Snowden, Nomathmatics, Malajube and Five Star Crush @ RECORD BAR
"Snowden's music sounds like Interpol's dark momentum getting tripped up on the Arcade Fire's treacherous terrain - lacquered bolts of guitar judder over off-kilter percussion, and anomic vocals blear through the densely layered mix."-- Paste Magazine
Joining the bill are Canadian Rockers, Malajube and local bands Five Star Crush and Nomathmatics, a "Dj/Vj collective whose shows have no set structure with
music ranging from disco-punk, electro, indie and obscure '80s."

The Melismatics, The Honeydogs, Six II Chaos and We the Living @ THE HURRICANE
Our friend David Stropes of KC Americana Rock band Yellow No. 5 suggested we check out The Honeydogs. He writes, "The band is the Honeydogs and I stumbled across them a few years back, specifically the record 'Here's Luck', and was knocked out by it. I would describe them as Alt. Country with a splash of the Beatles and The Lemonheads there is that certain Sgt. Pepper feel, with the layers of sound that I sense when I listen to the Honeydogs."

JAQ NOTES:
Love Janis: Kansas City Repertory Theatre
Conceived, Adapted and Directed by Randal Myler
Inspired by the book "Love, Janis", written by her sister Laura Joplin, this rock and roll production is a fantastic portrait of the life of Janis Joplin, to say the least. Two actresses play the role of Janis, the first in the speaking role (Lena Kaminsky), telling her tale through monologues of letters written home from the time she first hit the San Francisco scene to her untimely death by drug overdose. This role portrays the human, tender, scared, lonely, jovial and almost childlike side of the 60's rock icon. The second role is the "singing" Janis, the stage Janis, the hard-edge, Southern Comfort swilling, no nonsense, strong woman that took the world by storm with a voice that has inspired female vocalists to this day. Two women alternate performances as the singing Janis, Kacee Clanton, and whoa-damn, Mary Bridget Davis. Luck was on my side as Mary was on deck the night of our performance. Her portrayal was so spot on I t hink M s. Mary must be channeling Janis herself. A few weeks back I stumbled upon a Supernauts show at Davey's Uptown. Mary Bridget hopped up on stage and laid down her version of "Cry Baby." Chills enveloped my body and the entire room stood mesmerized.
Sam Andrews, member of the original Big Brother and the Holding Company, provided Musical Direction and the production musicians making up Joplin bands Big Brother and the Holding Company and The Kozmic Blues Bands are all local musicians - Tim Braun of the Supernauts (guitarist), Zack Albetta (drums), Ken Lovern (keyboards), Damien "Woo" Salazar (bass), David Sturch (trumpet), Terry Swope (guitar) and Adam Wagner (Saxaphone).
Since "Cry Baby" has been the Janis song blowing me away lately, I added a video of Janis Joplin's performance to the Sad Dog Myspace page. www.myspace.com/saddogkc
This show has been extended through April 1st so don't miss your chance to check it out. I might even be up for an encore.

DI'S NOTES:
Since SXSW is on the horizon I've been reminiscing a bit and wishing I were making the trip this year. But alas, it's not going to be a reality. A couple years ago Jaq and I were racing show to show hoping to make it in the door to see our favorites. Following a Bobby Bare Jr. show we quickly scurried across town with fingers crossed that we'd pass through the doors of the Continental Club to see The Paybacks. The situation looked dour as we approached and we eagerly waited, and begged, to be bumped to the front of the line. Yeah right. While we waited we were digging the sounds of
