Posted Sat February 18, 2012

Dr. Dre’s birthday is right around the corner and we’re excited to announce another “Dre Day” celebration at The Groove!

There will be lots of give-aways, a Dr. Dre “The Chronic” photo booth, malt liquor flowin’ like waterfalls (for those 21+) and an incredible live performance by the G.E.D. Soul Records All-Stars (a first-ever combo of members from DeRobert & The Half-Truths and the Coolin’ System), who will be playing instrumental versions of Dre classics off of “The Chronic”, “Doggy Style” and “The Chronic 2001”!!

So strap on your Compton hat, your locs and come celebrate with us — Doctor’s orders!!

The Groove – 6pm

A Weekend in The Basement

Posted Fri February 17, 2012

Typically I don’t point out show recommendations in the blog because if it’s listed in the right sidebar, it’s considered a show worth attending. In direct contradiction of that statement, I will now specifically endorse two weekend shows taking place at The Basement.

Tonight, Caitlin Rose will be headlining with Buffalo Clover and Evan P. Donohue in support. This is noteworthy for a number of reasons. 1) Caitlin Rose won’t be playing at venues this size for long. She’s already taken on The Ryman and continues to tour relentlessly. Consider this a special treat. 2) Long time Evan P Donohue collaborator Mike Kavouras will be playing his last show with the band tonight as he departs for New York. While I’m sure Mr. Donohue will find a worthy replacement you gotta assume he’s going to put on an extra special show to properly send his friend off into the world.

Tomorrow, Saturday the 18th, will be the record release celebration for By Lightning!. Portions of the record, Left Hand, Right Hand, has made their way out into the world via free downloads, previews and podcasts. If that weren’t reason enough to come out they’ll also be playing with Glossary and Cortney Tidwell – two acts that are, rightfully, known for putting on a helluva live show themselves.

If neither of those shows float your boat there are plenty of other options this weekend that will likely be right up your alley. As always, if I missed a listing please drop a line to make sure it is included.
