Clutch, Bell Rays and Backyard Tire Fire @ THE GRANADA (Lawrence, KS)
$18; 7:30pm
The BellRays describe their sound as maximum rock and soul, while living up to their motto: "Blues is the Teacher –Punk is the Preacher."
Hailing from CA, they channel the sounds of 60's Motown yet pack a punch of solid riff led rock. Front-woman Lisa Kekaula has the stage prescence of Tina Turner and the soulful sound of Aretha. The BellRays "synthesize punk, R&B, funk and psychedelic rock with an undercurrent of gospel and the improvisational approach of jazz." – www.bellrays.com.
Their 2006 release "Have a Little Faith" made my top 10 albums of 2006. It is a powerhouse of soul, blues and rock; lifts my mood; kicks my ass; makes me drive fast; and never leaves me hanging when I need to turn it up to eleven and loose my mind in music. -jaq

Billy Joe Shaver and The Starkweather Boys @ KNUCKLEHEADS
7:30pm; $20 adv / $25 dos
If I really need to tell you people one more time about my love for Billy Joe Shaver something's not right. My favorite country songwriter for sure and I'm in good company cause Johnny Cash called him his "favorite songwriter" period. His biography is the saddest I've read. Despite a life full or tragedy Billy Joe still holds onto a spirit that that clearly indicates music is a fundamental part of his being. He's a music outlaw no doubt but lives life the same way. We weren't sure he was going to make it to Kansas City as recently he was involved in a shooting in Texas but it looks like the law hasn't taken hold just yet. Waylon Jennings recorded an album "Honky Tonk Heros" of Billy Joe's songs as many others have taken to recording his songs as well, including: Elvis Presley, Willie Nelson, George Jones, The Allman Brothers, David Allan Coe and Roy Acuff. But it's only Billy Joe that can really make the songs come to life with that big fat grin and his fancy jigs. Compadre Records
has assembled eighteen of Billy Joe Shaver's most popular tunes to create his Greatest Hits collection released in April 2007 and features two previously unreleased Shaver songs. –di

JAQ'S NOTES:
Future of Music Coalition: Rock the Net, "Musicians for Network Neutrality"
"Network Neutrality – or Net Neutrality – is the principle that preserves a free and open Internet. Net neutrality ensures that all users can access the content, or run the applications and devices of their choice. Rock the net is a nationwide coalition of musicians and labels that support net neutrality. We come together at this critical time to demonstrate to Congress and the FCC the music community's broad support for this principle. As musicians and entrepreneurs, we understand the importance of treating all websites equally – from the busiest online music store to the smallest blog. We urge congress to support network neutrality." – www.futureofmusic.org
Visit http://www.futureofmusic.org/rockthenet/AboutNN.cfm to learn more about Network Neutrality; view a full list of founding bands (bands include R.E.M., Pearl Jam, Calexico, John Doe, OK Go, Les Claypool and more); join the campaign; search for campaign's shows and events; learn more about the rock the net campaign; and access fan petition sign-up link.
DI'S NOTES:
Got news this week that Mike's Tavern has been sold. All bands remain on the schedule until the end of this month…all other band dates after that have been cancelled. No word yet on if the new owners will continue to provide a venue for music, but the word on the street doesn't sound good. The doors will be shut for awhile as the new owners "remodel" let's all say a little prayer that it doesn't go the way of the Grand Emporium. While Mike's Tavern live music scheduling over the last 10 months has been sporadic at best I will always hold some fond memories for shows that happened inside those walls. AC/DC female tribute band Hells Belles being one of the favorites. They packed the place and were simply a down right good time. Federation of Horsepower tore up that stage as did The Ramalamas may they rest in peace. My favorite Last Call Girls show and a couple of the best Golden Hearted Whores shows, yep, they happened at Mike's.? Not to mention it was less then a 7 minute drive from
my house to the bar. I wouldn't have ever called myself a regular but the feeling was always warm. Some day Sad Dog will figure out a way to host some of our favorite band photos. Both Jaq and I like to snap some from time to time. I'm not a talent but the luckiest shots seemed to happen at Mike's. Our Kansas City venues seem to continually thin but the music sure doesn't. Keep getting out there to support KC Live Music and Venues.
