Otto’s Funhouse featuring Doug Stanhope
Monday, September 17, 2007
The Melody Inn
Otto hosts his Funhouse every third Monday of every month at the Melody Inn. This Monday was a little different. Showtime’s Doug Stanhope is on the road promoting his new DVD, “Doug Stanhope, No Refunds,” and Otto gave him the microphone for the whole evening.
I tuned in to the Bob and Tom Show that morning to hear Doug’s guest spot. It was funny and he certainly made me giggle. The description of his new haircut alone made me look forward to the show. The Melody Inn was packed full of laughing guys, with a liberal dose of women thrown in when I arrived.
I can’t quote any of the show, because the sentences would be heavily censored. Doug talked a lot about relationships and the awkwardness involved. Ironically one of his stories was about the first girl that he, ahem, “liked” and her name was Nora. I was standing in the short hallway at the front door. I was very close to the stage, when he went on his Nora riff, several guys were pointing at me. I’m sure Doug was wondering what that was all about.
But back to Otto, please. Otto has been entertaining us for years. I first met him when was playing guitar with his wildly popular band the Slammies. Otto (or Ricky as we called him in those days) worked at Gritzby’s (I maybe spelling that wrong) in the Bazaar at the Keystone at the Crossing and I worked at Benihana right across the parking lot. Ah, those were some fun days.
Otto Funhouse is a variety show; an open show geared to musicians, poets and acoustic musicians. Each performer gets a 10-minute slot to do their thing. Check out Otto’s MySpace page for details on signing up to perform.
The next Otto’s Funhouse at the Melody Inn is October 15. The variety show can also be found at the Tip Top Tavern on the first Tuesday’s of the month.

The Vibrators
Local’s Only
Tuesday, September 25, 2007
Any punk rocker worth their Doc Martens is a fan of the Vibrators. The band formed in 1976 -- which was lifetime ago. I think that band years are like dog years. One actual year equals seven in the music world.
It was great to finally see the band -- or what is left of it. Knox, the main songwriter and guitar player is the only original member.
I loved every second of the evening. I got to chat with Knox before the show started --meeting a punk rock idol with a charming British accent was almost too much for me. I did not help that when I tried to buy a button from their merch table, he gave me the button and tried to convince me to purchase a pair of thong panties with the Vibrator logo instead.
The crowd consisted of gracefully aging punk rockers and young skateboarders. I loved getting to chat with everyone. There are some great stories out there; I just need to get them on paper.
The Vibrators have a lengthy catalogue to draw from. They played some of my favorites; including the crowd sing-along Baby, Baby.
The totally adorable Gito Gito Hustlers from Japan opened the show.

Matt the Electrician
Tuesday, September 18, 2007
Indy Hostel
Matt the Electrician was a nice antidote to the raunchiness of the night before. Austin based Matt the Electrician is touring with singer-songwriter Seela, who has an amazing voice. The living room intimacy of the Hostel was perfect for this show. I really enjoyed seeing Matt with his well loved Gibson, finger picking the tunes and keeping time with his Chuck Taylor-ed feet.
His latest CD, one thing right, has found a home in my work CD player. It features amazingly poignant songs and harmonies.

Mom and I walked to the Hostel for Kevin Fitzpatrick’s gallery opening. I love having a gallery in my corner of the neighborhood. We ran in to Tammy Lieber, of page 12 when we got there. Quite appropriately for the Hostel the show featured his intricate drawings of ways to get from here to there.
You can check out Kevin’s work at the Hostel through the end of the month.

Broad Ripple Music Fest
Saturday, October 13, 2007
All over the greater-Broad Ripple area
I’m talking the night off for this event (thanks Lana!). This is the first year for the Broad Ripple Music Festival. The goal is to highlight local venues, local bands and area not-for-profit agencies. Each venue is matched up with an agency, and a portion of the profits go to the charity. If there is no cover charge at the venue their will be a chance to drop money in a hat. For instance, if you go to Luna and would like to donate to the featured agency there you may.
Each venue is operating independently, so no need for a wristband. Have fun and I’m sure I’ll see you out and about!.

Rock and Roll Weekend
First of all – Woo Hoo! The Indianapolis music world is profiled on www.nymag.com
The clearly brilliant Amy Zavatto highlighted Indy’s indie music spots.
http://nymag.com/travel/weekends/indianapolis/
Included are Radio Radio, Luna Music, Birdy’s, Red Key Tavern, Taste Café, the Monon Trail and the Broad Ripple Brew Pub. The related links sections mentions -- ME! http://nymag.com/travel/weekends/indianapolis/index5.html
Now, on to your weekend plans.
Friday (9/14), 19Clark25 and Chevy Downs at Spin
Saturday (9/15), Vulgar Boatmen at The Upper Room
Friday night at Spin (formerly the Patio)
6308 Guilford Ave
19Clark25 and Chevy Downs
I’m looking forward to seeing 19Clark25. They describe their sound as gutsy and swampy—mixing elements of country, blues, rock and punk. And, the band included the lovely Cara Walthers on bass.
I’ve never been disappointed by a Chevy Downs show, but then again I’ve never been disappointed by any band that John Byrne plays in. Chevy Downs plays good old rock and roll with a southern feel.
Here is what John has to say about the band:
“Yet another of my bands, Chevy Downs (www.myspace.com/chevydownsband), is playing its first Indianapolis show of 2007 at Spin nightclub (formerly The Patio) this Friday, September 14th. We are set to go on at 10:45, and as always, cover for Spin is $10.00.
“Chevy Downs is what the kids call an "Americana" or "Alt-Country" band, meaning that we play good singer-songwritery music with a bit of a twang, the occasional cowboy hat and an abundance of not-too-subtle nods to Bob Dylan, The Band, Neil Young, The Eagles, Gram Parsons, et al.
“The band is co-fronted by Tim Jones (www.myspace.com/timjonesmusic) and David Moore (www.myspace.com/davidmooremusic), who lead their former bands, Old Pike and Chamberlain, respectively, to great musical heights (major label record deals, hit singles, national tours, etc.) over the last decade and who continue to have great success in their solo careers. With members scattered all over the fruited plain (Los Angeles, Chicago, Nashville, Florida, Zionsville), we only gather a time or two a year for shows in the Circle City, so we hope you can make it.”
Saturday morning
Broad Ripple Farmers Market
Behind Broad Ripple High School
Stasia Demos and Brian Deer
I recently saw Stasia whip a room full of kids in to a frenzy with her made-for-whipping-kids-in-to-a-frenzy songs. She’s been known to whip adults in to fits also.
Brian Deer is celebrating the release of his latest CD, Found Objects.
Saturday night at The Upper Room
Above the Broad Ripple Steak House
929 E. Westfield Blvd
The Vulgar Boatmen
Here is what Dale Lawrence has to say about the show:
“The Vulgar Boatmen will be playing an acoustic show at the Upper
Room, in Broad Ripple, on Saturday September 15. It will be a
reunion show of sorts, as guitarists Dale Lawrence and Matt Speake
are joined by violist Kathy Kolata and harmonist Janas Hoyt,
replicating the band’s familiar early-90s lineup. Although acoustic
Boatmen sets are pretty regular occurrences these days in Chicago
and Bloomington, it has been several years since the band played a
sit-down set in Indy. Showtime is 10 pm.”
Here is what I have to say about Dale Lawrence and the Vulgar Boatmen:
Go to the show, I cannot imagine how great this will be. I’ve been a Dale fan ever since his Gizmos days. I’ll be working at the Red Key Saturday night, swing by and tell me how great the show was.
Have a lovely weekend,
Nora
