one, two buckaroo
(title has no relation to content whatsoever. yep.)
yet another LONG time since my last post, but it’s been nutty busy. i’ve been taking on all kinds of projects that i hope to be able to post about soon, but you’ll probably get another lull after this update.
first off, two new gig posters to show. the first, wanda jackson, who will be at the state room later on this month is one hell of a rockin lady. the queen of rockabilly shall put on a heck of a show, i’m sure. be sure to check out the “you know i’m no good” amy winehouse cover that i recently became privy to. something from back in the day: hard headed woman. can’t you see why she and elvis dated? not bad at all, miss wanda jackson. and, props to jack white who’s featured in her newest stuff. seriously, she’s a big deal. come check her out!
up next is the rural alberta advantage. i hadn’t heard of them initially but with my increasing use of the hype machine, they were popping up in my playist and i dig it. this indie-rock band hails from canada (duh) and produces songs that embrace living and growing up in central and northern alberta. their song stamp is probably what i’ve liked most and only look forward to hearing more (the stamp video is pretty damn funny, too). strange to say, too, that this band selection was solely based on their name. it looked like fun to hand letter…and, of course, it was. a nice marriage of good music and fun type to play with. again, should be a good show! dont miss them.
also related: for you tweeps out there, the state room is doing ticket and swag giveaways as they try to reach 1000 followers on twitter (@thestateroom, hashtag: #1kfollow). so, follow them, retweet them and show them some love—they’ll certainly love you for it. seriously, these guys are awesome. and if you haven’t come to a show at the state room, you’re missing out big. it’s one of my favorite venues in town because it’s an intimate show even when shows are sold out. really, they’re an understated music gem in small lake city.
