The Live And Local review

Film School
with Prussia and Velveteen Rabbit
Magic Stick
July 24, 2008


Early September of 2007
the culture city news HQ [my house]
me prepping for "NEW MUSIC TUESDAY"

i was checking all the wonderful music that was coming out on that Tuesday on that September day until i check in on the my space page for the San Francisco-based indie rock band "Film School" i check it and i fell in love with there sound witch remind me of the all fave shoe gazing band "My Bloody Valentine"

and i saw they had a Detroit show on the horizon, But it was in Pontiac at the Pike Room at the Crofoot rats and it is a little bit far too far, so i did not go.

rewind almost ten months later and the show i was going to see back on October 30 play close to the the HQ of this blog sight and was no way in was going to spik this show despite
late breaking news on the TV

the show which start a little bit around 11 PM was a very cool sonic sounding gig with the wonderful film back drop that goes great which there crunching guitars and hunting vocals between lead singer Greg Bertens and Bass player Lorelei Plotczyk[who is a very cool person.] as they played alot of song from there latest album "Hideout" they came soo good live.

They do remind me a little bit of "My Bloody Valentine" with there sound and some body told me that the sound remind them off "Sonic Youth" with there noise distortion with i see that.

Now they got not one but two good local opener, velveteen rabbit played first [altohght i miss about a 1/3 of it because i came in late] they sound real good with great vocals from there lead singer and i like how they mix the Violin in the music and it really sound good near the end.

Also playing there was the was the band i mention a few weeks ago when they sing to the Common Cloud Records label for there released of there new Album "Dear Emily, Best Wishes, Molly" and it was the band Prussia and this wonderful three member band was warm up for there released as they play a good set songs including the lead off single of there new album "Supreme Beging"

So Overall it was a good night of indie music in the culture city and if "My Bloody Valentine" don't do a Detroit reunion show in the near distance further, then last night headliners "Film School" Will be OK

END

DIVORCE ITALIAN STYLE
(Italy/1961- directed by Pietro Germi)

Baron Cefalù (the brilliant Marcello Mastroianni) longs to marry his nubile cousin Angela (Stefania Sandrelli of The Conformist), but one obstacle stands in his way: his fawning wife, Rosalia (Daniela Rocca). His solution? Since divorce is illegal, he hatches a plan to lure Roslaia into the arms of another and then murder her in a justifiable effort to “save his honor.” Pietro Germi’s hilarious satire of Sicilian male-chauvinist culture won the 1962 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, though it was originally conceived as a drama until it became apparent that the absurdity lurking at the story’s core was a bitterly funny comedy in disguise. (104 min.)

The Anvil is Leaving the Hard Lesions by end of the year



The Hard Lessions
From L to R: The Anvil, Ko Ko Louise, Gin


Late breaking news as i write this, the brand New Metrotimes is already out on the street and will appear any minutes now online at metrotimes.com

but, in a posting on the Metrotimes Music Blag Blog

it look like the drummer for the Hard Lesions Christophe Zajac-Denek (aka The Anvil) is planning to relocate to the West Coast by the end of this year, there fore leaving the hard lesions by the end of the year

So The Anvil will be behind the drum kit from now until the end of the year so they will play this Saturday Night at the Crofoot in Pontiac this Saturday to celebrate the released of B&G Sides on CD

Lead singer Augie Viccochi, told the metrotimes “"[Christophe] will be playing with us for the next several months, so nothing is immediate by any means. But it definitely will be a transitional time for us. Everything is totally amicable, of course, and we've all had a great time playing together. But Christophe's moving onto a new chapter in his life, although everything's still somewhat uncertain at the moment."

SO the big question for the further will the "Hard Lesions" be a three members or will it be just Ko and Augie as a two pieced as they will go into the studio after Ko and Augie get married in August for a new album which they have start writhing and it will be produce by Electric Six's Zach Shipps

It will all be in the metrotimes with the "Hard Lessons on the cover
in print an on-line.

NEW MUSIC TUESDAY - -WEEK 29 [2008]

Today is Tuesday, July 22nd and it was on this day in 1999 that music equipment belonging to the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion was stolen in Vancouver B.C. two weeks after a slimalr thief when Sonic youth vintage and customized gear was stolen in Near by Orange County, Calif.

Those two as alone with the thief of music gear of Cibo Matto around the same time lead to highting awareness of protecting you gear wield on tour, thank god we have not have any stolne gear alter scene then.

and i want to make a correction to some thing i mention on this blog sight Marky Ramone[who have a birthday last week] was the last of the original member of the "The Ramones" still with us.

Well after a little bit of double checking, it turn out he was not a original member of the pioneering punk band, he was a replacement for there original drummer Tommy Ramone who is still alive today at the age of 59, he was the drummer from 1974 to 1978 when he left the drum kit to handle the band management and co-productce their fourth album, "Road to Ruin" and was replace by Marky Ramone from 1979 to there last gig in 1996.

Just to set the record streaght

And just last last week
a pause for the Ramones
"Gabba gabba hey"


And now all today new music on the birthday of Rufus Wainwright[35 and also born in 1973.], HBK Shawn Michaels [43 and still Wrestling], Music singer, songwriter, guitarist, audio engineer and music journalist Steve Albini [46], comedian and Former SNL cast members David Spade [44], and one of the best female foreign actress out there Franka Potente is 34, if you don't know what film you remember her that made her a star, it this film:

What is "Run Lola Run"

You are Correct as Alex Trebek would say on Jeopardy! who turn 68 and still hosting Jeopardy! the last 24 years even on

MY BROTHER IS AN ONLY CHILD

A smash hit in Italy, My Brother is an Only Child reunites director Luchetti with the screenwriters of his acclaimed The Best of Youth. Set in a small town in the 1960s and 70s, it’s the story of two brothers who want to change the world – one as a prime mover in the local Communist Party, the other as a Fascist. What begins as a simple tale of sibling rivalry becomes an indelible portrait of the social upheavals of those turbulent times, as well as an unexpected love story. An intensely satisfying cinematic work about dreams and disillusionments, My Brother harks back to the exuberance of the early classics by Bellochio and Bertolucci.

And playing on the Saturday Double Creaher
feather at 3:00 PM on Saturday


THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD

These sequels to the 1957 classic The 7th Voyage of Sinbad both feature fantastic creatures from special-effects wizard Ray Harryhausen. In The Golden Voyage of Sinbad, the fearless sailor (played by John Phillip Law) reconstructs a golden map that leads him to strange lands and amazing adventures. (105 min.)

SINBAD AND THE EYE OF THE TIGER

Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger finds our intrepid captain (Patrick Wayne) saddled with the task of restoring back into human form a prince who’s been transformed into a baboon just before his coronation day. Harryhausen’s last film in the Sinbad cycle was nearly two years in production, and looks great on the big, big screen! (113 min.)
