Mike Ireland and the Holler 9pm @ HARRY�S COUNTRY CLUB (112 Missouri Ave.)
Every second Saturday of the month you�ll find Mike and the Holler outside on the patio at Harry�s Country Club. As this was the spot Sad Dog was conceived (over a few PBR�s in very small chilled glasses), we tend to have a soft spot in our heart for this little city honky-tonk. Offering a great view of the shimmering buildings of downtown, a killer jukebox (filled with the sweet sounds of Hank, Johnny, Patsy, Waylon, and Willie), a very hospitable staff, and now, the sweet country sounds of Mike Ireland and the Holler, Harry�s downtown patio is the place to cool off in the months of summer.

Looks like another hot night at Blayney�s. This week John Stubblefield will be pouring out his brand of honky-tonk. I have had the pleasure of John�s company the last few weeks, as he has been one of the crew learnin� the ropes on the �Official Rock and Roll Radio Show�. We all bring in our playlist of the week and John never fails to add a little country to our rock with the likes of Waylon, Billy Joe Shaver, James McMurtry, and Steve Earle. I haven�t had a chance to check out Stubblefield yet, but if his influences are any indication of his sound, I am there already. Thank you again to The Gaslights, who are our ever lovin� hosts of the eve and never fail to kick out one heck of a show. -jaq

Throw Rag w/ Cocknoose @ REPLAY LOUNGE (Lawrence, KS)
If you missed Throw Rag at Mike�s Tavern last month, we�re sorry about that, but here�s another chance. They were fresh off a Queens of the Stone Age tour when we caught them but hell they sure didn�t seem too weary for it. While I�m a QOTSA fan these boys bring a show and sound that is much more fierce. They�ve adopted the moniker Sailor Rock to name their sound. It�s okay, we didn�t know what it meant either. They hail from Salton Sea, CA which may be the reason this punk outfit chose it. Looking a little bit rockabilly at first sight, don�t be fooled, there�s nothing to it when it comes to their show. Five boys onstage, two trading off vocals, means no lack of energy when these boys hit these parts again. -di

JAQ�S NOTES:
2nd Annual North Texas Rock Rally, June 15-17, 2005, Coyote, TX (In Northlake, TX)
I have been hearing about this festival, and have certainly been intrigued, being that I have always had a side to me that dreams of being a biker chick. I never really gave it much more than a thought due to the fact that I really don�t like big festivals. A bit ironic considering I pay the bills by coordinating festivals. However, all of that changed when I heard that our own Federation of Horsepower is on The North Texas Rock Rally bill.
Well, I love the Federation boys, so I was compelled to due a little investigating into this shindig that prides itself on being the Largest Party in North Texas, and puts itself in a category with Sturgis and Daytona (the two most well-known bike rally�s in the country). Their motto is �Ride Hard�Get Attitude�Live Free�, and the headliners are Ted Nugent, David Allen Coe, Jackyl, Warrant, Blackfoot, Blackberry Smoke, Maylee Thomas, and Back In Black (a band that reproduces an AC/DC concert performance), just to name a few. Event sponsors include Hooters, Loco Cycles, Dawgs and Hawgs, and Zippo �The Official Lighter� of NTRR. I can only imagine that when you enter the gates you prepare yourself for a weekend of �anything goes� and those brave enough to bare it all (which I am sure the list is long), Do! You can choose to check yourself into a hotel or dive right in and set up camp. Either way this should prove to be one helluva weekend. So for those of you whose ears have perked up and are formulating ideas of headin� to North Texas to support one of our favorite rock-n-roll machines Federation of Horsepower, head to www.northtexasrockrally.com for more details.
As a final note, last year Back in Black was a supporting band at the event and this year they are a headlining act. Let�s just wait and see where Federation is in the line-up once they kick some Texas bootie.

DI�S NOTES:
Whoa pups. It�s been a tough week. My roomie graduated Cum Laude last weekend and we had an outstanding celebration. In an effort to recover I hit the couch with some Netflix this week and saw an exceptional documentary featuring two bands I had never before listened to. �DiG!� (Interloper Films 2005), shot over the course of seven years, chronicles the story of two friends, Anton Newcombe of Brian Jonestown Massacre and Courtney Taylor of the Dandy Warhols, as they set out to create a music revolution in the face of the dollar driven music industry. Narrated by Courtney Taylor the film gives equal time each band�s story, The Dandy Warhols experiencing a fair amount of success abroad and the Brian Jonestown Massacre, while prolific, is challenged by many self installed roadblocks. The relationship between the bands is what makes this story interesting. While a degree of mutual respect remains throughout the story unfolds into a full-on rivalry and even a gentle death threat. This DVD also has the very cool zoom feature, when cued you can access additional footage. Fans of the rockumentary genre would be wise to pick it up regardless of whether or not you like the bands, Anton Newcombe�s tortured genius persona alone makes it worth it.
