Sweaters Unite

At Crestwood Coffee Company:

Tonight we experienced the first in a series of multi-generational unions in the art scene and it was good.

DAVEY WILLIAMS (B-ham, AL) and a local poet whose name shall soon be psychically transmitted played earlier tonight. This was an interesting set. DAVEY WILLIAMS' guitar work reminded me a lot of a Loren Mazzacane Connors piece I saw at Greene-Naftali Gallery where Connors played with the film, "Joan of Arc." Of course there were words here, but the emotional response was similar nonetheless. The poetry was good too. I think there is something on the Jessica Rylan website that says, "Singer-songwriter is the new noise." Jessica, I totally agree.

At Bottletree:

Tonight we experienced the first in a series of indie rock unions and it was good.

OBESE VEGAN (B-ham, AL) Highlight for me was when RD HARDCORE spit water all over some girls who then laughed their asses off. Three cheers for rock and roll and cool girls coming to shows.

PONY BONES (Decatur Hater) Matthew channeled the soul of Captain Beefheart and then kicked the shit out of his equipment.

DAN SARTAIN (B-ham, AL) aka Mr. Nice Guy plays a tight set. A little Rockabilly in a good way. Reminds me of Awesome Color in that he is a rocker's rocker.

Tomorrow I am going to camp out at a music festival up in Tennessee. You can't Google Map these directions, but if you want 'em then ask. Now that's what I call underground!
