Seeing the boys from Leroy Justice on stage tends to remind me of the scene in Cheech and Chong's Up In Smoke when Curtis first passes out the new uniforms to the band. Man (Chong): No, hey man, if we're gonna wear uniforms man, you know let's have everybody wear something different. Pedro (Cheech): Yea, that's it. Yea, we want something wear everybody wears something different man, but the same, you know? Always dressed to the nines in their "same, but different" vests and three [...]
By: David SchultzOn their way out to Ghent, New York to play host for the Let It Roll Festival, Pawnshop Roses stopped in New York City for a set at the Bowery Electric, a venue that retains the earthy nature of the evaporating Lower East Side concert scene. Kicking off with "Let It Roll," the Roses worked their fine style of laissez-faire Rolling Stones rock in roll between the interstices of a
Lots going on this week, but very little that really excites me. I've bolded the few shows and/or bands that interest me enough to consider seeing. Oh, and if you're a Pash fan, I recommend that you get out to the Black Cat tomorrow night. I've heard that their lead singer, Meredith - who was also in Title Tracks until recently - is moving (or has moved) to Austin, so you're probably not gonna be seeing them again anytime soon. Sunday 9/6 Birchmere: Maysa [...]

DeVotchka (Photo From Band's Myspace) All the holidays are long over, the madness that was DC earlier this week has passed and I have finally situated myself into a new apartment and secured an internet connection. Now I can get you the low down on what to check out this weekend in the IA area. Not much on the multi-stop front. Most already played elsewhere earlier this week or are coming soon to your town. That said, there are plenty of shows worth seeing. Friday [...]
I've held off on posting this for a little while now to avoid the backlash from the rest of the Stranger Dance staff who don't share my Tom Waits obsession . But, this is too bizarre and funny to let pass. Waits has never been one for convention. His musical style has jumped all over the musical map over the course of his 30-year career, but it rarely approaches conventional (or, for that matter, accessible) after his first album. And his personal life has been no different - he has no birth certificate and [...]
