TLP December 21, 2005
Hey, peeps.
A very tight Lex Pro. Thanks to Dickie Haydon, Ben Allen, and Robert Beatty for help with the Picks.
Thinking about putting together a supplemental, ‘year in review’-type issue for next week with ‘tops of ‘05’ lists and other stuff from a bunch of our contributors. So, lookout for that (and if you want to submit your own list of stuff you loved this past year, drop a line to thelexingtonproject@yahoo.com).
Hope all are well. Happy Holidays.

** Now through January 15 - Paintings by Chris Allan at Limelight Gallery
[Note: Most of this announcement comes from a recent email from Sarah Wylie Ammerman about the show’s opening on Dec. 15.] Chris Allan, Lexington's favorite hot-rod-of-Polish-descent and famed server at both Alfalfa and Jonathan's, is graduating (Editor’s note: I guess, he has graduated now) with a bang up show at Limelight Events & Gallery. Believe it, his paintings and prints are a spectacle of neonified and geometrified self-portraits not to be missed. Limelight is where Zebra Lounge used to be in its glory days on Maxwell near Broadway (430 W. Maxwell). To schedule an appointment to view the show, email limelightevents@alltel.net or call 226-0800.
** Downtown/Non-Mall/Non-Chain Shopping
Just a reminder that you don’t have to fight the traffic at Fayette Mall and Hamburg. There’s lots of great shopping in the downtown/campus area. Do yourself and your loved ones a favor and check out spots like CD Central, Sqecial Media, Paisley Peacock, The Album, Third Street Stuff, Jonk, Black Market, Black Swan, Unique Books, Pop’s, Morgan Adams, the Meadowthorpe Antique Mall (I know I’m leaving out a ton of other great shops – these are the first ones that popped into my head), before heading out to the shopping hurricane zone. A couple other ideas … Give art! P’haps a painting by Bill Santen (http://billsanten.com/), Georgia Henkel (http://georgiahenkel.com/), Clay Wainscott (http://claywainscott.com/SG.htm), or the afrementioned Chris Allan … or a photo by Richie Wireman (http://www.richiewireman.com/photography/main.php) … or some great poster art by Cricket Press (http://www.cricket-press.com). And, there are gift options at spots you wouldn’t necessarily think about – give a gift certificate to Alfalfa (their bitchin’ t-shirts are great gifts for foodie friends who’ve moved out of town) or some other local restaurant, or maybe a couple movie passes to the Kentucky Theatre (http://www.kentuckytheatre.com), or a gift dance-card for classes at Mecca (http://www.meccadance.com). The options are endless … and, I still can’t figure out what to get for my family … oh, well …

PETTICOAT, PETTICOAT w/ASH WEDNESDAY, and THE MUCKRAKERS
@ The Dame - 9pm, ages 21+, $3
Familiar to the all-ages scene but virtually unknown to the 21+ crowd, Petticoat, Petticoat crosses the line and slides into one of the opening slots tomorrow night at the Dame. Got to see the P’coats for the first time at Firebird Studio over Thanksgiving weekend. Very nice indie pop/rock with great female/male vocal interplay. Heard bits and pieces of a lot of different bands in their sound – Rainer Maria, The Mendoza Line, The Magic Numbers. Check ‘em out for yourself at http://myspace.com/petticoatpetticoat.
:: Monday, December 26 ::
LEMONMOONHOME w/NATIONSACK
@ The Dame - 9pm, ages 21+, $3
The first post-holiday show at the Dame features two bands that get their kicks blending traditional pop and rock sounds with experimental arrangements and unconventional songwriting. This show starts at 9 p.m. on Monday, December 26, and costs $3.
First off, Lemonmoonhome is out to change what you might think you remember about pop music. You’re probably thinking “HUH?” But trust me, Mr. Mike Newsome is somehow out there and right here at the same time. After many previous punk-and-stuff-bands in high school and beyond, Newsome wound up skulking around these parts fronting the legendary Emeraldine, a fuzzed out depth charge rock band that left most of us lost in the fog. Mike’s post-Emeraldine efforts evolved into his home recording project Lemonmoonhome. Many long nights, reels of tape, and bowls of smoke later, Lemonmoonhome produced some of the most interesting pop songs I’ve encountered in Lexington. These days, Mike seems to like short songs that fit on a record like a group of orphans around a Christmas table.
Headliners The Nation Sack, a four-piece outing fronted by John Harlan Norris, features a great musician who performed this time last year with his other band, Harlan. The Nation Sack lineup includes Clint Newman (Mendoza Line) on guitars and vocals and local dude/hero/milk warmer Mike Turner on styx and skins. The group finds its sound somewhere between Guided By Voices’ garage and a Beta Band rooftop jam. – Ben Allen

David Bowie Hootenany featuring THE ELEPHANTS, GARLAND BUCKEYE, and more
@ The Dame – 9pm, ages 21+, $5
Haven’t got a lot of info about this one, but how much do you need – it’s some of our favorite locals playing David Bowie songs. It’s been too long since the Elephants played out, so I’m really happy to see them on the bill. They’re also probably the local band with the most obvious stylistic tie to Bowie. Anxious to see which songs they picked from his catalogue. The other treat of the night will be the return of Garland Buckeye. Talk about too long between shows! It’ll be fun to see Adam Trumbo on stage instead of running circles around me on the basketball court.
:: Saturday, December 31 ::
STARDEVILS w/MIKE TEVIS (of Crown Electric) @ High Life Lounge
10pm, ages 21+, $5
LFUCS w/TEAM SIDETRACKED! and more @ The Dame
doors at 8pm, ages 21+, $5
Two options for ringing in the New Year out on the town. At High Life Lounge, you’ve got a double bill of rockabilly with the Stardevils and Mike Tevis, whom some of you will know as the frontman for Crown Electric. At the Dame, you’ve got the Lexington Fayette Urban County Supergroup, commonly known as L.F.U.C.S., rocking classic covers and the dj duo of Team Sidetracked! rocking the decks. If nothing else, New Year’s Eve provides a social acceptable time to get your make out on it public. Sure to be plenty of that at both locations.
