The Appleseed Cast is coming to Chicago to play at the Sub-T on tomorrow night and as luck would have it, my sweetie, MChutney has tickets for us to go to Ravinia and see The Indigo Girls! Well that’s a Sophie’s Choice, isn’t it, just? You all left here in town really should go out to see them anyway, even without my lovely company. They’re out to show you just how good their new album, Sagarmatha really is. You know this band has been around since 1997, and they are solidly good. If you’ve not heard their dulcet, (dare I say shoegazy?) indie sound yet you really should. I quite agree with their label when they say, “I think they are best described as weavers: of sounds beautiful and horrible, always intriguing, and of stories in sometimes inscrutable but always evocative lyrics.” I’ve had Sagarmatha on my iphone mix for the past month or so and really hope I can clear my desk soon to get a review in for you. It’s a beautiful album.
Brighton, MA (yes, that’s the name of the supporting band, not the place where anyone is from as far as I know) who have a lovely Daytrotter session over here, featuring the lovely “Not Our Fault” are supporting them Friday night. They are very much worth a listen as well! And our own local Hotel Ahead provide the warm up set at 9:00 so get there on time!
DOORS @ 9:00 PM | SHOW @ 9:30 PM | 17 & OVER
TICKETS: $12.00

They sound good but you gotta see the Girls. We’ve got the B-52’s on the bill here tonight in Del Mar. I’ll tell them you say hello. Clever pic in yesterdays post. That’s about the only way you can get away with not giving yourself up. Next they’ll want directions to the Batcave. Stay low, andrew.
haha, yes, the pic was only illustrating the song afterall! And do say hi to Fred for me. I met him once back in ‘89 or ‘90 when I worked in a coffeeshop he stumbled into. He asked for bus directions which I happily gave him along with his coffee and he left with a wink and a smile. True story, I swear! xoxo

I still get a shock when I see my Sunday name in print……(and no, my name is not Platform One Entertainment)
Enjoy The Indigo Girls. Ask them to do their great cover version of ‘Clampdown’ by The Clash.
Oh do you love that cover too? I wondered if you would think it sacrilegious! hehehe xx
