Holy crap, has it ever been a crazy month. All of us here in the office have been busy slaving away on other projects and haven't quite had the time to go to any shows as of late. Sadly, we thought we were a shoo-in for the Cat Power show at the Vogue Theatre, but because we're still, in the eyes of upper level management, a small-time blog, we were unceremoniously denied access and because of that, all we've got is a review of Cat Power's latest album Jukebox, penned by local musician Pearce Donnelly, below. At the very least, it's a pretty good fucking review. I apologize for the lack of content lately, but if you're willing to stay with us, we promise nothing short of excellence within a few short months.
A lot's happened within the past little while. Local pop-rock stallions Empire Alley are all set to release their first full-length album (and had commissioned yours truly to help in shooting their promo materials), and if all goes according to plan, we've got live reviews of The Blow, Daniel Johnston and The Last Scene coming up in our near future. As always, we're doing it for you guys, the fans. After all, we all have jobs where we spend eight hours a day shitting money. We do what we do for the love of it, so call us up if you want to cuddle. Especially if you're hot.
Anyway, this is just so you all know we're not dead or dying in any way, shape or form. We're just hibernating for the time being, so we can scare the shit out of the pilgrims when we wake and feed on the blood of the living. So fuck procrastination and fuck you guys all buggering off to some other site. We're back, and we're here to stay.
Empire Alley play their CD release party with Broken Condom Babies and Calcutta Crime Spree tomorrow night, April 12th, 2008 at the Cambrian Hall on Main and 17th. Doors at 8 pm.
See you all in a week.
