In The Loop: 2/12/11. Robot Singing Over A Non-Holiday
Posted By Gavin Sheehan on February 12, 2011, 8:17 AM
Hello
to all you sing-talk listening, trashy clothes making, ghetto
fabulous styling, untalented praising enthusiasts. If you haven't
caught on by now, Ke$ha is coming to town this coming Friday. You
know, that one singer who looks like she put her wardrobe together at
DI with Gorilla Glue. That's probably how she fashioned her hair into
place too. And yes, we praise Lady Gaga for the same thing, but
there's a difference. She has some
talent. If you're headed out there then take my advice, go check out
the College Humor video about her singing, and then go buy some
rubbing alcohol to bathe in after the show. Let's check out, after a
two month dry spell, the latest addition to the 337 Memorial
Wall.
--- Looking
over the events to come, there's this bullshit holiday coming up,
that isn't a real one because no one gets paid for it, but you're
supposed to celebrate it. I'm not. The closest I'll probably come is
Sebadoh & Quasi over at Urban Lounge, if only because it will be
followed by the Ted Dancin' Valentines Day Party. If you're looking
to just celebrate with Ted, his shows kicks off around 11PM, though
we're sure it'll be closer to midnight knowing the way bands usually
operate. The show didn't really have one of its usual flyers, so hey, its a picture of Ted and his krew!
Speaking of Urban, they'll be playing host to SLUG
Magazine's
22nd
Birthday Party. Every year the monthly mag try to outdo themselves,
so considering last year's party broke their legal age with fog
bubbles and plenty of tinsel, this year should have something a tad
more glorious and rowdy. I expect strippers and sushi, but I'm
demanding. In and case the music will include Max Payne & The
Groovies, Speitre and DJ Knuckles. Plus there's bound to be several
surprises throughout the night. Go celebrate with them!
The
following Monday the 21st
will see a different kind of art come to town. Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art
School. Three hours of burlesque dancing and real-life sketching will
take over Bar Deluxe along with contests and prizes, not to mention
featured performances from former Slippery Kittens dancers Miss
Lorrie Ann and Mona Moore on stage. Ten bucks at the door.
Following
up on Wednesday is a double feature, first kicking off at the Tower
Theater where the Radio From Hell Film Festival will take center
stage. To be honest, if you haven't started on the film yet, the
chances of you finishing by the deadline are slim. But I knwo for a fact that many of you see that as a challenges, so you can get
details for submitting a film by clicking this link here. As for the
showcase, last year they had live performances and a delicious meal,
not to mention an evening of films from listeners and upcoming local
filmmakers. Not bad for a $10 ticket, you should check it out.
But
if film isn't up your alley then might we suggest the Salt Lake
Shitty Show at Bar Deluxe. Essentially, its open mic night for
EVERYONE! Comedians, bands, poets, stuntmen, and any other performer
of any ilk (who isn't looking for an automatic paycheck) are free to
join in the frey! And on top of that they will be filming the
showcase for a DVD release, with more plans to do these shows once a
month! If you'd like to perform, click their Facebook link here and
sign up!
And the to wrap it up we'll go to podcasting. I know
many of you are fans of “The Mediocre Show” out of Pennsylvania.
Well, they're coming to town to do a live show on March 19th
at Brewvies along side "The Geek Show Podcast". But that's a long trip for
three hosts to make here and back over a weekend, which is why
there's a Mediocre Fundraiser in the works. On February 26th
over at Salt Lake Recording Studios (721 South 400 West) will be a
live show featuring The Chickens, Tupelo Moan, Monkey Knife Fight and
the Legendary Porch Pounders raising funds to bring them out. $7 donation to get in. If
you're a fan of the show, this is a can't-miss event.
As for
the blog... we'll have more from the City Weekly Music Awards, check
out a new gallery in town, hit up Gallery Stroll for the month,
explore two plays on the way and a new convention in town up at the
U. At least that's the plan, there's a lot of events and other
happenings between now and then. So as always, we'll see what
happens.
