It’s not often that so many great events are happening on the same evening. Mark your calendar, get a babysitter, and pick show.

Lowercase m
Saturday, February 19, 2011
Noble Coffee & Tea Co.
933 Logan St.
Noblesville, IN
7:00, all-ages, non-smoking, $5.

The band, Lowercase m, features some of my favorite people – Broad Ripple’s coolest husband and wife team, Evan Finch and Grace Blanchard, join Brett Cantrell in dusting off Lowercase m. The band was the darling of coffeehouse and bars in the early ‘90s. The band features a fun mix of country, folk, gorgeous voices and humor.

Blue Stone Folk School is hosting the show in the delightful Noble Coffee & Tea located in charming downtown Noblesville. They serve beer, wine, and sweets in addition to coffee and tea.

Truth and Salvage Company with Chad Mills
Saturday, February 19, 2011
Radio Radio
1119 Prospect Street
Indianapolis IN
doors 8:00, 21+, non-smoking, $10

I love the story of Truth & Salvage Company formed, especially since it involves Indianapolis’ own Tim Jones. He was the talent booker at Hollywood’s famous Hotel Café and though casual late-night jam sessions they quickly discovered that they had heaps of band chemistry. It was there that Truth and Salvage was born.

The six-member band features four singer/songwriters, and they all have stories to tell. Their sound is a mix of rock, country and alternative with harmonies, badass guitar playing and good old fun evident in every song.

The last time I saw them play I was grinning and tapping my toes that whole time. 

Broad Ripple’s own Chad Mills is opening the show, and I heartily approve. Presale tickets are moving fast – and they’re only $8 if by ahead of time.

Manic Monday
Monday, February 21, 2010
The Rock Lobster
820 Broad Ripple Avenue
21+, 10:00

Monday always seems pretty darn manic to me. You can make it official on every third Monday of the month. In this case Manic Monday features ‘80s music – punk, new wave, surf and goth and the theme is: Pretty in Pink.

The show is hosted by DJs A-Squared Industries and DJ Action Jackson with special guests Kallioni nad Rachel Rubes. They will be celebrating the birthday of Naptown Roller Girl, Dora the Destroyer.

It sounds like a great way to jump into the week. There will be drink specials, prizes for the best dressed and lots of other fun.

Elvis Birthday Bash
Saturday, January 8, 2011
Locals Only
2449 East 56^th Street
Indianapolis, IN 46220
9:00 doors, show10:00 pm, 21+, $8.

Wayne Bertsch, cartoonist and promoter reminds us that, “ if the King were still alive, he’d be turning 76 this weekend. We wanted to bring together an event that showcases the diversity of his music. Elvis Presley was more than a rockabilly act. His music assembled elements of rock, gospel and R&B in ways that influenced almost every musician that came after him. I wanted to assemble a lineup that reflected the diverse sound that made Elvis a standout even amongst the other giants in the Sun records stable.”



Elvis Presley would dig the diverse lineup. The acts include ragtime-punk band, The Innocent Boys, and heartland rockers, Hero, Jr. This will be one of your last chances to catch the very talented John Orr (The Last Domino) before he moves to Austin, TX. Check out his amazing cover of the Smashing Pumpkin’s Muzzle on YouTube. Mr. Pumpkin, Billy Corrigan has given it a cyber thumbs up! You’ll find it by typing ‘last domino muzzle’ in the YouTube search box or visiting John’s Web site.

The Danny Thompson Trio continues their well-deserved run of headlining the Elvis Bash. The show is always fun and a great way to kick-off the musical new year.

Liz Janes
Saturday January 15, 2011
LUNA Music Midtown5202 N. College Ave
Indianapolis, IN 46220
4:00, free, all-ages

photo credit: Polina Osherov

Liz Janes is finishing a mini-tour of the northwest just a few blocks from her home base. Liz has a brand new record, Say Goodbye, her first since 2004. This record is her most personal, lush and warm. I am fascinated by Liz, her story and talent. She went from childhood piano recitals in suburban D.C.  to the ‘noise scene’ in Olympia, WA. While in Olympia she secretly started writing folk songs and put them on cassette. The lo-fi recordings made it into the hands of future husband, Mike Kaufmann, who played it for his pal, Sufjan Stevens.

One thing led to another and Liz recorded with Sufjan, joined the Asthmatic Kitty Records label and toured with several bands. Liz ducked out of the touring life to “raise kids the way that they needed to be raised,” and all of the things that make life sweeter.

She’s found her home in Indiana, saying she was “too west coast for the east coast, too east coast for the west coast but that the great state of Indiana, with proper fairy tale resolution, is just right.”

Make sure to catch her show in the intimate space of LUNA Music and welcome her back home.

Hal Studholme photography opening

January, 2011
Monon Coffee Company, back gallery
920 East Westfield Boulevard
Indianapolis, IN 46220-1718

Hal Studholme

Hal Studholme creates his art with cameras (the quirkier the better), computers, ink, paint and abandoned materials. He makes his Hoosier debut in the ‘back room gallery’ at the Monon Coffee Company in January.

Studholme prefers, “cheap cameras, broken cameras, bad cell phone cameras, toy cameras and cameras that I can drop in the mud and not worry much.” He was a doctoral student in religion and education at Columbia University when he discovered his penchant for visual art. “Nobody had any interest in what I had to say, except the studio art teacher. I had for a sculpture course I was taking on the side, so I dropped out so I could say what I have to say visually. I went back to school to study art. At an advanced age I became a student in the Fine Arts Program at The College of New Jersey in Trenton. I left there (without a degree) to become a preschool teacher in Golden Valley Minnesota. I consider being a toddler teacher a natural extension of a more formal art education.”

This show is Studholme’s Indianapolis debut – just a small sampling of collection. We look forward to seeing more of his work in the future. And if you haven’t been to the Monon Coffee Company, it is a cozy spot with excellent coffee and goodies and friendly folks. See you there!

Broad Ripple Gazette vol. 7, no 25

Enjoy the holiday season – and remember that independent music makes a great gift. Buy a CD, take in a concert, download a tune. It’s good for the winter blahs!

Reviews:
I did venture outside of our great neighborhood a couple of times last year to see music. I’m veering off course for this edition to tell you about them.

Kid Rock and Bon Jovi
July 30, 2010
Soldier Field, Chicago

Thanks to the generosity of CATH customer and music fan, Carla Proffitt and her brother, I got to attend a big rock show in the big city! It was one of those last minute plans that worked out wonderfully.
I’d never been to Solider Field and it was packed. This is one of the biggest shows I’ve ever seen and the crowd was huge - attendance hovered at 55,000. While I was excited to go to a show and kick around Chicago, I didn’t know how much I’d enjoy it!

We didn’t realize that Kid Rock was opening until we were on the road. I must admit the only things I knew about him was that he and Pamela Anderson jumped off of a yacht to celebrate their (short-lived) wedding vows, he was on the Bob & Tom Show and he’d had a #1 hit with, “All Summer Long.”
What I didn’t realize is how much I’d love his show! It was big goofy, giggling, sing-along fun. Kid Rock said something that I’ve known my whole life, but it was great to be reminded of, “blowing someone else’s candle out will not make yours burn any brighter.” I’ve been extra-mindful of that ever since. 

Bon Jovi was just as great and fun – who knew that I knew so many Bon Jovi songs?  I guess living in South Jersey for five years rubbed off a bit. It was a great night – the weather was perfect, it was fun to let my hair down and dance along we were able to walk back to the hotel. That’s how a hot summer night should be spent! 



Ryan Bingham
October 15, 2010
Austin City Limits Festival
Austin, Texas

Ever since I saw Ryan Bingham play at Birdy’s four years ago, I’ve been a big fan. Two years ago I got to stand on the stage of Ryan's ACLF set – which is almost as cool as standing in front of the stage at Birdy’s.. When he won a Grammy for "The Weary Kind (Theme From Crazy Heart)," this year I actually jumped up and down on my bed in excitement.

My friend Aaron Stroup thinks that my (very appropriate, proud, aunt-like) love of Ryan is a little obsessive and I have no idea what he’s talking about...the fact that I managed to snap about six zillion during my ten minutes in the photo pit means nothing. Really. 


Gogol Bordello
October 16, 2010
Austin City Limits Festival
Austin, Texas

Wow! I had no idea what to expect from Gogol Bordello, but kept hearing the buzz about them all over the festival. The crowd waiting to see them was fired up! The band is good old -fashioned dance-y world music gypsy punk fun. I was sorry to miss their show at the Vogue a few weeks later, but I hear they were just as fabulous!


Norah Jones
October 17, 2010
Austin City Limits Festival
Austin, Texas

I've been a fan of Norah Jones since her first record in 2001. There aren't many women named Nora/Norah between the ages of eight months and 88 years old. The beautiful and talented Norah Jones blew a lot of old lady dust off of the name.

I had a photo pass for the festival, which meant that I could stand in photo pit in front of the stage for the first three songs. I will admit that I closed my eyes while I was waiting for the show to start and pretending like the thousands of people chanting, "Norah, Norah, Norah" were calling for me. Pathetic, but true!

I saw Norah play right before Middletown at the Jazz Fest several years ago. She seems to have found her voice and style. Her set was amazing and her band was terrific. She does the name proud!

I miss Rusty! Now that News Café is closed I can’t pop in for a quick visit with Rusty. You can get a big Rusty Redenbacher fix at the Melody Inn at the Hip Hop Show.

Tonic Ball 9, featuring songs of the Beatles
Friday, November 19, 2010
Fountain Square Theatre/ Radio Radio
Fountain Square
7:00, $20, non-smoking
Tonic Gallery
New Day Meadery
free

The Tonic Ball and Tonic Gallery is one of Indianapolis’ most popular nights of music and art – I certainly know that it’s mine! The Tonic Gallery features works by some of the city’s most renowned visual artists – Douglas David, Susan Brewer, Kyle Ragsdale and my dad (he made an awesome bench from rescued church pews). The art work is sold in a limited silent auction, starting at $100 with a buy-it-now price of $400.

The Tonic Ball features over 30 bands all playing at least one Beatles song. I’ve been working really hard to make sure that none of the songs are duplicated. The ticket allows you to visit both venues and see as much music as you can. Radio Radio is 21+, but Fountain Square Theatre is all-ages and the over 21 crowd can still buy a drink at the bar – how cool is that?

For a complete line up of bands and other information visit: www.tonicindy.com
Tickets will be available at both LUNA locations by November 10 or you can purchase online now.

I can’t wait!

Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Holiday Show
Alice Chalmers ATSACIYJB, Neon Love Life, Rev. Peyton’s Big Damn Band
Friday, November 26, 2010
Vogue Theatre
6259 N. College Ave.
Indianapolis, IN 46220
$12 – advance, $15 – day of show, non-smoking, 21+

When I was in Austin last month I was having dinner with a friend – and by dinner, I mean whiskey, when I got a text from “Washboard” Breezy Peyton asking if Alice Chalmers could open for their holiday show. I shakily told my friend that the band was asked to play at the Vogue. He said, “Great! What band?” Umm, “the band I’m in.” I will totally admit to squealing and jumping up and down!

So, Alice Chalmers and The Stick a Cork in Your Jug Band will be kicking off the day-after Thanksgiving show and we couldn’t be more excited about it.

The all-woman jug band will be followed by the all-woman rockers, Neon Love Life. NLL’s Lindsay Manfredi and I were both at the Toad The Wet Sprocket show at the Vogue this summer. We independently “ran into” (stalking seems like such a harsh word) the band’s Glen Phillips in the alley behind the Vogue. I told Glen that Lindsay was in a punk band and that I was in a jug band. Glen told us, “they're closer than you think.” Now you can be the judge.

The main event of the evening will be, Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band. This will be their homecoming show. They’ve been on the road for months and having a wonderful time in Europe and the East Coast. I don’t have the words to explain how damn fun the band is. And I’m sure they’ll have some great stories.

See you there - I’ll be the one playing typewriter and grinning wildly.

Broad Ripple Gazette, vol 7, no 22

 first published in the Broad Ripple Gazette

Happy Anniversary gentle readers! The first Buzzing Around Town column was published on October 28, 2005. I can’t believe that five years have passed and that I haven’t missed a column – although there were times that both publisher, Alan Hague and I doubted that I’d manage to slide one in at the absolute last minute. Sorry Alan!

I’ve meet scores of amazing people in the last five years – and I think you’re all the bee’s knees! I appreciate everyone who has introduced themselves to me. I still blush and stammer, but I’m thrilled to meet you. I’ve written 125-ish columns in the last five years. All of that writing has been great practice for me. I’ve managed to find my writing voice and confidence. In early columns I spent a good deal of time apologizing for my age and lack of formal musical knowledge.

When the column first started I was writing on a wheezy desktop computer that took up most of my living room and was connected to the Internet via telephone line –when it worked. The first year the majority of my writing was done at a computer at Indy Hostel – thanks John. The next year I bought an iBook with a wireless connection. Too bad I didn’t have wireless at home. Many a column was sent late at night with my computer pressed up to the window at the News Café. I’m sure I surprised many last-call patrons leaving Moe and Johnny’s when they walked by and I was holding the computer at odd angles trying to catch the wireless connection.

I’ve graduated to a MacBook that hardly ever leaves my side – I don’t go as far as to sleep with it, that would be nuts! I keep it beside the bed. I also have a fancier camera, with a detachable lens, which allows me better access to photograph bands.

The five years of writing BAT has opened many doors for me. I now freelance for NUVO newsweekly and the national music magazine, Ghettoblaster. I vote each week on the Top Ten Live list that is published in Metromix. I still get a thrill when I see a stack of Broad Ripple Gazettes in the window of a business or catch a glimpse of someone reading one. I often hear that the Gazette is the best paper in town and I heartily agree.

At the Austin City Limits Festival in October

I look a little different now from the bee caricature above. In the last five years my hair has been longer and straighter and back. I now wear glasses – you can draw those in if you like.

I wish I had more time and could see every bit of music that is out there. For all of us at the Gazette, writing is a volunteer gig – one that I’m thrilled to have. I have the same jobs (yep, jobs, plural) that I had when the column started and I adore every one of them. I was promoted at Second Helpings three years ago; I’m now the director of operations for the food rescue, job-training and hunger relief agency. I love my once-a-month Sunday shift at Marigold, the wonderful clothing store next to Big Hat Books at the Broad Ripple Brew Pub. I’m still the waitress/cook at the iconic Red Key Tavern most Saturday nights and couldn’t be happier about it.

When people tell me there is nothing to do in Indianapolis I want to swat at them with a rolled up Gazette. My problem is choosing what to do. You can find art and music on almost every corner in Broad Ripple – isn’t it awesome! I’ll see you out and about. And thanks for reading. Seriously, thanks.


The New Christy Minstrels
Thursday, November 4
The Mansion at Oak Hill

5801 East 116th Street

Carmel, Indiana 46033
317-843-9850
7:30, dinner & concert, $45

Our own Greg O’Haver (Crossover, A Touch of Grass) is movin’ on up! He’s left the basement venue of the Corner Wine Bar and is now touring with the Grammy winning folk band, The New Christy Minstrels.
How Greg got there is a great story. He had auditioned for Randy Sparks (founder and leader of TNCM) in 1968 and came close to touring the Orient with Randy when Fats Johnson decided to join the tour and bumped Greg. Over 40 years later, a second audition in March of this year got Greg a spot in the band. Randy calls Greg,” …our newest, brightest star in the revived New Christy Minstrels.”

The New Christy Minstrels have an aggressive tour schedule. We re lucky enough that they are stopping in Carmel to play a show at The Mansion at Oak Hill in Carmel. It promises to be big folk fun. The ticket price includes dinner and the bragging rights that you know someone in the band.
