Baby…it’s cold outside. Best believe it’s warm at the Baby. We’ve got the good stuff on for you this week, see you at the bar? - Caroline
(nothing from Mr. Jones this week as he’s decided to flee South to Virginia for the winter. I think he’s on his way back though if anyone needs any salted peanuts.)
TUESDAY:
STRAWBERRY GUY (6:30PM) <AA+> Love the name. This guy has a couple of syrupy lil' psych pop numbers. Think long drives, early evening picnics. Smoochin' music. Limited tix remain. - Alex
Pretty cool psychedelic indie pop with a lo-fi beat feeling to it. Textural and nice. - Greg
Sweet dreamy tunes with a bit of an edge. Head clearing. - Caroline
KING MALA (9:30PM) <AA+> time to test out the low-ends on our sound system, the bass is sure to wobble the neighbors’ kitchens. - Alex
Dark-er experimental / alternative pop with a big-time LA feeling to it. - Greg
Billie Eilish-eqsue sexy queer girl pop music. Get into it. - Caroline
WEDNESDAY:
STRAWBERRY GUY (6:30PM) <AA+> Night two, and we're still kissin'. Sold out, mayyyyyybe some tix on the door if you're lucky. - Alex
LEON THOMAS (9:30PM) <18+> Another sellout courtesy of Move Fwd Music. Smooth and sultry. - Alex
Popular producer turned artist who makes really great/wonderful music! Hot night. - Greg
Of Nickelodeon/SZA/Babyface fame, turning out buttery seductive tracks. I like the piano bits on this one. - Caroline
THURSDAY:
JAZMIN BEAN (6:30PM) <AA+> Jazmin Bean feels like a central character in American Horror Story. Her music feels like hardcore meets hyper pop / the worldwide web. Fascinated to see it on-stage. It'll be a cozy one, full venue sellout. - Alex
British Artist with a lot of energy and a big pump-up sound. - Greg
Superfreaky Brit-goth-pop with a sparkly girly twinge. - Caroline
VEGGI (9:30PM) <18+> Going for a Jamiroquai look on the press pic, here comes Veggi. Sample laden, wavy floor fillers. Fast approaching sellout. - Alex
Popular producer/breakbeat enthusiast with a vegetation theme. - Greg
Chilled out bumpy beats. Even has some vegetable lyrics easter egged throughout. - Caroline
FRIDAY:
LYDIA LOVELESS (7PM) <21+> Lydia Loveless new record reminds me a lil of Liz Phair. Never a bad thing. - Alex
New single focused on Sex & Money, seems like an artist on the up. - Greg
Really pretty strings on this one, yearning alt-country. Lighter swaying to ensue. - Caroline
SATURDAY:
MANDY, INDIANA (7PM) <21+> The best band I saw at SXSW, hands down. - Alex
French/English Artist on Fire Talk - super sold out because the music slaps. - Greg
New record is teeming with fkn cool industrial brutalist noisy treats. Make a night of it. - Caroline
TOMBERLIN @ MURMRR (7PM) <18+>
I think I've seen Tomberlin play more than anyone else in the past two years, and I'm richer for it. New York City is blessed to have her, 'i don't know who needs to hear this' is a masterpiece. A special show, one that we'll speak of in glowing terms for years to come. - Alex
Tomberlin - One of the most powerful performers (and people) I've ever known. Sometimes someone takes a stage and commands a room more than you could ever imagine was possible. That person is performing this Saturday evening at Murrmr Theatre with legend Dear Nora. There will be a special band full of pedal steel, violin, flute, clarinet, true piano... it will look and feel like a movie and I will be standing in the back of the room brimming with pride. - Greg
The big one. We love Tomberlin over here in babyworld. “sunstruck” is a favorite of mine, a familiar feeling. Bring a sweater, leave feeling like you’re about to fall in love. - Caroline
SUNDAY:
LA PRIEST (6:30PM) <21+> We do indeed love our LA Priest. A religious experience, Pain Annihilator in support. - Alex
Rescheduled show for these rockers - should be a lovely rocking crowd. - Greg
Bouncy psych-rock. Into it. - Caroline
