A Man Walks Into A Bar ...
Topic: Art/Photos         Category: For Tuesday
Posted by: cringe on Mar 09, 2010

Thursday I wrapped up most of the Live Shows calendar early enough to catch Margot & The Nuclear So & So's at Circus. I didn't take my camera, but I will say I'm liking the new line-up/material. The previous 2-3 times I've seen Margo the band seemed to be trying too hard. Maybe it was rougher around the edges this time, but it came off much more natural and honest to me.

Friday, after a pre-B-day happy hour for a friend, I hitched a ride up to Cafe Bourbon Street for the Guinea Worms release show. Yep, after all these years, I think this is the Guinea Worms first "real" full length record (i.e. not a homemade CDR or 7"). Ironically the local label CDR did put it out. Doubly ironic, it's a double LP on vinyl. Sorry, once again I had no camera.

Bicentennial Bear

Saturday, after a stop at the Dube with some other show-goers, I got to Ravari Room in time to see Bicentennial Bear's (above) final few songs. Maybe it's because singer/guitarist Billy Peake is now also in Pretty Mighty Mighty and PMM was on the original bill, but I could hear a tiny bit of PMM in Bicentennial Bear. Of course it's probably mostly due to Bicentennial Bear recently adding a viola in the mix. Truth is, the first time Jon Chinn of PMM played me some recordings he was mixing for Billy's previous band, Miranda Sound, I thought it was PMM.

Josh Kayser and the RazOrs took the stage next. They're already well-represented in the Ear Shot Galleries so I took no pictures or videos.

The Evil Queens

The main and last event of the night was the Evil Queens (above) first show since September 2008. While I could let myself hear signs of them having not been playing for the last year and a half, it all rocked just as much as I remember. And truthfully, it looked like the members were having one of their most fun shows. I think they're happy to be back.

3 Of These Things Belong Together

Posted by: cringe on Mar 05, 2010

OK, so there was a little Adam Smith mix-up by the Other Joel. I had some down time between tasks and outings so I thought I'd have a little fun at the Other/DoneWaiting Joel's expense:

Adam Smiths and Joels

If you can fill this out correctly and get it to me ... well, you'll have a sense of accomplishment. Happy weekend!

Max Power Trio

Friday i went to Skully's for the SoHud (South of Hudson) Showcase. I took a few pictures of the openers Max Power Trio (above) and the Led Zeppelin tribute finale (below).

SoHud Zeppelin Tribute

Ease The Medic

Saturday, for the first time in over a year I saw Ease The Medic (above) and the inside of Bernie's. Chris Cope (below) opened the show.

Chris Cope

After Ease the Medic I walked down to Skully's for Mt. Carmel and George Elliot Underground. Sorry, I collected no photographic evidence there.

Sunday I bussed to the North Market for the all ages Columbus Music Co-op/Relay Recording Local Music Compilation CD release show. The yellow of the room was a bit overwhelming at times and the light from the windows gave most of the photos a saturated ethereal quality, but here we go.

Jordan Martin

The young (high school?) Jordan Martin (above) and band opened the show. Time & Temperature (below) followed, which honestly was my biggest reason fo going. I'm glad someone finally got her music to CD and a larger audience.

Time & Temperature

Next Sean & Dan of Bookmobile did a stripped down set. I just missed getting soem pictures of their last tune. Oh well, I've seen, captured and raved about Bookmobile a lot here. Last was Flotation Walls (below) doing an acoustic set. Talk about overwhelming yellow!

Friday I stopped by Skully's just in time to catch Old Worlds. This was just my first time seeing the full band line up and I didn't have my camera with me so no more words or images at the moment.

I then moved to Ruby Tuesday for the Lost Weekend Records Friday show. I caught the very end of Second State Butchers. I spent much of Main Street Gospel's set catching up with people. I'm realizing the Bush League All-Stars may actually have just as much in common with the heavier, dirtier rock of The Evil Queens and the Killionaires (with which Bush League shares many members) as with the Midwest twang rock long associated with Bush League. This is a perty good thing. Nick Tolford and Co. closed the night righteously with their take on a great, fun soul/Motown revue. Sorry, I was without camera Friday.

Saturday, I went to Outland on Liberty for the first time to see St. Vincent. I was tipped off that the show had been canceled just outside the gates. After a few passing conversations and texts it became apparent St. Vincent had canceled due to issues with the PA system. Depending on who I talked to the condition of the PA varied from not working at all to just some high end missing on one side. Snowballs, middle fingers and foul language were flung at Outland by a couple young, disappointed show goers.

Ain't Vincent

Shortly after that I decided it made sense to check out the space while there. The main showroom was noticeably bigger than Little Brother's or the Basement. The stage was along one of the long walls with the bar right across from it. I didn't get to check out any of the other rooms. Oh, I did take some pictures and video, punily named "Ain't Vincent." (above)

Town Monster

Around 10pm I made it to Skully's in time to catch the last couple of songs by Town Monster (above). I spent most of my time on the balcony, but did go to the main floor to see the Seedy Seeds for the first time.

Struck By Lightning

Sunday I was in the mood for some metal, and as luck would have it there was some at the Summit. I was rather clueless about who or what Blue Ox was, but I could hear tiny bits of the Locust and Melt Banana in the mix. That's a good thing to my ear. Struck by Lightning (above) followed up with a more polished, layered and even melodic mixture of death, black and punk hardcore. Both bands hit the spot.
