- Thanksgiving Extravaganza w/ Shemale Fiesta and Goldenrod at Charlie's. Truth be told, I don't know if this band is pronounced "Shemale" as in rhymes-with-tamale, or "Shemale" as in a frightening man-girl creature. I don't think it matters. Come watch Mark Evans take his shirt off and writhe around on the floor and sing "Spottieottiedopalicious." Goldenrod will bring their R&B dance jams to the party too.
(Black) Friday November 27
- The Butchers and Speech Boys at The Hive Art Haus & Salon. The Hive, Lexington's most adorable little beauty salon (on Deweese St, near Short and Elm Tree), is now regularly hosting live music & DJ dance parties. The Butchers = lo-fi 90s-style pop punk of the highest degree. Speech Boys = one part Bedtime/one part Tiny Fights = recipe for greatness? (honestly haven't heard 'em)
- Englishman and Clifton Keller at Al's Bar- two of Lexington's finest songwriters and a little bourbon should warm up your Friday night. Al's is slowly becoming one of my favorite draught beer dispensaries - their selection isn't big because it doesn't have to be. They realize all you need is 2-3 really solid craft brew selections and cheap PBR.
Saturday, November 28
- Ben Sollee and Daniel Martin Moore at Red Mile Round Barn (benefit for Institute 193). Two of NPR's favorite Kentuckians. Indie cello magic (Sollee) and folksy heartstring-tuggers (Moore) should make for a lovely evening at the Round Barn. $12 in adv/$15 at the door.
- Same as it Ever Was (Talking Heads Tribute) at Cosmic Charlie's. You might know by now that tribute bands aren't typically my forte, but these guys rule. Best dance party in town. Seriously, who out there doesn't like the Talking Heads?? Bring them to me. Or better yet, bring them to Charlie's Saturday and show them the light.
- High Water Marks and ATTEMPT at Al's Bar. High Water Marks is the band formed by Apples in Stereo drummer Hilarie Sidney and her husband Per Ole Bratset. ATTEMPT = Trevor Tremaine's solo project (with occasional guests?). Really good stuff.
- Rakadu Gypsy Dancers at Natasha's Bistro. Sexy, to be sure...yet somehow...family appropriate? As in, it might be something you AND your mom could enjoy together. Or maybe I'm just thinking it's something me and my mom could enjoy together. Anyway.
- Coralee and the Townies at Lynagh's Pub. Americana twinged rock songs fronted by the lovely and talented Corey Wilson and backed by her rockin' band.
