Good thing it's so hot. This way we can pretend we're in Jamaica when Barrington Levy comes tonight. We've got rum. We've got Barrington. It's going to be a perfect night with reggae's Mellow Canary. Barrington Levy is the man - renowned as the original singer of the dancehall era, inspiring imitators en-route. Come share show him some love.
You know how we dig Apollo Sunshine, right? If there was a wall of staff picks, where we could have bands sit on little shelves for you to pick up and take home, they'd be sitting on it. The New York Times said "Bouncy 60's-style melodies crack wide open, breaking into outbursts of pummeling and feedback before jumping back into the tune. It's all neatly and cleverly plotted, but with a looming chaos that's anything but nostalgic." Yeah, what they said.
Drug Rug's opening. They rock.
On Saturday we've got the sweet, sweet sounds of Jenny Dee and the Deelinquents. Boston music fans will recognize Jen D?Angora (a/k/a Jenny Dee) as the singer/guitarist in garage stalwarts The Downbeat 5 as well as punk/pop darlings The Dents. The Boston Phoenix said ?There isn't a music on earth that better suits D'Angora's voice than girl-group-era R&B, straight-up, and that's what she's singing here - with bonus points for writing songs that hold their own next to the classics.?
Sunday's a double whammy with the Casuals at 4pm ("At a time when folks don't seem to care about music anymore, this oughtta be just the ticket." Chandler Travis) and King Yellowman at 9pm. You know King Yellowman. You love King Yellowman. You know he's a top-selling artist in Jamaica and abroad and he has toured Nigeria, Peru, Sweden, Italy, Germany, England, France, Kenya and Cahoon Hollow Beach. We should have t-shirts made.
Speaking of t-shirts! (nice segue, eh?)Have you been to our new store in South Wellfleet (aka SWellfleet aka SoWo although the Wo doesn't make sense but since when does that matter)? It's, if we may say so, nothing short of stunning. Packed with grooviness (including Clarke Marty), it's air conditioned and it's right off the highway. So if you forgot that special something for the dog sitter, we've got you covered. Stop in and say hi.
