FRIDAY, AUGUST 5
The Dark Circles @ MOLLOY BROS.
Congratulations to Steve Tulipana and Shawn Sherrill who have taken over Molloy Bros. in Old Westport. Rumor has it that the name will stay the same until an October Grand Opening in which the new name, Record Bar, will hang high above 1020 Westport Road. We always welcome a new live music venue to KC and I don�t see these boys disappointing us. So join us tonight in celebration as the doors open under new ownership with KC�s own The Dark Circles kickin� off the first night of live music and perhaps Steve and Shawn will round off the eve by spinnin� some tunes.

Buffalo Saints @ RECYCLED SOUNDS
In-store CD Release Party @ 4pm

Joe Ely w/ Hayes Carill @ KNUCKLEHEADS SALOON
$20 Advance/$25 Door
Ok my friends, there is still time to get your paws on an advance ticket to see the amazing Joe Ely. It has been much to long since he has made his way back to KC for a solo performance. The last time I saw him play solo was at that venue I miss so much called the Grand Emporium. Well, he�s back now baby and I hope to see many familiar faces next to me. Hailing from Austin, TX, Joe is �the� Texas Country Rocker, and is often on the same bill with the Jersey Boss himself. He has a true Texas country sound that�s not watered down, but instead, fueled by a punk rock sensibility, which garnered him a spot on tour with the Clash. He has an epic style of writing that puts you right in the pocket of the lives of his characters. He is part of the Mexican-American All Star Band �Los Super Seven� featuring Freddy Fender, David Hidalgo and Cesar Rosas of Los Lobos, guest Doug Sahm, and many, many more. I recently caught him at the Uptown Theater for a Song Writers night that featured Lyle Lovett, Guy Clark, John Hiatt, and of course, Joe Ely. Wow, what a night. Joe is a man of many styles and makes you feel like you just walked into a Mexican Fiesta on a steaming hot day and were handed the best margarita in town. How could you miss that? -jaq

SUNDAY, AUGUST 7
The Golden Hearted Whores, and Invincible Czars (Austin) @ FRED P. OTTS
Up close and personal on the P. Otts �stage� is just about the best way to catch a Whores show. The boys have been recording a CD this summer and a couple weeks back Cody Wyoming (lead vocals, guitar) played me the first three, almost finished, cuts. And I thought the EP he did on his own in �04 was great. Sunday night the boys will delight us with a new song, which at least one member was heard saying, �is our best yet�. Each of their songs seems to be a favorite for someone in the crowd and the couple, oh so perfectly chosen covers they lay out each show will make this another great night at P. Otts. The Invincible Czars out in support of their newly released debut studio CD �Gods of Convenience� have a style a bit difficult to explain, a lil� polka-rock-jazz outfit. Looks like Austin is about to unleash some �weird rock� in these parts. -di

NEW RELEASE:
Buffalo Saints �Walking The Dead�
The big CD Release Party was last weekend at Davey�s, and in a fit of amnesia I completely spaced off this show, which was on my list of shows not to miss. Luckily I got my paws on the disc. The music of the Buffalo Saints is right up my alley feeding me that country rock/Americana sound that I often crave and usually find streaming from my car speakers. It is always a thrill to find it right outside my front door. �Walking The Dead� fits the bill as it varies from song to song in its interpretation of the Americana sound. They have no problem with the straight -forward country rock as is obvious on the title track �Walking The Dead� and �50/50�. They have great knack for the melodic Americana (�You Leave First, I�ll Leave Last� and �Are You A Friend of Mine�) smackin� a bit of that Whiskeytown sound that I love and seem to draw comparisons much too often. I think my favorite track on the CD is �Off Her Rocker�. Not that it stands out from the rest in quality, but more for its Tucson sound you might find spilling off of a Calexico disc. I have really been drawn to this groove lately as it conjures up romantic visions of a border town, cowboys, and would be most fitting in a film, narrated by Sam Shepherd. Thom Hoskins (Vocals, Guitar, and Harmonica) uses the voice god gave him, keeping it smooth and natural with no hint of force or imitation. Thom along with Ryan Johnson (Drums and Percussion), Mike Alexander (Guitar) and Nate Harold (Bass, Organ and Vocals), have put together an album that leaves me liking it more with every listen.

GO OUT AND GET IT:
Architects �Keys To The Building�
OK, OK, I know I am a bit behind! I should not have neglected this recording for so long. I have not yet had the chance to check out the Architects' live show and this is what usually fuels me to buy a disc. There is always that one band whose shows constantly conflicts with my schedule. Boys, I will see you soon I promise!! But thanks to Roach
bringin� in an Architects tune to play on the Official Rock and Roll Radio Show, I heard a little and wanted more. As for the disc, lovin� the sound of straight on rock mixed with a healthy dose of R&B. I have to say it�all you Black Crowes fans out there better pick up �Keys To The Building�. Although I draw the comparison to the Crowes, the Architects definitely add their own style, making the music a little thicker and a bit heavier. Nothing wrong with that! Thank you John Hulston for supplying me with some great tunes. Pups, head to the Anodyne Records website to sample the Architects and some other great KC bands as well. -jaq

JAQ�S NOTES:
Hustle and Flow (Paramount/MTV)
Just go see it!! Until yesterday, I had not heard about this Sundance Film Festival hit, which by the way, broke Sundance history with a $16 million dollar acquisition by Paramount/MTV. Whoa, am I happy I was enticed to get to the theater. This urban drama takes place in the heat of Memphis and tells the tale of Djay, a pimpin�, drug-dealin�, hustler turned rapper, the women he keeps and an unlikely bunch who together find a way out of the hustle and mundane. The acting is phenomenal and the storyline raw and human, both heart wrenching and hilarious at the same time. I read on a comment sheet on the Cinemark website that the soundtrack should have a supporting role title. I do agree. Not one to have rap albums filling the CD shelf, I will have to get out and get me
some Hustle and Flow, if for nothing else, the life and times of Djay rap �It�s Hard Out Here for a Pimp�. Visit www.hustleandflow.com for more info and to sample the soundtrack. Thanks T- for getting me movin�!

DI�S NOTES:
I walk to work everyday. As of late, my walks have started near 6:30am�getting in early as I prepare for an event I have coming up in September. Most mornings are fairly uneventful, hardly a soul on the street and I�m left to my own pace and thoughts often before my first cup of joe and still a bit cloudy. I shake up my route depending on my mood and how late of a start I�ve gotten. Today, I took the quick one, cutting through the grounds of the neighborhood youth detention center. It�s usually quiet on the streets that early but today I heard the faint sound of the harmonica. Sure enough as I rounded the corner of the youth detention center parking lot it became louder and louder and I finally focused in on the point of the source. A gentleman who appeared in his mid-50�s was sitting in his truck with stereo cranked waking the day better than any ole� rooster. A dirty blues number over the speakers and him rockin� out in the driver�s seat in all his glory. I don�t blame him it was a groovin� little number. As I walked by he shouted out, �I need to get to work but do you hear that, do you hear that?� (belly laugh ensues). Still rockin� out he adds, �oooo ya�, (more belly laughing) and he sings along � �I got an itch but I don�t know where to scratch�. �Oh yeaaaAAHHHH!� As I made my path beyond his vehicle with a big old grin on my face and a shake in my step I imagined he probably sat there, late for work or not, until that song was finished. Now why don�t we all start our day like that�.?
