FRIDAY, MARCH 16
The Afterparty, The Volunteers and Justin Ripley @ THE BRICK
Far from classic country The Afterparty does evoke the spirit but takes the style through an other worldly dream-like journey. A couple weeks ago they played an entire night at Fred P. Otts. That's a lot of time to fill and they did it grandly, supremely knocking up the pace a bit for their second set. This is a band that seems to enjoy each other's company and rolls the crowd into their fold. Earlier this month, they were out on tour finishing up in Austin where they entered the studio to start laying down tracks for their next release. We can't wait to hear it!

The Hearers, The Family Curse and Andrew Ashby @ THE BRICK
It's rare we get a Hearers show as members of this Indie, experimental, folk and KC originated outfit are split between the California coast and the Midwest plains. Well warmed up from the Anodyne Showcase at SXSW, they will hit KC geared to deliver an always impressive and hot show! Their Anodyne Records Release "Don't Make the Captain Cry" is a gem to say the least. I defer to words from my friend Andrew Turner's Patchchord article when describing this album:
"The disc is like an old wooden box you've discovered in the walls of an empty house, maybe one that once belonged to a family that lived a few doors down from you for years, but to whom you never said a word. You've heard rumors of their tragedy, but never inquired – then or now. One night, after the house has been officially declared abandoned, you sneak in for a look and discover this small, locked box behind a section of pulled-away paneling. As you arrive within the confines of your own home, you look at this box and wonder where you have been. As the wood grain on the box shifts to and fro, you seem to see the face of a person sleeping…what the hell? You turn the box around, snap open the small brass lock on the front and are surprised by not what you see, but instead what you hear…"

TUESDAY, MARCH 20
Jon Dee Graham and The Silo's @ DAVEY'S UPTOWN
8:30pm; $10 adv / $12 dos
Badass Austin singer / songwriter, Jon Dee Graham with his smoke fueled gravel and steadfast wit tells his hard livin' tales unapologetically. At times stalwartly graceful nearly raising tears his shows are not without a good dose of hard hitting rock. Don't stop listening between songs because this man is a storyteller that evokes a belly laugh from everyone in the room. A consummate musician and always noted as a Sad Dog fav, we have been lucky lately getting about two visits from him per year and one never to be missed. His newest release "Full" is in stores now and can be purchased online at www.texasmusicroundup.com
The Silos are out in support of their recent release "Come On Like the Fast Lane" (Bloodshot Records).

The Paybacks, SSM, Federation of Horsepower and National Fire Theory @ THE HURRICANE
The ferocity of rock-n-roll will be alive and kicking ass at The Hurricane tonight. Two of Sad Dogs' greatest loves will be sharing a stage tonight. In the left corner, local boys Federation of Horsepower and in the right corner hailing from the Motor City – The Paybacks. If you have heard of neither, you haven't been paying attention and should put yourself in the corner. Former Paybacks bassist John Szymanski won't be entirely absent tonight as he is now playing with SSM, also on the bill. Wendy Case still holds reign on guitar and vocals and the highly entertaining lead guitarist Danny Mehtric will also be on set. They are a duo to be reckoned with until you add drummer Bill Hafer then you are just down for the count. Filling out the line-up is new bassist Dave Malash (of Detroit's The Sirens and Wolfbait). Straight up rock-n-roll. First came "Knock Loud", then came "Harder and Harder", and then "Love Not Reason" released in November of last year finishing up one badass trifecta
of recordings. Don't ask me to pick a favorite because The Paybacks have made it impossible. –di

Austin, TX artist Junior Brown wows audiences from the Grand Ole Opry to the rock-n-roll venues. Life magazine honored him as the only contemporary musician included in their "All Time Country Band," and Guitar Player magazine's 1994 "Best of..." listings made him their #1 lap steel player, #2 Country Artist, and #3 country album ("Guit With It"). Junior is also the inventor of his own guitar, one that combines the standard 6-string guitar and the steel guitar. He calls it the "guit-steel."

LOCAL NEWS:
We caught wind of some exciting news a couple months ago but to avoid being the spreader of rumors we decided to wait until it was official. KC record label Anodyne Records will be releasing the next record by an old favorite of ours, former SST artists the Meat Puppets. Mixing elements of punk, country and psychedelic rock we're eager to hear what the boys have been up to as this will be their first release since 2000's "Golden Lies" after an 11 year separation the brothers Kirkwood are performing again together. "Rise to Your Knees" will be released in June 2007 with a tour to follow. Stayed tuned for more news as it becomes available.

JAQ NOTES:
Our girl Jaq is in the mix of it in Austin, Tx this week for SXSW. I just got off the phone with her. She had a grand time last night at the Anodyne Showcase where the Meat Puppets where making their debut as Anodyne artists and playing together again for the first time in 11 years. The Hearers and the Architects were also performing and in Jaq's words, "it was a very good day for Kansas City". I hear *tail* of a Wayne Coyne sighting on the streets but to avoid steeling too much thunder you have to wait for the full story next week. –di
DI'S NOTES:
Now hold on a minute. Kansas City does a fairly decent job of keeping this live music lover entertained. Always a good mix of sounds and frequency of good shows is not a problem. Rarely however, do I find the need to be in two places at once, especially on a Tuesday night. Next Tuesday, March 20th presents a problem….one that has caused Jaq, me and a few others to swear more often than we might do on a regular basis. Jon Dee Graham will be playing at Davey's and The Paybacks will be playing at The Hurricane. Granted the venues are just a few miles away from each other, if that. However, both are being billed as early shows starting at 8:30pm. And both bands are ones that barring hospitalizing or very serious other commitments – we simply don't miss. In the grand scheme of the world's problems we recognize that this dilemma might seem a little ludicrous but in our simple little world of music it's one of the books – we're in a pickle. With every problem there is a solution and we ar
e fostering plans….it's not beneath us to beg for some coordination of times for the sake of our enjoyment. Stayed tuned for the results of our efforts. If we fail…might we suggest staying off the roads between 34th & Main and Westport on Tuesday night.
Part II
Well since Jaq is gone this week I thought I would do double duty. It'll be brief but there's stuff here you need to pay attention to. Sunday night I stayed up waaaaayyyy too late considering my friendly alarm clock was going to go off promptly at 5:30am. You will not hear me say this too often…it was totally f*ckin' worth it. I made my way to Fred P. Ott's to catch two bands, The Safes from Chicago (full disclosure - they are friends but I love 'em) and Mike D. Damron former frontman from I Can Lick Any Son of Bitch in the House (forward ICLASOBITH). Admittedly, I was surprised to see these two bands sharing a bill. I like the genre mix up but this one was a bit unusual. After seeing ICLASOBITH only once I was really disappointed when I heard they were splitting last Fall…the full mouth dropped open and shoulders fell - that actually happened when I read the news. A band that good should not split ways, but alas, I have no control of these things. I'm not so worried about things n
ow. They are good, damn good. They seem to enjoy our fine city so I reckon they'll be back and you'll all be there with me next time. We always list MySpace links so you can have listen…I highly recommend you do it this time. He's got a great band including Sam Henry formerly of The Wipers and Morgan Geer of Portland's Drunken Prayer. The night really would have been complete but Mike D. brought along another Portland band Kleveland. This three piece laid waste to the stage. Frontwoman Stephanie Smith is as magnetic as they come. Strong vocals were only shadowed by her love affair with the guitar. Fans of PJ Harvey or Joan Jett would be wise to check 'em out. The night was a triple threat.
