Glenn Jones + Colorguard = November 4th at Never Ending Books

ALL AGES

Very glad to announce the return of Glenn Jones to the Elm City. And while Glenn was here not too long ago, he has been very busy. First off, he's just released a new LP, his first on Thrill Jockey, and it is been getting great reviews. "The Wanting" finds him at the top of his game, it really doesn't get any better. This coming from a man who...
"Before embarking on his solo career, Glenn put out nine albums with the Boston based psych band Cul de Sac over the course of their 20 year history, some of which included collaborations with Damo Suzuki and John Fahey."
Not too shabby, nope, not at all.
But it gets even better: Glenn is the editor of a new John Fahey archival collection, "Your Past Comes Back to Haunt You (The Fonotone Years 1958-1965)" out now on the esteemed Dust-to-Digital record label. Just when you think you've heard it all, he's back for more. Thankfully. And you catch him right here in New Haven, at Never Ending Books. Come see this masterful finger picker shred on his acoustic guitar, no amp necessary. Just a man, his six string, and some modified capos. This will not disappoint. Come one, come all.

Colorguard is the hidden gem of New Haven. Her sets are always unique and special. Some folks may remember Kryssi Battalene as one half of (the now de-funked) "Popeye's Garage", the Elm City's favorite off-the-map, off-the-radar, off-the-planet performance space that hosted many incredible shows in its brief life. Some folks may recognize her as the axe-wielder in The Mountain Movers. All will agree, she is out of this world! Please arrive early and catch this rising star. Her sets range from the sublime to the visceral. This will no doubt be very special!

September is an awesome month: Week V

Honored and sad to announce my last show at Popeye's Garage in New Haven, Connecticut...and it's a good one!

It's been an amazing ride but all things must pass and this too shall pass... after a few healthy seasons of some of the best in underground sounds, Popeye's Garage will be calling it quits after September. Yes, sad but true, October and beyond we will be Popeye's Garage-less. But this last week of shows is stellar and this one in particular has us very excited.

Female are a mindfuck but you'll keep coming back for more...

H. is our good friend from France. Existing somewhere in the noise/ambient/hypno realm, she's got some great tracks to be found here:

Colorguard melts your polar caps with some serious shredding, trust me, I've seen it happen before...

Chris Point is known for bringing people to the edge of sanity and moral reason with his harsh noise. Noise not music.

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:

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."
