What's Good - By Frank Wood | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hi out there. It's
been a very hectic couple of weeks, so I am just gonna make it
brief. Nov 1st, I went to CONTINENTAL to
see the WANDA JACKSON 5, a rtolicking
rockabilly band fronted by Jodi from the MOTOR
CITY BAR. When you get a chance check them out for a marvelous
change of pace. They were preceeded by The
BASTARDS SONS OF JOHNNY CASH. The PARKSIDE
LOUNGE is a happening place on Monday nights. On this Monday
night, there was a strange four-projector/light show/music performance
piece (?!?!?!) but that wasn't why I was there. I was there
to see TUPSUT (who that night changed
their name to DEAD COMBO). This was
Harry from the MOTOR CITY BAR/MAD JUANA
and his friend Nuddie. This is a nice change from the psychodelica
before. In the front room, during all this, was the HOUSE
OF DIABLO. This was Brian Mitchell on percussion and Shawn
Pelton on keyboard--both with technoelectric help that was really
wild. In all, FRAND WOOD presents and STEMWAY.COM have a great new venue, even if though they changed their mind about rock'n'roll. No problem, we can do jazz and blues. And on Monday and Tuesday, that's what we did! I needed a rock'n' roll fix, so I squeezed in a LOURDS show at DOWNTIME. The fun part of a LOURDS show is watching the convicts! Everybody, I mean everybody, is converted, from the girl rock band before them to the hip-hop/rap R&B band after her. The rapper from the band call it in his words, SH*T, THAT BITCH IS SIN, MAN! That's it for now, folks! Here are Wood's picks for the week: |
