Old 97's and more!

We have another great weekend planned for you! And we tried to arrange for some sweet beach weather. Don't forget your sunscreen.

Have you seen Indiscretion? The last time we saw them they played a gig alongside a bunch of other bands. Indiscretion had the opening slot and everyone - all those seasoned and jaded music people - just stood there gaping. And then there was dancing. This band is just so DANG GOOD. You will go home and tell everyone you know about them. So young, so mindblowing, so taking the month of July out with a bang. Thursday night @ 10. $8

And then, happy August! On Friday, August 1st, we have the Old Silver Band and Sputnik.The Old Silver Band gained an enthusiastic fan base of all ages and shared the stage with the likes of Leon Russell, Soulive, The Slip, Gordon Stone, Sara Bareilles, Hot Buttered Rum, State Radio, Naughty by Nature and the Roots. This summer the brothers, Matt and John Beninghof, had the good fortune of performing with Charles Walton at their weekly gigs in Woods Hole. It became apparent after only a few shows that a) drums equal more women on the dance floor b) Charles is a NASTY drummer c) the women on the dance floor love Charles. And with that simple conclusion, a new formation of The Old Silver Band was born. Clearly they have their priorities in line.

Sputnik is a NYC/Cape Cod based band led by Genie Morrow (Longwave, the Sensate Lovers). They combine dreamy vocals, ambient guitar effects, trumpet, keyboards and accordion to create a joyful, summery blend of straight ahead pop, with irresistible melodies. If there was a way to record what a summer night on the dunes sounds like, this band is it.

Oh such a buzz about Saturday's Old 97's show! Not just the buzz around town, either. The New Yorker said "Old 97's have been occupying a valuable sliver near the border of alternative country and power pop for the better part of a decade. With their last record, 'Drag It Up,' in 2004, it seemed as though they might move. Dark and sometimes muted, it found the band grappling with maturity, mortality, and even its own musical future—the lead singer and principal songwriter, Rhett Miller, had recorded an excellent solo album before 'Drag It Up,' and he added another one just after. 'Blame It on Gravity' (New West), the band's new album, represents a full resupply of its most attractive quality—its energy." We can't wait to see them, and it sounds like many of you can't either.

Old 97's with Sleepercar, Saturday 8/2, 10pm $22

On Sunday we have the oft covered but never duplicated, Incredible Casuals. It's just not summer without a Sunday afternoon at Cahoon Hollow listening to the Casuals and eating oysters. If a series of symbiotic events can be a landmark, this is it.
4pm $10

Your favorite beach awaits, so come on in - the water's fine. The mudslides are also very fine.
