Oy… A lot of good shows coming up in the City of Trees:
Sunday Nov. 16th My Brightest Diamond @ The Neurolux.
Monday Nov. 17th Vic Chesnutt and Elf Power @ The Neurolux.
Also on Monday the 17th, one of my favorites; Old Crow Medicine Show will be @ the Knitting Factory. I’m really digging their new album "Tennessee Pusher".
Wednesday Nov. 19th, two more of my favs; The Hold Steady and The Drive-By Truckers will be @ the Knitting Factory.
Then on Thursday the 20th, some up-and-comers that I’m still on the fence about; Dead Confederate will be @ The Neurolux.
…Talk about a post-election week where some tough decisions need to be made.
Went into the “Lux last Thursday, or started to, and they wanted a $12 cover, so we went elsewhere.
Best band name that has played in the “Lux”: Foreskin 500.
Went in there once and, as part of the band, a guy used an industrial grinder on a shopping card. Added bonus; the sparks looked cool.
All true.
Man, if I had to choose I’d go with Old Crow Medicine Show, hands down.
