Have to be brief. Sorry.


The Strange Boys | Greg Ashley's Medicine Fuck Dream | Tame...Tame And Quiet (Darkside Lounge)
Greg Ashley's Medicine Fuck Dream (some vulgar names on the list today) is a Gris Gris side project that continues in the same dark, psychedelic style of song-writing that has won Ashley comparisons to every celebrated tortured psych genius from the past forty years. The Strange Boys live in Austin now and their music has continued to evolve into a much more understated take on their sixties garage and soul fixation. Tame...Tame and Quiet are pretty different from the rest of this lineup with no obvious decade that you could point to for their inspiration, however that's also one of their many strengths.

NoMo Party (Zubar)
80's themed going away party for Zubar employee "Mo" who was instrumental in getting the Central Booking DJ's into Zubar as well as some of the better, hi-profile shows like Roxy Cottontail.

Richard Buckner | Six Parts Seven(Dan's Silver Leaf)
Richard Buckner is consistent.

Anal Cunt | My Son, My Executioner | The Crimson Veil | Hearts Grow Dim (Red Blood Club)
I can't believe A.C. will be twenty next year. Today I was reminded of their 1997 track, "No, We Don't Want To Do A Split Seven Inch With Your Stupid Fucking Band." Classic.

Popup | Black Heart Society (Club Dada)

did farah lose it on stage last night?

Oh my god! anal cunt is still around! --i saw them in 94 in san antonio at Wackys --i hate san antonio because no of the fun venues ever last

I think Greg Ashley is an example of slowly percolating cred/popularity simply due to longevity.
If you do something long enough, there will be enough sparsely-spaced gems in your ever-widening brim to garner some fan-base. I pretty much think he plays very mediocre psyche-throwback rock. Nothing special or particularly creative.

i saw anal cunt once in 97 in chicago. It was one of the few times where I did a "they usually have something good here" , and just showed up at the venue. It was quite a surprise. All I really remember was the singer going on for what felt like 10 minutes about how much he hated 311.

greg ashley's set was incredible. seriously, one of the better sets i've seen in a very very long time.

because of the weather and the venue and the thursday-ness, there weren't many people there but it was a killer show. hopefully he'll come through again fairly soon.

couldn't make the drive to dallas last night to catch Greg Ashley, anyone go? care to comment? A lot of stuff he does is very very good.
