Please, folks, post from the account that you're actually subscribed from, else your posts will be delayed for long enough that people will perhaps miss what you're posting about.

Also: people in bands and/or 21st-Century performing arts ensembles are encouraged to post about their own shows. I am not all-seeing nor all-powerful, and I rarely pay attention to Ringside as there are rarely shows there.

Ross

p.s. emailing me directly, while nice, doesn't always work. I get a lot of email, and unless your email about your event arrives during the actual 2-3 hours/week that I put into making these schedules, I'm going to lose it/forget about it by the time I'm actually putting the thing together. Not because I want to; because I'm fucking scatterbrained.

Post to the list; that's [one of the things that | what] it's there for. If you have weird hangups about promoting your own shows to the list, then you need to ask yourself why you somehow feel OK emailing me & letting me do it for you ;-)

Ross seems to have missed tonight's (Friday, 10/22) show at Ringside with
Cold Sides and Pulsoptional. You will have your rock. You will have your
Henry Cowell (this is the first of Pulsoptional's Henry Cowell tour). You
will have a soundtrack to some silent films pieced together by Carrie Shull
from Skip Elsheimer's library. The official start time is 9. Cold Sides is
on first for those wary of longhair music.

Dig Shovel Dig [http://www.digshoveldig.com/], Cantwell, Gomez, Jordan
[http://www.cantwellgomezandjordan.com], Eyes to Space
[http://www.eyestospace.net/]
Nightlight, Chapel Hill

Cantwell, Gomez & Jordan are the kind of music nerds who learned many
of their most cherished musical lessons from musty used records they
picked up cheap at yardsales and thrift stores.

Eyes to Space, on the other hand, are more like band geeks. There is a
subtle difference there, somewhere. I'll bet some of them play D&D,
too.

DigShovelDig are from Asheville & are thus presumably above the fray,
as it were.

S.C.O.T.S. [http://www.scots.com/], Jule Brown
[http://www.unc.edu/~holland3/jbrown.htm], Chrome Plated Apostles
[http://www.demonbeach.com]
Martin Street Music Hall, Raleigh

Chrome-Plated Apostles feature Hunter Landen & Clif Mann of the Bad
Checks (Clif's also in The Ghost of Rock), one ex-Pipe bassist, and
drummer Dave Perry (Fake Swedish, Jett Rink, probably around 5 other
bands). Hunter slurs and shakes and touches his titties & snorks into
the harmonica and eventually falls down drunk, Clif plays more nasty
slide guitar than in TGOR, and Greg & Dave make sure the thing keeps
moving in a more-or-less forward direction.

Jule Brown is the Jennyanykind side-project turned main-project of
Mark Holland; if you got Jennyanykind's excellent last album "Peas And
Collards" then you heard about half of what would've been the most
recent Jule Brown album, "The Town, the Clowns, and the Sound of Jule
Brown." The lines are fluid like that. It's a brilliant organ-drone
slow-burning backwoods weirdness/psych soul gospel thing, I guess.

Southern Culture on the Skids you know all about already.

The Comas [http://www.thecomas.com], Fashion Brigade
[http://www.thefashionbrigade.com/], Hotel Lights
Cat's Cradle, Carrboro

The Comas have a new album called Conductor, & this is the CD-release
party for it. The copy I have came with a DVD with a crazy
album-length movie (well, music video, I guess) that's a bizarre mix
of live-action (featuring Andy Herod & The Man's Kevin Clark, and a
Love Interest of some kind) and crazy hand-drawn wire-frame squiggly
weirdness. And some bigass CGI explosions, including an exploding
elevator.

Fashion Brigade are from Wilmington. Hotel Lights are one of those
post-90s-famous-band bands, but I can't remember which one.

Found Magazine US Tour [http://www.foundmagazine.com]
The Cave, Chapel Hill

[http://www.foundmagazine.com/] Found Magazine publisher & occasional
This American Life contributor Davy Rothbart has been on tour since
May (and off-and-on for much of the past 3 years), driving around the
country reading notes & scribbles that he & his ever-expanding coterie
of fans & collaborators have picked up on the sidewalk or found in
used books or wherever it is he gets the stuff that fills his amazing
zine. He's coming back through the Triangle this week (he's at
Durham's Regulator Books at 7:00 pm Monday the 25th) and this night
(Tue 10/26) he's the Early Show at The Cave.



Tuesday, October 26
Dexter Romweber [http://www.dexterromweber.com], The Unmentionables
Local 506, Chapel Hill

If you never saw Flat Duo Jets & you haven't seen Dexter Romweber
since he went solo, you need to take care of that ASAP. If you *did*
see Flat Duo Jets, you probably still need to see Dex now that he's
solo, as his more-or-less stable soberness & mental normalcy of late
seems only to have honed his musical skillz and the fire in his gut.

Pinback, Mates of State [http://www.matesofstate.com], Aspects of
Physics [http://www.aspectsofphysics.com/]
Cat's Cradle, Carrboro



Wednesday, October 27
Hugh Swaso [http://www.littlemissmessy.net/about/hugh.html], Bishop
Allen [http://www.bishopallen.com/], Drugmoney
[http://www.drugmoney.org/], Hotel Motel [http://www.hot-mot.com]
Local 506, Chapel Hill

Four bands means first band on at 9:30 or so. Hotel Motel feature Anne
Gomez (ex-Blue Green Gods, Cantwell Gomez & Jordan), Bob Wall
(ex-Razzle) and Matt Kalb (ex-V.Sirin, Audubon Park). They make "pop"
music but it's about as skewed and weird and brilliant & unsettling as
any "pop" I've heard lately. The other bands you'll have to explore
via the links above.



Wednesday, October 27
Mowing Lawns [http://www.dyss.net/mlawns.html], Mouthus
[http://mysite.verizon.net/vze3zcd6/CD_Pages/Mouthus.htm], Antennas
Erupt [http://www.antennaserupt.sexyprison.com/main.html]
Nightlight, Chapel Hill

The Nightlight website quotes Thurston Moore, presumably from Forced
Exposure but who knows really, holding forth in his typical weirdly
hyperbolic manner: "Mouthus is Brian Sullivan and Nate Nelson of
Brooklyn and they absolutely destroy. Super great feedback and
overload squall w/ a hep no-wave edge. The label touts them as a
brain-gouged cross between Jandek and Fushitsusha but our ears catch
something more of a Rudolph Grey-jamming-with-Sightings vibe."



Thursday, October 28
The Fiery Furnaces [http://thefieryfurnaces.com/], Hidden Cameras
[http://www.thehiddencameras.com]
Cat's Cradle, Carrboro

Fiery Furnaces are one of that slew of brother-sister duos flooding
the market, if The Press are to be believed. Difference: they're
actually brother and sister. Other Difference: it's not rudimentary
gtr-drums blooz, but rather weird swooping piano-fueled artrock, with
sister Eleanor Friedberger handling the at-times-Nico-esque vocal
duties. Other other Difference: they tour with a [non-sibling] rhythm
section. Haven't seen 'em, but on the strength of what I've heard of
their latest album, highly recommended.

The Hidden Cameras are from Canada.

Local 506, Chapel Hill



Thursday, October 28
Dude Garden, Red Skeleton, Agony Way
Kings, Raleigh



Friday, October 29
Dexter Romweber [http://www.dexterromweber.com]
The Cave, Chapel Hill

This is the early show (7:00 p.m.-ish) & I suppose that means it's
your chance to get up-close and intimate with Dexter as you slowly
strip off the layers of work-related evil that you've been toting
around with you all week long.



Friday, October 29
El Vez [http://members.aol.com/elvezco/main.htm], Art Lord and the
Self Portraits [http://www.ideasforhousecrafts.com]
Cat's Cradle, Carrboro

I saw El Vez perhaps a decade ago at the Berkeley in Raleigh, and it
was tremendous campy fun, complete with fancy costumed dancers, many
many sequins, and some leaping from table to table. No tables at the
Cradle, but I doubt that'll stop El Vez.

Art Lord & the Self Portraits are from Greenville, and all I know is
what I've learned from a few photos and a couple of snippets of music,
which I don't think really put across the whole story.



Friday, October 29
Spader, Bolt [http://www.boltband2001.com/], Schooner
[http://www.schoonermusic.com], The Kick Ass
[http://bifocalmedia.com/ourbands/thekickass.html]

The Man, My Dear Ella [http://www.mydearella.com], Nathan Asher & the
Infantry [http://www.nathanasher.com/]
Local 506, Chapel Hill

The Man are crazy dirty Stooges-influenced booze-rock that knows how
to find a slow filthy groove and ride it down into the dirt. My Dear
Ella should be alterna-rock gods of some kind, but they've mistakenly
continued to live in Chapel Hill. Nathan Asher has gotten a big push
lately by the Independent, but hasn't made it over to Chapel Hill much
at-all, so here's yr chance to see what the fuss is about, if you're
so inclined.
