super sweet Butchers video

Totally awesome video of Lexington band The Butchers' song "Soda Pop Soda." Video by Case Mahan (visit his blog here and other videos here).

The Butchers are playing this Friday, November 13 at Natasha's with Partly Cloudy (proceeds from the $20 show benefit Partly Cloudy's upcoming tour...if you don't want to swing that, you can catch The Butchers November 27 at Lower 48.). You wanna see this band.

In related news, Case (Street Gnar) played a kickass set to about 25 people in the woods this weekend...hooked up to a generator on the front porch of a cabin just outside the Red River Gorge. Reggae/samba beats. Everyone Lives Everyone Wins and Jovantaes also played wicked jams...awesomely weird times on one of the most magical pieces of land I've ever been on. My deep love for Kentucky reaffirmed once again.

Street Gnar will be opening for experimental psych-folk Wooden Wand at Al's Bar November 21. Of interest to me, Wooden Wand signed with Young God Records (label owned by Michael Gira of the majorly and equally epic SWANS and ANGELS OF LIGHT) for his next release, and is set to start recording early next year. (You can read a bit more about that here.)
