for roots rock on Saturday, November 20th The 49'r Lounge gave Midwest Dilemma one Saturday in November that we could bring in any out-of-towner that we wanted. Without much hesitation we decided on Brother Trucker, currently signed to Trailer Records. MD played a show with them in Des Moines at the House of Bricks last year and have been waiting for just the right time to bring them home. "Well, the four lads in
Des Moines' Brother Trucker are definitely rockers (okay, rockers with
gnarly country roots peeking through), but there ain't a Rock Star among
'em. Not that they're boring, by any means - it's just that this organic
combo is too grounded in the cold, hard facts of life on the wrong side
of the tracks to waste any time on juvenile fantasies. For way too many
folks, it's a freakin' jungle out there, and that jungle is exactly where
this band chops and stacks its wood." for more information on these
guys goto: The show will start at 9pm with Matt Whipkey, singer/songwriter and frontman of Anonymous American kicking things off. Brother Trucker will go on second and Midwest Dilemma will round off the night. We look foward to seeing all of your smiling faces.

Moon Coffee House :: Steve Martin's Picasso At The Lapin Agile :: Science Takes on Art as Einstein Confronts PICASSO AT THE LAPIN AGILE by Steve Martin In an unexpected time warp the other night, patrons of the Lapin Agile, a nondescript Paris bistro, were transported back to the year 1904, as upstart young scientist Albert Einstein tangled in a war of words with as-yet unknown Spanish painter Pablo Picasso. Reliable sources say the entire incident between Einstein and PICASSO AT THE LAPIN AGILE was artfully orchestrated by comic actor Steve Martin, who, in his first comedy for the stage, played fast and loose with fact, fame and fortune as the two geniuses traded words with infectious dizziness. A re-creation of the absurd twist of fate will be presented at the Lincoln Community Playhouse studio theatre November 5-21, 2004. Einstein, 25, employed by day in a patent office, was heard to say that at night “the stars come out in my head.” Everyone in the bar viewed this statement with relative skepticism, but knew for sure they had a fruitcake on their hands when he started scribbling mathematical formulas on the table top. Young artist Picasso, 23, arrived moments later and, according to barmaid Germaine, added to the surreal evening by claiming, “There’s nothing in my way any more. If I think it I can draw it.” And he, too, began defacing the table top with a line drawing. From that moment on, the competition heated up between the two geniuses, each claiming that his ideas would change the world. Insults were exchanged at dizzying speed: Picasso called Einstein a fake; Einstein fired back, “Maybe you’re an idiot savant. And hold the savant.” Soon everyone in the bistro was chiming in – arguments raged all night about romance, humor, art, talent, time and space. And in one final surprise, everyone was caught off guard by a young dark-haired singer from the future who was oddly protective of his shoes. By the end of the evening, all had reconciled, posed for a group photo, and joined together in a toast to the Twentieth Century. Friday, November

That One Guy, and his "Magic Pipe", a plumbing fixture made into a musical instrument, is perhaps THE most unique artist touring the country today! Mike lays down a unique blend of drone, funk, drum-n-bass, and other styles. His use of other self-made instruments including the Magic Pipe, electric saw and electric boot, (yes, an electric cowboy boot!) makes his frequent comparisons to other artists such as Primus, and Frank Zappa come as no surprise. That One Guy has recently been signed to Ani Defranco's Righteous Babe records, and has been featured on CBS, NBC, FOX, Univision, and CNN, so he's well on his way to becoming a worldwide phenomenon, but don't take Starcityscene.com's word for it, read what others have had to say:
Lincoln's own Suzy Dreamer & Her Nightmares are well on their own way to becoming a phenomenons in their own right. Playing an unusual blend of psychedelic pop and heavier rock, with lyrics taken directly from singer, Kristen Bailey's dream journals, the band churns out a style of indie rock all their own. Here's what Lincoln Journal Star entertainment reporter L. Kent Wolgamott recently had to say about the band: "With lyrics lifted from Kristen Bailey's dreams, the songs on "Rare Rocks & Gems" are distinctly personal and strange. There's a song about meeting up with "JFK, Jr." and his sister Caroline, searching for "Brendan Gonzales," being in a "Rolling Stones Video" when the Stones were young and cheery little tunes about "Dead Synchronized Swimmers" and "Melting Monster High School." Musically, Suzy Dreamer and Her Nightmares works in basic guitar-rooted pop, but there's something a little spooky and baroque about their approach that fits the lyrics perfectly." http://www.that1guy.com November 21st, 2004 |
