TLP August 16, 2007

Another abbreviated edition. This one takes you through next Wednesday, August 22. I’ll hope to have a full issue out then.

Go see Brown Recluse Sings & Hot Models TONIGHT at the Icehouse. Go to Magee’s tomorrow morning for the bike commuter breakfast. Peep the inspired weirdness of Fat Worm of Error Sunday night at the Icehouse or go see The Joybombs and Dialectics at UK.

Luv, Ross

:::::::::::::::::::::::: Announcements :::::::::::::::::::::::::::

** Thurs/Aug 16 - Bike Commuter Breakfast
This week's bike commuter breakfast will be at Magee's Bakery (on E. Main/Richmond Rd near Ashland). No discounts this time around, but, as organizer Lauren Sherrow said in a recent email, “I think their baked goods will make it up to you.” Magee’s opens at 6:30am.

** “A-Void Busters” - FREE Thursday night shows @ Busters
Void Skate Shop and Busters (corner Main and Upper - next to the Dame) have teamed up to present a series of FREE shows this summer. Every Thursday throughout the summer, you’ll find free entertainment (and oftentimes free pizza!) at our favorite bar. TONIGHT (Aug. 16), it’s Heartthrob, The Infected, and dj sets by J.C. Saxon. Next week (Aug. 23), it’s Warmer Milks and Three Legged Race.

:::::::::::::::::::::: THE PICKS ::::::::::::::::::::::
::::::::: Thursday, August 16 – Wednesday, August 22 :::::::::::

:: Thursday, August 16 ::
BROWN RECLUSE SINGS w/HOT MODELS, and KELLI SHAY HICKS @ The Icehouse, 412 Cross St (just off W. Maxwell) - 8pm, all ages, $3-$5 suggested donation - FREE ice cream!

BROWN RECLUSE SINGS, from Philadelphia, write great laid-back indie pop songs (think of Camera Obscura with male vocals, or old school Belle & Sebastian. Check 'em out at http://myspace.com/brownreclusesings (my current favorite is "Lazy Bones").

HOT MODELS are the new young lords of the Lexington rock scene. They're Just getting their feet under them, so expect a short, power-packed set. Check http://myspace.com/notmodels for a few tracks ("Taste Back" is the jam that sticks in my head).

KELLI SHAY HICKS is a lovely Nashville folkie with a voice akin to Joanna Newsom but more straight-forward songwriting inclinations. http://www.kellishayhicks.com . [Full Dislcosure: I helped organize this show.]


:: Friday, August 17 ::
BEE MASK w/ROT TON BONE, SAM GOLDBERG, and WALTER CARSON @ The Frowny Bear, 218 Forest Park - 9pm, all ages, donations accepted for the touring bands

Robert Beatty described the bill as “a whole mess of pristine drone and scummy electronics from Cleveland“ (with, of course, our Lex homey Walter Carson) in a recent email to the Charles Mansion listserv (http://www.Charlesmansion.org).


:: Sunday, August 19 ::
FAT WORM OF ERROR w/HORSE SPIRIT PENETRATES and WRETCHED WORST @ The Icehouse, 412 Cross St – 8pm, all ages, $3-$5 suggested donation - FREE ice cream!

FAT WORM OF ERROR = absurdist theatrical performance punk from Western Massachusetts featuring former members of Caroliner and Deerhoof! Very fun and kinda scary. http://yeay.suchfun.net/artists/fwoe.html

HORSE SPIRIT PENETRATES = blow out sounds from a duo of Western Mass dudes. http://myspace.com/horsespiritpenetrates

WRETCHED WORST = Lextown lunatics Scratchin' Puss, Walter Carson, and Caves punishing each other (and us) for having ears.
[Full Dislcosure: I helped organize this show.]

Elekibass = joyous Japanese psych poppers. http://myspace.com/elekibass2. Casper and the Cookies = bouncy Athens indie pop. http://myspace.com/casperthecookies. Big Fresh = our sweet, silly, and theatric fun pop heroes. http://myspace.com/bigfresh.
