THIS
WEEK AT THE CLUBS
 |
|
Bonnie Bailiff
Singer/songwriter Bailiff makes a couple of performance stops in Eugeneat the Saturday
Market at 1pm as well as at Out of the Fog on Friday. Her songs blend folk and blues,
and are a mix of "finding your own power" and "laughing at your humanness."
Friday, Out of the Fog. |

|
Ron Escheté
Trio
I know, I know, usually a trio means three people, but musicians aren't always the
best at math. For instance, jazz guitarist Escheté plays a seven string guitar
(everyone knows guitars only have six) and bassist Todd Johnson pioneered the six
string bass (that's two extra strings for that instrument). Should be a great show.
Saturday, Bacari. |

Rubberneck
Your favorite Latin funk band is back in town. This time the party's
happening close to campus at Taylor's Bar and Grill. If you're looking for a place
to shake your booty this Friday, this would be it. Optional costume idea: dress as
your favorite band member. Friday, Taylor's. |
Folk
and Funk
Plus, poetry overdosing,
twirling highlight Halloween week.

Hi, and welcome to the all-quotes issue. The words "Psychedelic Boogiegrass
from the Colorado High Country" are perhaps second only to "Oh my God!
Killer bees!" in getting my feet moving away-ward. But you're not me, are you?
You, therefore, might like to check out the Yonder Mountain String Band at
the Wild Duck the 27th. Twirl, and God bless you.
PDX and Latin funkers Rubberneck are in the house at Taylor's the 27th.
I received a press packet with the sentence "Both bands hail from the same musical
hotbed [Southern Florida] that brought forth such acts as Creed, Matchbox 20 and
Limp Bizkit." No, I'm not kidding. It really says that, presumably with a straight
face.
Barbara Kessler, a fine singer-songwriter on the harder edge of folk, asks
in "red yellow blue" on her eponymous CD, "Is it conceivable/that
you could overdose/on shitty poetry?" Does the CAHOOTS gang stand by in my driveway
on a bi-weekly basis? The Barbara Kessler CD is a fun and spirited bunch of songs
that are solid and hummable too, and actually had me wishing for a lyric sheet. Brought
to mind Jonatha Brooke, but much less full of shit. Listen to Kessler rock out on
"Confession" and "Bridge Mix," perhaps violating some rule of
the Boston folk scene. Kessler performs at 7:30 pm Oct. 28th at St. Mary's Episcopal
Church.
Also on the 28th, Vancouver, B.C. roots rockers the Bughouse Five are at Sam
Bond's. Rebecca Gates, formerly the lead-singing half of the Spinanes, is
at Sam Bond's Garage for a solo show the 29th. She's got the lush-and-dreamy thing
down and is such a nice gal that her ex-label, Sub Pop, called up to put in a good
word for her.
Self-proclaimed "R & B Diva" Dawn is back in her Eugene hometown
from the Bay Area for a show at Rock' N Rodeo the 31st. And why not self-anoint?
The former Dawn Ryan has everything she needs to climb to the top of the teeny hopper
heap: hair bleach, plastic pants, and an E.P., The Break of Dawn, almost violent
in its of-the-moment commerciality. Though the record is well produced, its leaden
synths never really get a dance groove going, nor give her voice enough room to prove
what she can do. If you like what you see them young girls doing on MTV, make this
scene.
Amy Rigby is at Sam Bond's the 1st. Her latest and third solo CD is The Sugar
Tree, wherein the "New York based indie roots-pop rocker" has relocated
to Nashville from NYC, and hooked up with a mess o' them N-ville cats for a strong
record. The Sugar Tree rocks with a tasteful country twang, Rigby's real-life diner-counter
philosophizing and a voice weathered like Lucinda Williams, without the baby-doll
thing. Rigby has opened tours for Warren Zevon and Billy Bragg, and done the Lilith
Fair, too.
Although he isn't a Coloradan, you'd be forgiven for mistaking him for one. David
Andrews, who spent 10 years with Calobo, has a new record out, Get Me Out Of
This Place. The lead quote in his press kit, from the august Two Louies, yet, is
"David Andrews is an engaging performer, if not particularly electrifying."
It's probably safest not to listen to this one while driving or operating a punch
press. Andrews plays Taylor's the 2nd.
If you're stuck for where to wear those fraying Hans and Franz outfits, the WOW Hall
shows the 27th, 28th, 29th and 31st are being advertised as Costume Ball, Costume
Party, Halloween Party, and Costume Party, in that order, with the Red Elvises
and the Brainwashers playing Halloween night. Boo, etc.
