AAAAWWW YAAAAA!!!! I'm so pumped up today because today kicks off a Week In Rock that's sure to please your favorite show ho! Jem & I are show ho cohorts on most every single show this week, except Friday night Kristin and I are going to David Byrne & Jem is probably going to hit Robbers on High Street (who I love, too! But I couldn't pass up seeing David Byrne again... I love him!)
Tonite: First, Happy Hour at the Noisepop kick off party at Thee Parkside! Mike Lin is puttin me on his +1 and I'm sure I'll see a lot of my favorite show goin music freeky geeks there. yay! Then I'm having dinner w/ my pal, Stig at the yummy Thai House Express before headin over to meet Jem and dance our booties off the kick arse bands booked at GAMH: The Herms, Communiqué, The Joggers & Ted Leo & the Pharmacists!!! I'm stoked on this line up!
Wed: I have BAM.. and so it's my night off... again preparing for more nights-o-rock. :) I might come home & do work, depending upon my workload.. or watch my next movie: Hedwig & the Angry Itch! Can you believe I haven't seen that yet? I am excited. Perfect for my week of rock, too :)
Thurs: Louis XIV & Hot Hot Heat at GAMH! WOOOHOOOOOO!!!! Hot Hot Heat was one of my favorite bands of 2003 and I love, love, love them... Stoked to see them again and hear their new stuff.. and to check out The Mall & Louis XIV, who sound great from the tracks I have of theirs so far!
Friday: David Byrne w/ my pal, Kristin! and The Extra Action Marching Band is opening, which will be cool to see on Fillmore's stage.. We saw them at the Eagle once, and they're so fun! Lots of instruments and crazy people... Big sound! Hott ladies! woohoo! Also, prior to the show, I'm going to try have Kristin & I hit the JPG Magazine opening night/launch party at Reverie Cafe.
Saturday Afternoon: Joanna Newsom + more at Swedish Hall - then in between, we're going to hop over to the Lola Gallery and see Sirron Norris and Merikay MacKenna's Animal Heads will be there again, too! Then off to our Sat Evening show: Damon & Naomi & Vetiver at BoTH
Sunday Afternoon: (I might hit, depending on work and tiredness level) The Thermals & Helio Sequence at BoTH - Sun Evening: The Walkmen!! who I am so excited to finally see live! and Film School, too - woohoo!
Don't forget you can find most all the show info (at least the ones I was interested in :) on my show calendar. Or you can use the venue links to navigate to the individual venues & see all their shows!
If you're a big ol' Noisepop geek, like my fantastic friend Misty xoxoxo!!, you'll make and distribute an Excel sheet of all the shows. Damn, I knew I loved that girl for some reason. :) Ted & Misty were also the providers of the fabulous spreadsheet/timetables for last year's Coachella. *sniff* I'm surrounded by music lovers as hard core as me and it absolutely warms my little music loving heart!!!
So let the fun begin! wooohooooo!!! Hope to see you at a show!!!
