break out your eastern european roots kids!

Yes, i know slavic-chic when out in '62 - but it's coming back in a big way! And on the forefront of this craze are A Hawk and a Hacksaw - Check out their one-man-band + violin act. I know we've all seen it before, the old one-man playing the drums and accordion + violin act, but really, this is some crazy stuff. The drummer accordion guy (jeremy, ex-neutral milk hotel) straps an arsenal of music making equiptment on himself and then proceeds to wail with his amped-up accordion something that your great great great great grandfather would have gladly tapped his toe to. The skill of the violinist (heather, ex-foma) pushes the aforementioned wall of sound upward and spins it around until it falls over and lands right on you. bam.
A Hawk and a Hacksaw !

Accompanied by The Ever Green - this is a show you should check out.

In other news.............The Liars Friday and New River Blues on Saturday. You are guaranteed a dancing good time with both.

The break is over and the schedule is picking up. Thursday, the wacky drew danburry visits at the bean accompanied by ten seconds to lift off. here's a video. Seth Horan is coming January 25th. Have a listen with iTunes...a download would be nice though. Oh well - do it. February 4th the Rio Grande - a whole lot of music. Some out of towners and some locals, all to benefit the theater.
