September is an awesome month: Week IV

We hope you had a great week…this week is shaping up to be stellar:

Thursday September 22 at Popeye’s Garage
Gringo Star
The Mountain Movers
$5
ALL AGES!
8pm

It’s been a lifetime since we last saw Gringo Star and the boys have been busy busy busy. They’ve recently signed with Gigantic Music and their latest release “Count Yer Lucky Stars” was produced by Ben Allen. Old school folks will remember their original band “A Fir-Ju Well” as they played New Haven countless times before playing as Gringo Star…these fellas are practically honorary Elm Citizens. They’ve got a catchy blend of southern fried psych rock, drenched in vocal harmonies and song hooks…you won’t resist!

Check out their new video: http://vimeo.com/27817607

The Mountain Movers are opening the show and let me tell you, we are extremely excited to see our old friends. See you Thursday!

We'd like to point out some sad news: Our good friend Jamie Saxton passed away last week, much too young, but he had to go. We will be CELEBRATING his life and the good times at a memorial service Tuesday September 20th at Toad's Place in New Haven, Connecticut. Sea Of Bones will play a set and Jim Martin of Broken will DJ. Here are some details:

September is an awesome month: Week II

It's a great month to be living in New Haven, Connecticut...

Friday September 9th at Elm Bar in New Haven, CT
Heavy Hands
Sea Of DRONES
9pm
$3
21+over

It's been ages since Heavy Hands have brought their blend of psychedelic rock for Elm Citizens to ingest. This is your chance to flashback! Shaki Presents is very proud to bring our good buddies from NY to play everyone's favorite, the Elm Bar. They'll be here to hypnotize and mesmerize with their reverb and riffs. We are very excited for this show!

"On the fine Language of Stone vinyl LP SMOKE SIGNALS...this storming recording burns with the intensity of most live recordings and that’s the whole difference. Strangely, Heavy Hands’ musicians exhibit so few signs of any post-punk influences that it gives the LP a fetishistic nature, somewhat like hanging out with a lost airman from WW2 who never found out the war was over. Hey, that’s it; these druids sound like early ‘70s German or Danish rockers. No Grunge, no Stoner, nuthin’! Now, anything that spooky is worthy of investigation!"-Julian Cope

We are tremendously excited to announce this fine addition to an already stellar show: Sea Of Drones. Connected folks already know that other band, Sea of BONES and we are happy to debut an otherworldy side project from those go-to-guys-of-heavy. While SOBones might be the fellas to call when you need something pulverized, crushed, and ground to a fine dust, Sea Of Drones promise to fill the room with waves of sound to float on (instead of being crushed under). It is an absolute pleasure to bring these guys out for this great night. Don't miss it!

ALL AGES!

We didn't book this spectacular event, but we will most certainly champion the cause! In his own words...
"My name is Ian Nagoski. I live in a small mountain town in Appalachia. I'm involved in 78 rpm records; I have a record label called Canary (manufactured and distributed by Mississippi Records of Portland, OR) that does reissues of some of this stuff (five releases to date; four more in the can) and a radio show called Fonotopia where I tell some stories and play some records. I have done a reissue project for the Dust-to-Digital label called Black Mirror, and a 3CD set called To What Strange Place will be issued this Fall on the Tompkins Square label. I also lecture regularly at all kinds of venues."
