detritus

i don't go to shows anymore; i just go to work and read e-mail. i learn some interesting things that way.

f'rinstance, marlin von bungy wrote 'n' lifted a li'l bit more o' the veil on the me-thinks' freshly-mastered double e.p. marlin and his bandmates will 'n' ray are personable chaps with lotsa musical friends, several of whom participated in the sessions for the double e.p. specifically, mike bandy from helldamncrap played gtr on "bong mcgyver," richard hurley from blood of the sun did the same on "texas gigolo," and the guitar player and frontman from the riverside ramblers both performed on "permanent krokus." the me-thinks had to opt out of their scheduled wreck room stand with max cady and mescalero when the date slipped from sept. 1st to the 8th, but they'll still be on the bill oct. 14th at fredtoberfest with honky, the gideons, and stoogeaphilia.

noted bassplayer, philosopher, bon vivant and raconteur matt hembree aka katboy has a busy month coming up. this saturday, he and his riddim section buddy damien stewart get to do double duty with both goodwin and pablo and the hemphill 7 at, um, gators in euless (an early show -- starts at 7pm). then next week, it's yet another "i wanna be your [black] dog" thursday with stoogeaphilia at the black dog, followed by pablo shows friday at the wreck room (supported by villain vanguard) and saturday at the flying saucer. the following week, it's underground railroad at the speakeasy (see previous post), a kind of shakedown for their whirlwind five-date "u.s. tour," with shows in indiana, kentucky, west virginia, massachusetts, and new jersey. matthew returns to the fort in time to play the black dog again with stoogeaphilia sept. 28th. we'll be mighty glad to see him back. which reminds me, i need to start listening to raw power again.

and it looks as though there _will_ be more avant-garde evenings at sardines. bossman jon castleberry approached jhon kahsen about it, and jhon's leaning toward doing it the second tuesday, every other month. joey carter, chris white, and leonard belota are on board. film, as they say, at 11.
