The EP features six songs produced by Ed Ackerson... and I don't need to give you the history lesson of how I saw Ackerson's band, Polara, in 1995 at the Whiskey a Go-Go in Los Angeles. So, yeah, they have a special place in my heart.
Ghost Towns of the West was recorded last December at Flowers Studio, and their CD release party is this Saturday, March 26th at the Fine Line Cafe. Also on the bill is Sexy Delicious, Chiefs of the North, and Red Daughters. All for $6! Cheap!
BRASS BED
myspace.com/brassbed
This was a bit of a surprise, because Brass Bed and Poison Control Center are both stopping by Minneapolis at the Honey venue. I've never been there before, but I was told by fellow concert-goers that it used to be called "The Times". I also couldn't find out what the cover charges were, their website is a bit cryptic. I'm assuming it's less than $6, plus their food menu looks cheap too.
What's funny to note is that I've interviewed both bands: W♥M026: Soft Targets, Brass Bed, and France Gall and W♥M079: The Poison Control Center, so I'm looking forward to seeing them.
I am assuming most of Brass Bed's new live material will be off of their new record, Melt White, out now on Park The Van Records.
Upcoming performances:
