Promoting rock and/or roll to the masses.

I’m all excited since I opened up this week’s Onion and not only is the show I put together at Double Door tomorrow one of their featured concerts (complete with a photo of Sour Deluxe and a ticket giveaway) but Double Door themselves finally remembered to put my name (well, Tankboy Welcomes…) in their advertising in the local papers. Wa-hoo!

To say I’m a bit excited about tomorrow’s show would be an understatement. I’m a big fan of, and friends with, every band that is playing and two of the four are releasing brand new EPs that just kill me. Rock Star Club finally committed one of my favorite tunes of theirs, “High Life,” to tape and Sour Deluxe finally made that quantum leap from wearing their influences on their collective sleeve to funneling those influences into a sound that’s all their own. Woolworthy is always one of my favorite live groups and the fact that they’ve been introducing more and more new material at each of their recent shows just adds to the excitement. The Bon Mots hold a special place in my heart since they used to play low profile gigs The Note back when I booked it and then made their home at The Pontiac on a pretty regular basis for a while. Then they released their debut album, everybody got to see just how awesome they are and this is the first time I’ve been able to work with them again in over a year!

Hmmm….I was going to say more but my mind just totally went blank. Seriously. That was wacky. Hmmm.
