There's My Monday Night
I may've been vaguely aware of this show, but it somehow remained dim in my memory banks. Luckily, I'm on the Tone Rodent e-mail list and the band's reminded me that they'll be sharing the stage again with the Black Angels, an Austin-based band frequently hung with Velvet Underground comparisons. That's probably a too-quick and too-encompassing namedrop, but it generally does work in this case. And after gorging on Andy Warhol videos via Netflix recently, I'm needing a fix of lengthy, droning, loud and slightly freaky rock'n'roll.
So: Monday night, Off Broadway, 9 p.m. showtime, with Tone Rodent in the opening support slot. This doublebill was possibly my favorite show of the earlier in 2006, so I'm hoping for exactly that level of blissed-out excitement.
By the way, Off Broadway is now opening for regular hours through the week, with a 3 p.m. first call. If you're in South City and wanna sample from a 100-beer list, this could be your place.
