Oh, look. Japanese violinist Kishi Bashi is coming to The Earl on March 14 (strangely, not a Monday). I skipped Bashi's performance at the Doug Fir Lounge during MFNW, where he opened for Moonface, so this will be a chance to make up for what I missed.
On top of the recently announced Alt-J show at the god-forsaken Masquerade (March 6) and the Thao & The Get Down Stay Down / Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside billing at Smith's Olde Bar on March 18, it looks like the annual March Madness event (the vernal equivalent to the autumnal Rocktober) is starting to take shape.
The Winter Doldrums may extend through December and January, but should end by February 9 when Jonathan Richman comes to Atlanta for a two-night stand at The Goat Farm.
I've already got my tickets for Richman, and looking further ahead, have already bought tickets for Seattle's Bumbershoot 2013 on Labor Day weekend.
Also Eels are playing March 5th at the Variety. He puts on an amazing show, much more edgy than his jingly stuff.
ReplyDeleteI like The Eels and have no problem with their dark-edged jangle pop. The Eels on the 5th followed by Alt-J on the 6th could be an interesting pair of events.
DeleteOK. I'm not missing Kishi Bashi this time either.
ReplyDeleteWhich is to say - let's tessellate
