Formed in late 2007, Sister Ex features Claudia Neuman, a singer/songwriter from Los Angeles, guitarist Anthony Piazza, formally of Florida's Defectors and Washington D.C.'s
Eubie Hayve and Liquid Kitty, bassist Lisa Shenouda from Asheville's Telepromptors and Touchless Automatic, drummer Steve Jackson of D.C. bands Geek, Fear of Man and Rupa. Together they create music that is a twisted mixture of the sublime, profane, dark, lyrical and whimsical. And Sister Ex is very lucky to have Big Al Sevilla join our live performances playing pedal steel guitar.
Flying in on a psychedelic mule on gilded Wingos and landing in a barn near you soon. Jay apparently is not accustomed to the paparazzi (yet- oh you wait)
Well, can't make it tonight or to my lesson, got sick, been in bed all day. Could be worse. Here's the info on Randy's rather strange sounding gig Sunday and I quote...
"the band is the GoPills, two of the other acts are Tippy Canoe and Uni and Her Uke, time is Sunday 29th 3;30 p.m or thereabouts, free show, at Atomic Pop..I don't have a street #, but it is on Falls Road where 36th st. tees into it across from the 7/11 in fashionably funky Hampden (What do you call a 30 year old woman pushing a stroller in Hampden? Hi Grandma!) Atomic Pop is a record store run by the people who own Atomic Books in Hampden; 36th street also features Cafe Hon, where we dined a while back. "
Some sort of diabolical ukelele fest. Sounds entertaining to me, but clearly not for everyone- haha.
And how about what Randy calls "Las Vegas sleaze psychedelia" -a special flavor indeed, like a martini with a toothpick stuck through a peyote button. Changed my life.
Lee Hazlewood & Nancy Sinatra "Some Velvet Morning"
I’m pretty sure Bert Bacharach and Hal David songs don’t count, even if Love were the most degenerate, scruffy psychedelicists of all time hands down. But still there is no force more powerful than Love.
Love- My Little Red Book And speaking of Burt Bacharach and Hal David and Martha Hull (who may just possibly have been being sarcastic- but that would be SO out of character)
Ottley! Walk On By Ask me sometime why Martha often dedicates this to me and or Juanita
Y'all tore it up at Artomatic. Each show is better than the last and I'm starting to know the songs pretty well, a sure sign they're really good. "Only 6 Years Old" was powerful- "I'm a Weapon" hot... Verily my world has been rocked- love and light- DonK
WOW!Loved having you guys out there watching us last night. It was truly inspirational having so many of my favorite DC musicians in the audience. DC music scene rules. Luv Forever, The Beatnik Flies
Intensive top-secret preparations are underway for D-Day at the Quarry House.
Friday June 6th at 9pm
The bristling beachhead of boredom is bound to be breached by all.
Headlining are the hardened veterans of THE BEATNIK FLIES unit under the tenacious generalship of the indomitable Joe “Patton” Dolan with his pearl jam handled revolvers on his hips.
Opening are the eager for action greenhorns DOLLAR BIN under the distinguished leadership of the legendary Randy “Ike” Austin. Their drummer CB has been kidnapped by the dreaded Baltimore Irish Music Mafia for the night, but the brazen multi-instrumentalist Phil Duarte of the Franco-Basque-Portuguese Resistance code named “Pup Tent” will make you rock your fine behind.
Indian Code-Talker Juanita Mendoza Keesing will confound the enemy with her elaborate Yaqui-Apache based jive. How many fascists will be left alive?
Sure, Roky and the boys set the bar pretty high (so to speak) but we're bringing THE ELECTRIC POOL PARTY this Sat 5/17 with the mighty RAMBLING SHADOWS and DOLLAR BIN. Free show! PG Community Pool 4pm 34th & Buchanan, Mt Rainier, MD
