[Pelican]
[Stephen Brodsky]
[Kayo Dot]
[Worn in Red]
This Friday night 11/7, the Chicago based instrumental band Pelican will be stopping at the Outback Lodge. Opening will be locals Worn In Red, who have just returned from a southern tour which included playing at The Fest and debuting a new 7″ record. Also opening is Stephen Brodsky, who fronted Cave-In. I have heard good things about his solo stuff.
Some of you may remember seeing Pelican back in March (or at least reading my review of the show). Well now you’ve got some notice. These guys are truly not to be missed, it is amazing that they’re stopping here again. Go Go Go. They’ve just returned from a monthlong tour in Europe where (according to their website) they had to deal with their van getting broken into in Rome and a bunch of stuff stolen including their passports [news here]. I’ve been anticipating this show since it was announced, it should be a highlight of the fall concerts in Charlottesville. This is likely one you’ll be hearing about if you don’t go and get your tickets NOW.

I was sitting on my ass, looking out at the sunset west of town last night and I was thinking about hating. Yea, hating. I’m guilty of it - maybe too often - and a lot of times it is well deserved because lets face it there are a lot of things in this town to hate on. I mean there’s that abomination of terrible sound eminating from Coupe de Villes every weekend night during the school year and that terrible band that… OK .. breathing deeply…
There are also a lot of things about the music and arts scene here that I love. I’m really a lover at heart, and not a fighter. The heart of squidtank is only partially black and opaque, even though all of me loves the Cure.

The Outback Lodge hosts a three-band bill tonight. Line-up includes the Young Livers, and local bands Truman Sparks and Worn in Red. This is an all ages show. Cost is $6. The MUSE says be there shortly before 10pm. We’ll let what you hear when you walk in the door be a surprise!
[UPDATE: And if you go tonight, you better come back and tell us about it. Woe unto the thee who fails to do so! (said the little man behind the curtain.)]
