“It will be a heavy freak out”. Those are the words that were passed along to me to describe Monday’s upcoming Awesome Color and Invisible Hand show at the Outback Lodge. A heavy freak out sure sounds like a hell of a lot of fun, so count me in.
Awesome Color, the three-piece band out of Brooklyn, NY by way of Ann Arbor, MI, features Derek Stanton on guitar, Mike Troutman on bass, and Allison Busch on drums. The band has toured with the likes of Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr. and their most recent album, Electric Aborigines, is the band’s second full-length release for Thurston Moore’s Ecstatic Peace! label. Here’s what one reviewer had to say about the new record:
“Awesome Color…can channel the ghosts of the Stooges and MC5 without sounding like big-muffed necrophiliacs…Electric Aborigines proves Awesome can only get more awesome”–Detroit Metro Times
Invisible Hand, the solo side project for Charlottesville’s Adam Smith (who also performs with Truman Sparks and Articulate Chewbecca for starters), opens. [Invisible Hand MySpace] The show kicks off at 9pm. $6-8.

thanks for playin!
Now that the risk of winning tickets to something I can’t attend is over…. favorite color?
GRAY!
Huh? Nope, not at all a dull color. It’s the most mysterious color- most changeable color- never looks the same twice- totally influenced by its neighbors, nebulous, tricky, rebellious, hard to capture, insightful. YEA GRAY!!!!
Second most awesome color? Any florescent… Cool how florescents lock up light for a brief moment and stack up the color so you see a double dose at one time.
By the wayside- suspect (don’t know) phthalo blue is a backdoor cousin of the florescent family.
