High Noon Saloon - $13 adv $15 DOS - 18+
I hope that by now you have acted
on our recommendation and purchased your tickets for this upcoming
show!
All of us at MMR are long-time fans
of The Sea and Cake. . . Here is a cool video
to whet your appetite of The Sea and Cake from their recent sold-out
show at the Troubadour in LA (05.19.2007). [VIDEO]
I think this has potential
"show of the year" written all over it! . .
. Don't you agree? . . .
In anticipation of the upcoming
show I recently picked up The Zincs' new recording - Black
Pompadour. I've been listening to it regularly and really
enjoying it. The Zincs are a Chicago-based band
and is composed of Nathaniel Braddock on guitar and unprepared
piano, Nick Macri on bass and saxophone octet, Jason Toth on drums
and James Elkington "singing, writing the songs and making
most of the other noises." Black Pompadour was recorded and
mixed by John McEntire - of Tortoise and The
Sea and Cake fame - and fans of these bands will recognize
his lively, spare, and intimate sound production. James Elkington
is very comfortable in the lower vocal register and his dark yet
warm tone often reminds me of Nick Cave (which is a good thing,
indeed). I also like how the band will explode into short bursts
of musical madness. . . I plan to arrive in time to catch their
warmup set. I hope to see you there, too!
