December shows and the New Year posted by Charlie Turner 2008 Dec 16th, a Tuesday SO everyone knows that An Albatross' tour got canceled. Bummer. So what? It's not like there isn't any music in this town. So we've got a lot of stuff yet this month, and January's filling up with all kinds of awesome bands! So tomorrow night we've got Jeff Landgraf doing his homespun harsh noise, Corvidae's first performance at Lemp since they were Dick Ford, Mellified Man's practice session before the Man at Arms show, and my own noise. No, MAN AT ARMS didn't cancel their show. They're back in town for the first time in over two years! Rejoice! Support includes the aforementioned Mellified Man, Little Arcadia, and Collinsville skool rock Weird Body Parts (no, they're not Bicycle Daze anymore). Then there's another local show featuring out favorite flyer-dude Josh O's new band, Robot Cuisine, and also Ryan (ex-Bicycle Daze)'s ambient electronics, and topped off with some warm and fuzzy Mellowhale. Saturday will be sweet and creamy like egg nog--unless you don't like egg nog, in which case it will be sweet and creamy like milkshakes. Sunday night is a pleasant evening for soft acoustic music, coffee, snacks, and friends re-uniting for the holidays. Music from Jim and Jordan, but they aren't doing Muscle Brain; rather, the bittersweet solo work of Jordan Knecht and Falsetto Boy. They'll be joined by Curtis "You, Crumbling" Tinsley and Luc Michalski of Sack Lunch. That'll keep you warm! And then on Tuesday the 23rd we have the legendary saxophonist BHOB RAINEY playing his annual holiday show at lemp. Bhob's level of skill and execution are transcendent. Come in from the cold and see the man who invented lowercase! Oh yeah. Look at the line-up for SxE New Year's. I know, right? See you there. [waffle bar after the show] IN the FORSEEABLE FUTURE: EL PASO HOT BUTTON returns Jan. 5th GAY BEAST rears its beautiful head on Jan. 10th ANIMAL CITY serves one helping of indie and three helpings of ROCK on Jan. 15th TATSUYA NAKATANI Returns and hosts an afternoon workshop on Jan. 17th BLOWUPNIHILIST and THE ABOMINABLE IRON SLOTH annihilate our helpless town on Jan. 31st |
Clean Up Day At LEMP posted by Mark Sarich 2008 Dec 5th, a Friday We're having a clean up paint up day at Lemp this Sunday December 7 starting at 11:00 am and running in the afternoon until we finish. Plan is to paint the walls, mop and generally clean up and organize. Hope to see you all! |
New Music @ LNAC posted by Jesse Windels 2008 Nov 9th, a Sunday
Nathaniel Bartlett will be performing Tues. night. His original compositions weave electronic and acoustic techniques to create highly nuanced aural soundscapes. Also, keep your ears to the ground. TATSUYA NAKATANI will be playing LNAC Sat, January 17th. He will be hosting a workshop on Free Improv percussion and extended techniques. |
VIKING MOSES, CUTTER Side Project, NATHANIEL BARTLETT, & More! posted by Charlie Turner 2008 Nov 4th, a Tuesday On Saturday the 8th, messianic DIY acoustic artist VIKING MOSES returns to Lemp once again! I'm not entirely sure, but I think this will be the third time in a year. We can't get enough of him! Saturday night is supposed to be cold, rainy, and dreary; come stay warm at Lemp with VIKING MOSES, Amanda Kofron, our friends from Springfield, IL, NEW MADRID (remeber them at the last Megafaun show?), and young STL singer/songwriter, Mellowhale! Check it out!
Then on Sunday is QUEENING, with one member of WORMS IN DIRT and one member of CUTTER! It'll be some hard-hitting male+female-vocal post-punk drum/guitar-duo songs. Sunday night at Lemp! Hyphens everywhere! This will also be the second Lemp performance of IL(L)-side post-post-rockers Bicycle Daze! Did I mention there will be hyphens? Tuesday the 11th features the return of NATHANIEL BARTLETT, master of the marimba! Come see one of the biggest instruments ever to be played at Lemp! But don't just come for that--this guy sets up avant-garde compositions in EIGHT CHANNEL STEREO. He's playing with four mallets while simultaneously controlling the sound manipulation and the stereo field with his feet. The setup is too genius to be ridiculous! This is something not to be missed! Also featured on this show is STL storytelling experimental folk music legend, ROBERT FISHBONE. In all seriousness, these will be unforgettable performances, and I strongly urge you to come out and see them! What's next? THE CONFORMISTS and THE WAYWARD on the 12th, BR'ER and CHARLIE on the 13th, and CAW! CAW! & EXERCISE on the 15th! |
