Sad Dog Weekend Update
Dog Eats Dog
Sad Dog MySpace Profile Song of the Week: "4th of July" by Shooter Jennings
FRIDAY, MAY 11
Brave Combo @ DAVEY'S UPTOWN
9:30pm - $12 Advance / $15 DOS
"Brave Combo have long been enthusiastic ambassadors of modernized ethnic dance music long before the terms 'worldbeat' and 'world music' were in vogue. Their recordings generally include equal parts Eastern European, Latin influenced, and original zaniness". - iTunes
Brave Combo was voted "Best Denton Band" in the 2007 Denton Record Chronicle's "Best of Denton" Awards; they played Oktoberfest in the beloved American burg of Springfield on an episode of "The Simpsons" and their music displays a fascinating yin and yang mix of utterly and delightfully surreal, juxtaposed with perfect sense and wisdom. – Davey's Uptown
From what we hear you should wear your dancin' shoes tonight.

8pm; $15/$20

Service Industry Night
TUESDAY, MAY 15
Michele's Heavy-Duty Rock Party Birthday Bash @ DAVEY'S UPTOWN
8pm, $9 Advance / $12 DOS (Guaranteed Early Show)
Featuring: Nashville Pussy, Artimus Pyledriver and Three Bad Jacks
Tonight, it's the "Never to Old to Rock show!"
Nashville Pussy may be the most recognizable name on the bill but I think the real treat tonight is going to come in the form of Artimus Pyledriver. Hailing from Atlanta they give a sound described as "southern stomp-ass". A little metal, a little stoner rock and wholly Southern. Among their influences are some of my favorites including Kyuss, AC/DC, Motorhead and yes Skynrd! Every week as I sit and write Sad Dog I browse MySpace and let the music coming our way play as I type. This week I can't click away from the Artimus Pyledriver page. If you count yourself as a fan of the heavier side of music I suggest you head that way now. www.myspace.com/artimuspyledriver

THURSDAY, MAY 17
Shooter Jennings, Scott H. Biram and The Gaslights @ BEAUMONT CLUB
Son of Outlaw Legend Waylon Jennings, Shooter has a bit to live up to … but is holding his own. Although his debut album, "Put the O Back In County" less than impressed, his 2006 release "Electric Rodeo" made my top ten of 2007. Raw with the rock, southern style I might add, while tapping into the sound of the Outlaws who raised him, "Electric Rodeo" is a gem that will have you rockin' as well as slow dancin'.
On the bill with Shooter is the self-proclaimed "Dirty Old One Man Band" Scott H. Biram - And Bonus – KC's own rock n' country quartet, The Gaslights will show this Beaumont crowd exactly what our Midwest town has to offer. -jaq

JAQ'S NOTES:
Off to Omaha for work tonight pups, but I will be back this weekend to kick off a full week of live rock!
DI'S NOTES:
Maybe it's the lack of available time I've had to see shows lately that still has me on a high from my outing last Tuesday. I headed down to the Boozeday Tuesday Show @ The Brick with Federation of Horsepower and Austin's Honky. No, I'm quite certain it's the fierceness of the rock that assaulted the stage that has created this high. It's that kind of down and dirty rock show that wakes you up for days and was just the ticket to knock me out of my show going slump. Perfect bands, perfect line-up, awesome bar staff, good company, ears ringing, insides vibrating, just about my favorite kind of show. A trip to NYC for a wedding kept me from seeing the first two of Honky's appearances in their Kansas City triptych of sound but I'm going with the idea that I saw the best of the three. If you missed the show and now want to see what all the hype is about visit their MySpace page at www.myspace.com/honky. While their songs can take up residence in your head please note this is one of thos
e bands you need to experience live. We're guessing they are slightly fond of our fair city playing 3 shows inside 5 days indicating a sure bet they'll be back. Pay attention next time and don't miss these boys.
