Fireking are making a big noise at The Midway to celebrate the release of their “Double Trouble” album on double vinyl.
Fireking @ Midway Cafe 10.3.2015
Watts @ Midway Cafe 10.3.2015
It had been far, far too long since I had last seen Watts. If there was any doubt, the opening riff of “20 to 12” drove the point home with gusto.
John Powhida @ Midway Cafe 10.3.2015
John Powhida has a gift. His solo set at The Midway for the Fireking vinyl release show was 40 of the most entertaining minutes of my 2015. J-Po’s keen life observations and his ability to make the mundane musical is unrivaled in this town.
The Wrong Shapes – “Faith In Make-Believe” (2015)
The Wrong Shapes
“Faith In Make-Believe”
2015
September’s edition of the The Wrong Shapes’ Single of the Month series is a twisted Disney funeral dirge. The frightening and fanciful “Faith In Make-Believe” drifts through the darkness, finding its light in an undeniable chorus refrain. This is some dark magic.
Where to get it:
Stars Like Ours @ Midway Cafe 9.25.2015
How do you celebrate the release of a two catchy-as-heck singles? Why don’t you bring your friends down to The Midway for a party? You can rock out your tunes and maybe throw in a Teenage Fanclub or Guided By Voice cover. Maybe both. Good call, Stars Like Ours.
Jess Collins & Steph Curran @ Midway Cafe 9.25.2015
Jess Collins and Steph Curran of The Static Dynamic* showed that you can still be intense even when you dial back the bombast. Their set was part of the Stars Like Ours release show at The Midway.
* And for one song, Jess Jacobs of Band Without Hands.
Chrissy Vaccaro @ Midway Cafe 9.25.2015
Chrissy Vaccaro rocked some bare bones tunes as part of the Stars Like Ours single release show at The Midway.
Ringtail @ Midway Cafe 9.25.2015
Ringtail handled their debut show like the pros they are. They brought their sonic excursions to The Midway for the Stars Like Ours single release show.
Cujo @ Midway Cafe 9.25.2015
Cujo were a last minute fill-in as part of the Stars Like Ours single release show at The Midway. All they did was turn in the best show I’ve seen from them yet. No big deal.
Eric Salt & The Electric City @ Lizard Lounge 9.19.2015
Eric Salt & The Electric City closed out a night of great songs performed by fantastic musicians at a wonderful club. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. We’re lucky to have people like this in our town.
