Check out their freshman release �The Dark Circles� on Anodyne Records.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6
The Paybacks, Charleyhorse and Federation of Horsepower @ MIKE�S TAVERN
There are live shows on the Sad Dog calendar that we wait for in great anticipation. The Paybacks heading back to KC definitely lives at the top. Hailing from the Motor City, this crew knows the meaning of straight on rock and roll and will leave you beggin� for more. Front woman and guitarist Wendy Case sits in my mind with some of the baddest and most empowering women in rock, Chrissy Hynde and Joan Jett in company. Add Dan Mehtric on screamin guitar, Bill Hafer bangin� the skins and John Szymanski on bass and all that�s left is you at the end of the show dripping in sweat and wondering when you will get your next fix. I first saw The Paybacks a few years back, was hooked at first note. I bought their first album �Knock Loud� which is still on the top of my list of albums I reach for when I want it hard and loud. With any great recording it leaves you wanting more and more and more and I finally got the love with their second and equally addicting second release �Harder and Hard
er�. Back out on the road for at least 25 confirmed dates, The Paybacks are givin� up more of the goods and introducing songs off of a new album, �Love Not Reason�, slated for release in November.
Oh, but that�s not all pups! There is a big hellraisin� heap of icing on the cake as you get the pleasure of experiencing that which is the balls out rock of KC�s own Federation of Horsepower. And, oh, we�re not finished yet. Charley Horse, featuring members of The Cramps, Throw Rag, and The Hunns, are on board as well.
So make plans to call in sick Thursday morn as you won�t want to miss a second of what this night has in store. -jaq

NEW RELEASES:
Bob Dylan �Modern Times� (Columbia Records, 2006)
Dylan�s 31st studio album and first in 5 years is in stores now and getting rave reviews� Rolling Stone Magazine giving it a 5 star rating and calling it a �masterwork�.
Dylan fans�the album is dirty blues and honky-tonk, conjuring up images of the troubadour travelin� the country through the ages in a dusty old bus, playin� smoke filled bars, tellin� his tales then movin� on down the road. And with Dylan as storyteller and his road band backing him up, �Modern Times� makes me want to pull an all-nighter with some good friends. This album is seen as the third release in a trilogy which includes �Time Out of Mind� and �Love and Theft�. -jaq

DI�S NOTES:
We all go through times when we are busy but the last couple weeks have been ridiculous for me. So, when I arrived home last night and found Netflix made a delivery I was more than a little happy to see it was a music documentary. I�m a sucker for �em. Yes, I miss VH1�s �Behind the Music�. In fact there is little I like more than a documentary or biography about the creative arts. I don�t even care if I like the music. It�s intriguing for me when the story unfolds and the artists succinctly explain the motivation and where their art comes from. I was especially pleased last night while watching �Kill Your Idols� released this week on DVD. The film focuses on the no wave era and the bands behind this little known movement of 70�s and early 80�s New York City. In line with punk rock ethos, these bands went one-step further abandoning music derived from blues, to create music that referenced nothing else. While using traditional rock-n-roll instruments many didn�t even consider what t
hey did music or entertainment. Rather releasing �short, brief outbursts of anti-music.� The film begins with interviews with the genre�s originators, Teenage Jesus & The Jerks, Suicide, Theoretical Girls, and Swan, followed by interviews with Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth who was significantly influenced by no wave. Interviews with newer artists, considering themselves inline with this earlier movement follows. Already informative the film becomes incredibly interesting when these earlier artists and the idols of many current day bands unleash their contempt for these artists of today and their lack of originality. Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs, Black Dice and Liar are just a few that take a cinematic tongue lashing. I didn�t dig the music featured but if you are a fan of music history it�s worth checking out.
Di�s Notes Part Deux:
There are a few things in life I�m very grateful for, in no particular order and foregoing the expected health and my peeps. Life would just not be cool for me without music, books, critters, Jamison Irish Whiskey and The Paybacks. I know we don�t usually double team pimping a show but I was feeling a little nauseated as I was about to release the Sad Dog email without expressing how very, very, very cool this band is. So instead of calling up Jaq and battling over all the reasons I should get to write about them and not her you are getting double encouragement tonight and heavy prodding to not miss this show. Their music somehow fits every mood and I never get too far without some Paybacks within easy reach. So there it is. Sure, it�s a week night but if you choose just a few nights a year to get out during the week make this one a priority! Truly a band where the music speaks for itself.
