SATURDAY, APRIL 2 Set Your Clocks Spring Forward!
Pendergast, The Gaslights, and Brian Capps & the True Liars (Springfield) @ DAVEY’S UPTOWN
You won’t hear the heartbeat of the Midwest ring any louder tonight. KC’s Pendergast and The Gaslights separately put on one hell of a show, together it could be damaging to love-sick hearts, trusty livers, and be-damned…blow out one’s capacity for fun. Both bands released CD’s in 2004, “The Truth About Saturday Night” and “The Midwest Hotel”, respectively; both giving roots to my trusty KC local CD collection. Although I haven’t seen Brian Capps & The True Liars yet, I hear that they are a worthy companion for tonight’s line-up. I’ll be there to bare witness. -di

James Apollo w/ Goodnight Daylight @ THE BRICK
Man, when it rains it pours. I have been a bit “road worn and weary”, battling a cold with a mix of allergies. As I am finally starting to feel better I am thrown into a quandary as to where I will be spending my Saturday eve. Sure that my evening would be spent at Davey’s, I now see that I will be traveling to a variety of venues as I must see my
new favorite KC band Goodnight Daylight. I got my paws on a bit of their recorded material and haven’t been able to take it out of the ol’ CD player since. For all intensive purposes, Goodnight Daylight has been my traveling companion on my drives to Lawrence the past couple of months. Finally I am in town and free as a bird to check em’ out live again! And after catching a bit of James Apollo from Minneapolis via his website, I am left thinking I’m going to have to stick around to check out the man described as “a savage purveyor of root-rock-n-roll revelry”. To all beware, you will most likely find me everywhere. -jaq

Steve Earle w/ Allison Moorer @ LIBERTY HALL
So much to say and so little room. Steve Earle, has lead a life of ups, downs and excess. This Texas born, country rocker, singer/songwriter, rebel, and revolutionary kicked the term "folk rock" in the rear and helped pave the musical highway for what we now call, for better or for worse, "alt-country". An 8th grade drop-out, he took to music and began honing his craft with the likes of Guy Clark, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Townes Van Zandt. He battled a long-term addiction to heroin that took him to rock bottom and ended up handing him a 4-month stay at the county jail. He fought his way back from the bottom and continues to put out one great album after another. Political and controversial, he’s raised the hairs on the necks of many and endured much criticism with his 2002 release “Jerusalem”. He has a punk rock sensibility that drives him to sing out against the government and lend a voice to those who are silenced. Through it all, he has delivered an amazing catalogue of music to do
cument the journey and was awarded a Grammy this year for "Best Contemporary Folk Album" for his release "The Revolution Starts...Now".

Brother Ike’s Rural Grit Happy Hour 6-9pm @ THE BRICK

Strange Bedfellows (late night) @ BALANCAS
Toots and the Maytals @ THE BOTTLENECK
Toots is considered "one of the true architects of reggae" and often referred to as the "Creator" of Reggae. Formed in the early 60's, the sound of Toots and the Maytals emerged from a mixture of ska, rock-steady and jazz, with Toots developing his song style from soul (Ray Charles, Otis Redding) and gospel. The music of Toots and the
Maytals has inspired musicians from varied genres such as rock, punk, blues and hip hop. In 2004, their release "True Love" received a Grammy for Reggae Album of the Year. Guest appearances on the album include, Bunny Wailer, Marcia Griffiths, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, The Roots and No Doubt. They were featured in film "The Harder They Come" which means they are part of what is one of the all-time
best soundtracks to date. And check this out. Their 1968 tune "Do The Reggay" is credited with giving the genre its name. Wow! And you have the chance to catch these cats at a little venue called the Bottleneck pups!

RELEASES:
April 5th Supersuckers, “Devil’s Food”
Last summer I relinquished my 12-year boycott on this band (check your Sad Dog archives for the full skinny), thanks to some strong-arming from friends smarter than me. 10 months later I’m eagerly awaiting the release of “Devil’s Food”. Much to the chagrin of Supersuckers’ collectors out there, “Devil’s Food” contains a collection of most recent hard to find, out of print and previously unavailable singles as well as some never before released demos and country versions of their most popular rock crowd pleasers. I’ll be picking it up Tuesday. I think they say…. “eatin’ crow”? -di

JAQ’S NOTES:
As I mentioned earlier, I've been chillin' like a villain due to the spring cold in my head and a desperate need for some downtime after my trip south. I am getting geared up for shows this weekend and will be running around like Max at the dog park trying to decide on which musical bottom I will stick my nose. But for now, since I am still a bit groggy and hopped up on cold medicine, the couch is calling my name and I am off to settle in with my latest Netflix order "Tenacious D: Complete Masterworks: For Fans: Disc 1" and "School of Rock". See you this weekend!
DI’S NOTES:
First Bootlegger’s Union Show, March 26, DAVEY’S UPTOWN
Joe Roberts Trio, Yellow No. 5, Johnny Switchblade & The KC Crooners, John Nash Band, and Jon Stubblefield
If we start handing out stamps of approval, purple hearts, or gold stars here at Sad Dog HQ I’m giving the first one to Bill “Roach” Sundahl of SOL Productions. If you’ve been to a Donkey Show you have this guy and his lovely girl Wende to thank. Last week he joined forces with Jody Hawkins (Rockabilly Prom, Punk vs. Rockabilly) and threw what I hope is the first of many Bootlegger’s Union shows. Aside from seeing Roach and Jon Stubblefield acoustic on the bar room stage, the stand out for me, was Yellow No. 5. They’ve come onto our radar a bit but this was the first time I caught their live show. While I’m always hesitant to draw comparisons when describing music, this time it is just undeniable. Fans of Old 97’s, prior to their latest release and the Rhett Miller solo fiasco, will find a refreshing and local new found friend in Yellow No. 5. Easy on the eyes, down right fun and danceable at first crack their show will have me coming back again. Pick up their 2004 release “Mud Road
Superstars” to introduce yourself. One of the tracks is driving me a bit crazy with a mandolin melody that sounds exactly like the ring on my cell phone at same pitch, but I’ll learn. It’s infectious and will be a nice play as you open your windows and start feeling Spring.
