to a benefit show on Thursday, March
10. Long Low Rumble will play, also
. the ELECTRIC Mudd Puppies and
Cordy Lon, all this plus more at the
. Rockfish Palace.
4. The Indestructible Beat of Soweto.
Volume Two is out now, it's a
compilation record of South African
music most of which fits categorically
somewhere in between the power
dance music of folks like Fela or
Toure Kunda and the more pop sound
of King Sunny Ade. To American ears
(and feet) it is not necessarily DANCE
music but if you’ve a rhythmic bone it
will make you sway and slink and,
yes, smile.
5. A Winnebago with Massachusetts
plates pulled into town this past week,
inside was O-Positive, a band from
Boston. They came-to town without a
booking, but had some time off and
wanted to play, so Thursday night
thay did an acoustic set at The Grit
which packed the place. Tonight
(Wed.) they're at the 40 WATT.
Electric they pack a funky punch,
they'll play songs from their records
Only Breathing and Cloud Factory
plus new songs that just keep getting
better.
The list is longer, but I gotta catch a
ride. Boycott grapes. Give a dollar this
week. Don't worship.
