I'm waking Blueline up from a long nap because there's some great haps coming up in Lexington and I wanted to make sure everyone was awares.
Firstly and foremostly...
Bullhorn is bringing experimental library-folk-sound collage duo THE BOOKS to Lexington on Monday, September 21! This promises to be one of the most memorable shows in a while. Not only because of the unique nature of The Books, whose strangely beautiful soundscapes are composed of non-traditional instrumentation as well as various found sounds (thrift store cassettes, self-help tapes), but because it's at The Miller House, Lexington's amazing modern architectural marvel. The show is a benefit for the Foundation for Advanced Architecture and will be a multi-media experience; stay tuned for more kickass details in the very near future, but go ahead and mark your calendars stat. (co-sponsored by You Ain't No Picasso, WRFL and Blueline)
Secondly, in light of recent news of the Dame's closing, there have been a couple recent articles about Lexington's changing music scene, namely the opening of two new music venues very soon (Buster's and Cosmic Charlie's, formerly known as Lynagh's Club).

Thirdly, there are some not-to-miss shows this weekend (sorry the details are so sparse):
