Course, I guess walkie can't get into the bigboy clubs around town.he can, he just needs a bouncer with weak eyesight and an extremely limited knowledge of Rhode Island's various forms of identification.
Warehouse shows
hey thirsty - sorry I missed the show…I was feeling pretty sick last night and couldn't get it together enough to go…
but enough of this! what's next on the mutual walkie-thirsty calendar? it's been way too long.
and Turn Pale should be fun tonight… they were excellent last time.

Hope you're feeling better. You didn't miss much though. I'll probably be at one of the Blonde Redhead gigs at the Black Cat. I'm considering No Neck but I'll be spending most of Sunday with my family.

I wanted to take a moment to tell you all of The Florenteensâ?? next show â?? this Saturday, April 10th, at the special time of 1pm. The Florenteens will be playing the Warehouse Theater Caféâ??s special lunchtime series, â??Music to Last a Lunchtimeâ?. Weâ??ll be playing a set of all your favorite pop trinkets, with a couple of special numbers added for the occasion. Another act (TBD) will follow.
The best part? It's FREE!
The Warehouse Theater Café is located directly across the southeast corner of the new Washington Convention Center:
Warehouse Theater
1021 7th Street NW
Washington, DC
(202) 783-3933
The show is FREE, and the Warehouse Theater Café serves delightful sandwiches and salads. Yup, I know. My Cuban panini during Lejeune's set this past weekend was both delightful, and highly recommended. Weâ??d love to see you out for a tasty and nutritious Pop Brunch!
Cheers!

SATURDAY
The much-hyped New Weird America sound isnâ??t really all
that weird; itâ??s just the latest wave of the once-a-decade
folk revival. Itâ??s still all about the singersâ?? record
collections and grasping at purity. Meaning that we get references
to Pentangle, Fairport Convention, and Bert Jansch. Meaning
that we get a band such as Phillyâ??s Espers, which has
managed to harness the sheer power of the plastic recorder as a
method of time travel. But Espers isnâ??t hippie folk; this
is indie folkâ??because you know the cool kids wouldnâ??t be
caught dead reading Dirty Linen or stocking up on yarn at the
local loom store. Espers delivers it all: the drones, the
lilt, the hush, the sounds youâ??d expect to hear upon waking
up in a dewy forest. And sincerityâ??s a plus when itâ??s the
only thing youâ??re aiming your autoharp at in the first
place. Espers plays with Dead Meadow, Long Live Death, and White
Flight at 9:30 p.m. at the Warehouse Next Door, 1017 7th
St. NW. $8. (202) 783-3933. (Jason Cherkis)
SUNDAY
The No-Neck Blues Bandâ??s rotating cast of musicians (most
of whom go nameless or by esoteric nicknames) has operated
out of a collective New York loft space called Hint House
since the mid-â??90s. The bandâ??s live performances have been
few and far between, often free shows on warehouse roofs or
in parks throughout NYC. All of this mystery informs the
bandâ??s music, which conjures images of a midnight seance in
the mountains with someone spinning ESP-Disk records in a
back room. Percussion rattles eerily around, a banjo strum
enters to center everything, lonely vocals meander in and out,
a saxophone squeal pierces it allâ??and then weâ??re left with
the quiet nothingness of night sounds. No-Neck plays with
Cant, Izititiz, and Stones at 9 p.m. at the Warehouse Next
Door, 1017 7th St. NW. $8. (202) 783-3933. (Jacob Long)

Sentai (ikea)
Les Angles Morts (montreal)
Ghost to Falco (portland)
The Creeping Nobodies (ontario)
$7, all ages
Sentai is electronic punk wizardry. Instrumentation includes the standard rock apparatus of guitar, bass and drums…as well as roland groovebox/sampler/synths/colored lights and whatever else they can get their hands on for the time being.
======================
Les Angles Morts play post-punk movie scores. Rather than using video projections as background to their live shows, Les Angles Morts' movies are an integral part of their musical expression. Their songs are connected rhythmically and thematically to the films that are screened at their shows. Blending analog synths from the 1970s and 80s with guitars, drums and bass, Les Angles Morts make dynamic music that is at times angular and aggressive, and alternately ambient, eerie, and nostalgic.
=======================
Ghost to Falco - Eric Crespo plays electric guitar w/ loops+singing words+playing analog synthesizer+using all kinds of samples and voices+various other things to make noisy/loud/sparse/dense/heartbreaking/sci-fi/layered/epic/pretty music(songs). There's enough gadgetry, multi-tasking, and! TV screens involved in the set to keep about any showgoer entertained for the 20 minutes or so.

May 12th â?? The Evens w/ the Quails
I listened to their mp3 on Protest Records volume 2, so Iâ??m curious to find out what the rest of their music is like. Am I the only one, or is anyone else going to check this out?

May 12th â?? The Evens w/ the Quails
Two film events:
48 Hour "Fringe Film Festival"
TUE April 27
Screening - 7pm $4
Networking Happy Hour - 8pm
Curious about the 48 Hour Film Festival?
Come to a screening of some of our weirdest, strangest and most imaginative films from the last three years. See Out-house puppets! Squeaky the penis! Bush, the Musical! And many more. 7 - 8pm, $4.00
*walkie note* I've participated over the past couple of years, and I'll definitely have a project this year too…it's a whole lot of fun if you have some liquor, 8 or 9 friends and a copy of Final Cut.
FILM - "Burn to Shine" + "Pancake Mountain" + "Las Historias Mas Sexy Del Mundo"
MON May 3
8 & 10pm $5
Burn to Shine is a film that takes place on one day in a house that no longer exists. Slated for demolition, filmmakers Brendan Canty and Christoph Green used the house to film Q and Not U, Medications, Garland of Hours, French Toast, Ted Leo, Weird War, The Evens, and Bob Mould playing their music live in the living room. Very simple and beautiful. Features the destruction of one pretty nice house (if a little small). 45 min.
Pancake Mountain is a television show without a home. It's meant for kids but it's full of live music by like Thievery Corporation, The Evens, Anti-Flag, and Uncalled4 (a seriously bad ass go go band who sing just one of many fantastical pancake songs). Lotsa larfs, tunes and cartoons. Relive those saturday mornings, and rock out with this orphan tv pilot. 30 min.
Las Historias is an obscurist take on mid-70's European soft-core porn films. The live music and actors were contributed by DC's Scene Creamers. Directed by Eric Cheever. 15 minutes.

anyway, I'll definitely be at need new body and subarachnoid (both bands that need to be heard live). The Hidden Hand is the guy from Saint Vitus/Spirit Caravan, right? Don't know what the new stuff sounds like, but I can assume it's more of the (yawn) same…Born Too Late was kinda cool, though.
Anyway, don't know much about the other bands…what's the word?

actually, there are a bunch of people that book shows at the warehouse, but only a couple of main ones. you might be thinking of nick. in fact, i am actually booking there occasionally, only psych/experimental/heavy stuff that gets neglected around here. the warehouse is really starting to get a lot of interesting shows.
the hidden hand is indeed wino's new band, but i think they are even better than the obsessed and spirit caravan. i do love that stuff, being a sabbath fanatic, but the hidden hand include two younger guys instead of the grizzled biker dudes that tend to play doom metal. the hidden hand is more democratic, and there are a lot more psychedelic and prog tendencies (but not lame ones!), and even some flashes of post-punk in their angularity and politics. i think you should give them a chance if you like heavy music but are bored of the typical stoner pentatonic blues riffing. ostinato is the hidden hand's drummer's band, in which he plays guitar (his main instrument). they have a new album out and it's awesome…think of a hybrid of the shipping news, unwound, and explosions in the sky.
YOB are from eugene, oregon and very much like sleep and high on fire – HEAVY CRUSHING DOOM with stacks of matamps, which give them their fuzzy, full-bodied tone. their last album had three songs and clocked in at 50 minutes, if that gives you an idea. wretched is actually an old doom band from the area that sherman from spirit caravan was in. unorthodox are also a veteran doom band from maryland that plays out once or twice a year. keep away unless you like bands that worship at the altar of black sabbath, blue cheer, budgie, and pentagram.
subarachnoid space are incredible live, as they complement their bardo pond/mogwai/hawkwind/pink floyd sound with trippy film projections. we're working on openers right now.
hella blew my mind when i saw them open for the aislers set last year, and i am really looking forward to seeing need new body. for some reason, every time they play in the area, i have to miss them.

I really dug Hidden Hand when they opened for Darkest Hour at Black Cat. I had a great time rocking the fuck out to their Sabbath drenched Wino-grooves while all the mall/wusscore kids turned their pointy noses in disgust at what they considered their 'parent's music'. I was rocking out with my boys, with some spicy encouragement via Captain Morgan.
Originally posted by snailhook:Nick, that's the guy…anyway, I didn't realize it was turning into such a team effort, but I guess that explains the diversity of the recent additions. the warehouse is quickly turning into the best place to see independent bands in DC.

i am really looking forward to seeing need new body.saw them open for Out Hud last summer and they pretty much tore the Black Cat down around our ears.
