Listen. Eventually I'll quit going places on the weekend and putting these playlists off till Monday, but not yet. So you're getting the hook up on a Tuesday this week again. Chill.
Speaking of chill: Thursday night finds Pravada, Mr. Clit & the Pink Cigarettes (who just uploaded a giant treasure trove of recordings to the archive), and Ampersand Blues Band going at it in the State Street Pub. If you go you'll like it and you'll probably feel a little funkier for having done so. Get rolling.
"Thursday night sounds nice, Taylor, but I'm looking at Friday and I'd like options in Lafayette and Indianapolis, thankyouverymuch." Since you asked so politely, I'm happy to say that up in Lafayette, The Spot's got you covered in the form of Chives, Heaven's Gateway Drugs, and Popular Ego. And remember the State Street Pub from the last paragraph? Well, on Friday night they're hosting the mighty Creeping Pink's Mirror Woods record release show, featuring support form Jorma Whittaker. Tight!
Saturday night, the place to be is the Melody Inn. Don't believe me? Then hows about you consult The Transmissions, The Giggitys, Bearbones, and the Pummels, because they're the ones on the bill. A little bit of punk and/or "punk" at an old bar never hurt anyone except for my dad that one time, but that was a freak accident. We don't talk about it.
Closing out the playlist, we've got new, chill melodies from David Barajas and Nick Vote. Don't sleep on them, just relax into them.
As ever, these weekly playlists are brought to you with the support of the lovely folks at Smallbox. Thanks to them!
Help us spread Indiana music, and we'll give you special rewards as our way of saying "thanks!"
