- Of Elvis Perkins [2] [myspace [3]], NPR writes “brooding, thoughtful, sophisticated” [# [4]] and “heartbreaking but hopeful” [# [5]]. This is a nice way of saying that he’s a folkish rock singer whose voice is just weird enough to keep you paying attention and pretty enough that listening to his sad songs might just make you happy. [tractor]
- The poster for tonight’s Voyager One [6] + Head Like a Kite [7] show remains one of the most eye-catching I’ve seen in weeks. You know it. It’s black and white with a dog barking and a a large “V” spanning the “oyager” and the “one” lines. Even if you didn’t like epic space rock, this might be enough to draw you in. [crocodile [8]]
- Indie P.R. and music blogging masterminds the WIG [9] celebrate their birthday tonight in the local installation of WIG BASH 2007 by gathering Iceage Cobra [10], Shim [11], Seaweed Jack [12], and the Trucks [13]. It’s a pretty diverse menu; so dull moments should be few and far between, particularly with the ladies of the Trucks doing everything in their power to make you dance. [highdive [14]]
- Dodge and Burn, a new collaboration from BLVD Gallery, Gummi Studio and Alyssa Rhodes that focuses on digestion of urban contemporary lifestyle arts and culture, launches a website (wearedodgeburn.com [15]) tonight at the Baltic Room. DJs and live painting!
