SUMMARY:Minus the Bear / Twin Tigers / As Tall As Lions
URL;VALUE=URI:http://www.lawrence.com/events/2009/nov/23/34939/
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Minus the Bear play math-rock gone pop in the vein of The Dismemberment Plan or Pele. The Seattle-based group presents polished\, shrewdly arranged songs with wacky names like "Hey\, Wanna Throw Up? Get Me Naked" and plenty of ear-candy choruses and dance-happy disco beats. The group recently released a new single called "Into the Mirror\," and they'll be debuting material from their forthcoming fourth album.

DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:WIN TICKETS to this show!\n\nLawrence native Ashley Ray has been hustling her way through the Nashville machine in hopes of catching the kind of break that could put her in the company of her idols. The sassy songwriter pens would-be contemporary country hits for blue-collar\, beer-drinkin' crowds who also dig on acts like Dierks Bentley and Cross Canadian Ragweed. She recently released a new single called "Dirt Cheap." Check out our interview with Ashley Ray.

DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Laura Veirs composed her new album "July Flame" mostly in odd tunings on her “crappy nylon-string guitar” (though her Les Paul electric guitar\, banjo\, and piano also figured in) in the barn behind her house in Portland\, Ore. The album is a relatively stripped-down folk record highlighting Veirs’ masterful finger picking guitar and confident vocals.

DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:A new release from Danny Pound will be toasted Saturday night with a complete live play-through by the full Danny Pound Band. \n\nWith a decade of experience in the local music scene\, Pound is the kind of songwriter that we should feel lucky to call our own. Since splitting with indie outfit Vitreous Humor\, Pound has been reincarnated as the ghost of Gram Parsons —a bar-burning troubadour with a country love affair and a rock and roll heart. Equally entertaining as a solo performer and with his band\, Pound splits his time between melancholy originals and would-be-hits lost in the backroads of the Nashville machine.

SUMMARY:The Wilders Holiday Hoedown
URL;VALUE=URI:http://www.lawrence.com/events/2009/dec/05/35465/
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:This is not just another show\, it's a bit like a Grand Ole Opry show for the holidays!  In what's quickly become an annual tradition\, several of Lawrence's premier string bands skewer holiday musics past and present. If you like bluegrass\, you already know about local phenoms The Wilders. If you're pretty sure you don't like bluegrass\, this is truly one band that could make you a quick convert. These Walnut Valley Festival favorites have the ability to set a stage aflame in a jiffy with fiddle numbers and hot doses of formative-years country (Hank Williams\, Jimmy Rogers\, Carter Family). They also write some mean tunes of their own on their latest disc "Someone's Got to Pay."\n\nThe Midday Ramblers favor the golden-era bluegrass songbook (Bill Monroe\, Flatt & Scruggs\, Ralph Stanley) but are no less capable of getting a crowd hootin' and hollerin' and slappin' a little ass. The Ramblers serve it up in the old Opry format: one mic\, nice suits\, smooth harmonies and zero cussin.' Besides their unique interpretations of traditional faves like "John Hardy" and "Katy Cline\," the band plays a number of originals and some instrumentals that walk the line between oldgrass and newgrass. Check out our podcast preview of their new album.\n\nOn the heels of their Louvin Brothers tribute record "Wars and Tornadoes\," Drakkar Sauna presents "20009" — a return to established Sauna subplots like spears\, space\, and old people. The music is less old-timey and more present-timey\, rife with blaring trumpets\, barroom piano tinkling\, regal harmonies\, and sing-along melodies. The band introduces the album themselves with this podcast preview.\n\nJudging by their song content\, you wouldn’t want to let the women of MAW anywhere near your kids\, husbands\, or liquor cabinet. The local old-timey quintet sings about drug abuse\, adultery\, murder\, hoboing\, opium-smoking\, Sterno-drinking\, sticking their fingers in babies’ eyes\, and other unsavory things on their long-in-the-works debut album “Advice for the Young and Foolish.” Check out our podcast preview of the album here. In addition to writing their own songs\, MAW mines the vaults of traditional music for fan favorites like "Cluck Old Hen." Some of the members hardly knew more than three chords when they started the band three years ago\, but they’ve developed into a slick-pickin’ quintet in the tradition of the Carter Family.

His meandering holiday tunes are good for the spirits\, a crucial respite from Mannheim Steamroller and overly jolly renditions of "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer." Slick prefers the "Winter Wonderland" angle\, with a few of his own Golden Greats\, and of course your requests. Dodge sat with us for a preview of his show.
