KEEP YOUR NOSE TO THE ROCK-N-ROLL GROUND !!!

FRIDAY, MAY 6
The Black Presidents, The Rosemantics, The Golden Hearted Whores, and The Architects @ EL TORREON
7:30pm, all ages
We�ll be heading to the El Torreon this evening to catch one of our KC favorites, The Golden Hearted Whores. The Whores have been called a lot of things but always fall rightly into the category of rock-n-roll, aligned in style with some of the greats�T. Rex, Iggy Pop, and Bowie. The masters of the setlist these boys are. It doesn�t take long for a new song to become a favorite and they always seem to line up the new and familiar just right while throwing in that �just right cover� for good measure. They do what any great band should, they always give the ladies something to shake to. Cody Wyoming (vocals, guitar) returned to the KC area in November of �03 and quickly enlisted KC music veteran Robbie Wagner (Pamper The Madman, Eric), Ben Ruth (Overstep, Grand Marquis) and Adam Stotts (Overstep, Lucky Graves) to fill out The Whores. We�d like to wish the boys luck as they head into the studio this week.

Brother Trucker w/ Outlaw Jim and the Whiskey Benders @ DAVEY�S UPTOWN
Country roots rockers Brother Trucker, hailing from Des Moines, IA, are most certainly the band to see for those who embrace the Americana genre. They have received rave reviews in No Depression Magazine and have had the pleasure of Bo Ramsey (Lucinda Williams, Greg Brown) lend his slide guitar prowess to their tune �For J� off of their 2003 release �Something Simple�. Lead singer/songwriter Andy Fleming�s intimate vocals and heartfelt lyrics of the down trodden are perfectly cupped by Mike Fitzpatrick�s guitar playing, John Colan�s rhythm, and the bass of Lyle Kevin Hogue.

The Caves, Anvil Chorus, and Hello Superworld @ THE BRICK
Tonight should get interesting as they try to fit my friend Andy Morton�s (Danger Bob) new project, the Lawrence based 17-piece Hello Superworld, on the stage at the Brick. Sometimes compared to Polyphonic Spree, obviously due to the size and energy of the group, Andy prefers to describe them as a �great big happy garage-rock pop� band. I have not had the chance to check em� out, but man, I am insanely curious. -jaq

RELEASES:
Heavy Trash �Heavy Trash� Released April 19, 2005
Jon Spencer and Matt Verta-Ray are shellin� out the �now sound of rock-a-billy�the perfect soundtrack for boozy all-night throw downs, pettin� parties, and psychedelic fright shows� �Yep Roc Records. That sounds about on cue to what I envision happening once Jon Spencer got his hands on Rock-A-Billy. This is a purchase I can�t pass up based on Jon Spencer�s projects and collaborations such as The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Boss Hog, and a disc that should have a place in everyone�s cd collection, The Blues Explosion and R.L. Burnside �A Ass Pocket of Whiskey�. -jaq

JAQ�S NOTES:
Well, it�s that time of year again when I roll into my fit of shameless self-promotion.
As most of you know, I am a glutton for punishment, so to keep true to myself, I agreed to take on yet another year and 60 + bands, by joining the team that will bring you Wakarusa Music and Camping Festival 2005 (June 18, 19, and 20, Clinton State Park, Lawrence, KS). Now pups, I know this isn�t everyone�s thing, but I�m bustin� my hump for this event and I feel the need to give a shout out to all the Sad Dog�s that find this right up their alley. This event most definitely appeals to the folks who are into the jam thang. However, I want to fill you in on the Americana factor that Wakarusa has to offer. This year we have:
Wilco (Out on the road after the Grammy win for Ghost), Calexico, Neko Case (Bloodshot Records� Americana Songstress), Son Volt (Back with a hot new line-up and a new release), Split Lip Rayfield (Closed the fest last year, and will once again, with one of the most hell-raisin� shows to date), as well as Hackensaw Boys, The Gourds, Martin Sexton, Junior Brown, Old Crow Medicine Show, Truckstop Honeymoon, Jeff and Vida Band, Drakkar Sauna, and Arthur Dodge and the Horsefeathers. Yes, it�s a camping festival, but it�s not mandatory to camp to enjoy these bands. We have day passes available, we have hotel package deals, and we offer shuttles to and from town. So take a visit to www.wakarusa.com and check it out for yourselves. Wakarusa is blast and provides the perfect excuse to spend some time in the great outdoors.

DI�S NOTES:
Kansas City�s �The Official Rock and Roll Radio Show�, 2-3pm, on 90.1FM KKFI www.kkfi.org
No matter what my Sunday schedule (read: couch bound or chores) brings, I always try to make time for �The Official Rock-n-Roll Radio Show�. When I first started listening, it was hosted by Gary and Alegra Cloud (both formerly of KC�s Boot Hill). Lately, my Sad Dog partner in crime Jauqui and our good friend Bill Sandahl (SOL Productions/Donkey Show) have joined Gary in studio�learning the ropes, spinning their favorites and givin� the highlights off the Sad Dog calendar. I encourage you to tune in and catch the sound of some of the bands we tell you about every week. Let�s be honest our words can only go so far and what it really comes down to is hearing the music. It�s been a regular music discovery avenue for me. Whether it be some new CD to pick up or pointing me in a direction towards a local band I haven�t yet seen. They deliver the goods and often times with humorous and insightful rock-n-roll commentary and from time to time an in-studio guest appearance�.you never know who might show up. In an effort to build the local music library at �The Official Rock-n-Roll Radio Show� we�d like to encourage local KC bands to submit CDs to add to the catalog. The hosts often play bands with a show in the coming week or shows they�ve just seen. While many of the bands you read about in Sad Dog are played on the show already the catalog is not yet full. Email us at
sad-dog@att.net and we�ll let you know if your CD is absent.
