Tonight: Six Shows (Including Two Record Releases)

April 6, 2012

Tonight: Your Choice of Two Early Shows

February 17, 2012

 

Here’s a choice of two shows tonight, both of which begin on the early side.

I first saw Drina Seay (pronounced Sea) at Banjo Jim’s a few years back, mostly singing wonderful harmonies with the likes of Li’l Mo and The Monicats.  Drina has been playing with her own band, The Deep Blue Sea for a while now.  Tonight you’ll find Drina and her band at The Lakeside Lounge, for an early show beginning at 7pm.  You can expect American, country and roots music.

Your other choice is James Maddock‘s monthly show at his home base, The Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2.  James is certainly a favorite around here; his shows are not only excellent musically, they are just plain fun.  Joining James will be his band, Oli Rockberger (piano), John Shannon (guitar), Drew Mortali (bass), Aaron Comess (drums) and Leslie Mendelson (vocals and tambourine).  James has a new song, My Old Neighborhood, which I’m sure you’ll hear tonight.

Drina Seay, Lakeside Lounge, 162 Avenue B near 10th Street (any train to 14th Street or the L Train to 1st Avenue, transfer t0 the M14A or M14D bus to 11th Street and walk to Avenue B), 7pm, No Cover (but a contribution for the band is strongly encouraged)

James MaddockThe Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2,196 Allen Street between Houston and Stanton Streets (F Train to 2nd Avenue, use the 1st Avenue exit), 7:30pm, $15


Music Video: Squeeze – Pulling Muscles From a Shell

February 11, 2012

On Tuesday night, I lucked into seeing a show at The Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2 titled Full Vinyl: The Music of Squeeze.  The cast of thousands (OK, it was only about two dozen) put together a great show and sent me home intent on pulling Squeeze‘s 1980 masterpiece, Argy Bargy, out for a listen.  Here is Pulling Muscles From a Shell, arguably the best song from that collection, done up live by Squeeze back in the day.
