Adam Franklin @ Vintage V.
Okay. Last item of the day, but I've been holding this one for a bit and I'd like to help the world that Adam Franklin of the immortal Swervedriver will be at Vintage Vinyl in October. The date and time are below, along with some notes from VV PR czar Jim Utz. I cannot wait.

October 13th
5:00PM
Special afternoon set from former Swervedriver vocalist Adam Franklin
Though the music world lost the amazing Swervedriver many years ago thankfully the main voice and songwriter of the group Adam Franklin didn't throw in the towel like most of the other dead shoegazers. Free of the band dynamic and the expectations of such a loved band, Adam Franklin used this freedom to his advantage to explore various approaches to performing music again. Sometimes acoustic, sometimes with band, dabbling with electronics or stripped down to the super basics...whatever the approach beautiful and catchy pop music was the core. Finally releasing his first "proper" solo album under his own name, Adam Franklin has made an amazing record that incorporates all of the above approaches that blends the perfect amounts of rock, country and psychedelia. See Adam Franklin live at Vintage Vinyl on October 13th beginning at 5:00PM as he promotes his brand new record "Bolts Of Melody".
Yay!
