Sad Dog Weekend Update
Don't Eat the Yellow Snow!!!
Sad Dog MySpace Profile Song of the Week: "Salt Truck" Eleni Mandell
We are accustomed to showcasing a tune from KC artists on our MySpace page, but with Mother Nature spitting snow and ice the last few weeks, this song off of Eleni's new album "Miracle of Five" seemed most fitting.

The Weary Boys and Donnie Walker Red @ DAVEY'S UPTOWN
Just got the good word on The Weary Boys from a friend up in Minneapolis who had the pleasure of checking them out on Wednesday night. He has discerning tastes but gave the seal of approval on their sound and show and mentioned that these boys from Austin, TX have a fiddler player resembling Charles Manson who appropriately "plays like mad". Not to mention they have shared bills with a hefty dose of some of my favorite artists – from Willie Nelson to Split Lip Rayfield. -di

It's a Monday night in the dead of winter but if there were ever a reason to get out on such a night this is it. It's a hard rock affair at The Hurricane tonight. Just like the old days….the really old days. Broken Teeth hails from Austin, TX but they aren't the usual suspects from the music city to the South. There's no denying the influence of AC/DC and their shows get the hair flying. Broken Teeth, features frontman extraordinaire Jason McMaster of Dangerous Toys.
Rock fans – this is your night to let it roll.

Behind The Scenes at ACL: Watch and Win
Visit www.austincitylimits.com, click on the "Fly Me to ACL" banner, watch the video and answer the trivia for your chance to win airfare for two to Austin, a two night hotel stay and your choice of any Austin City Limits taping.
I recently clued you in on a Lost Highway Records contest to win tickets to Lucinda Williams at Radio City Music Hall. If you recall, I have been on a contest-loosing streak most of my life and thought my day was due with the Lucinda contest. Nope! So now, I move onto the ACL contest. Will she come out a winner? Fingers are crossed. -jaq
DVD OF THE WEEK:
Peter Gabriel: Growing Up Live
"Peter Gabriel's critically acclaimed 2003 world tour is captured in all its glory for fans to enjoy. "Growing Up Live" chronicles the show over two days at the Filaforum in Milan. Directed by Grammy-nominated documentarian Hamish Hamilton, the show also features behind-the-scenes interviews with Gabriel and a bonus track of the titular tune." -Netflix
I haven't had a chance to view this doc but it comes highly recommended by a friend whose taste I trust. -jaq
JAQ & DI'S NOTES:
When You Wish Upon a Star
In the January 4-10, 2007 edition of The Pitch weekly, Jason Harper, for his Wayward Son section, "collected some new Year's wishes, predictions, fears and general future-oriented blather from people in and around the scene." The ladies, and Max, of Sad Dog put their paws together and came up with the following wishes: "A Cretin 66 reunion show; long-awaited recordings by Federation of Horsepower, Whiskey Boots and Pendergast; free instruments for everyone; more cowbell; a rock-and-roll dog park; good health to Kirk Rundstrom and peace, love and rock and roll for everyone." It seems that wishes do come true as we have received word this week that Federation of Horsepower, Whiskey Boots and Pendergast will be releasing albums over the next couple of months.
Pendergast will release "Between the Bottle and the Pulpit", Friday, March 2, 2007, with a full weekend of record release shows starting with a Friday in-store at Needmore discs then a hot rock show at Davey's Uptown with Brother Trucker and Dead Girls Ruin Everything.

Whiskey Boots: This dynamic duo, made up of Heather Lofflin (Diamond Heart Club, Honeybaby) and Amy Farrand (Shot Gun Idols, American Catastrophe, EIO, Sister Mary Rotten Crotch), touched base this week, and bless their ever-lovin' hearts, are sending us a promo copy of their new recording as we speak. You will have a full review once the disc hits the mailbox and we can tear ourselves away from the tunes long enough to write.
Federation of Horsepower: These boys know how to woo us with their in-your-face rock and roll. The highly anticipated "Stay Down" (Kafka the Dog Records) will be available in March. Along with the new album FOHP is in the process of shooting a video for their song "Hot Rails".
