The Decatures at Dario Day, Sept. 28, 2013.

by Tim McMahan, Lazy-i.com

What to say about Dundee Day a.k.a. Dario Day Saturday? We passed the crowds gathered along Underwood Street to see tribute band Rock and Roll Suicide and proceeded to Dario’s, which boasted a slate of original bands as well as Dario’s gourmet cheeseburgers and pulled-pork sandwiches (not to mention the Belgian beer).

Only 30 or so people were standing around the tables in Dario’s cordoned off parking lot at around 6 p.m. On stage, a three-piece played grunge-infused hard rock complete with guitar solos. The shaggy blond lead singer/guitarist looked like a young Peter Frampton under his curly locks. I tend to shy away from mainstream rock acts, but I have to say these guys were pretty durn fun to listen to — if not a little green. It didn’t help matters that their drummer punctuated every number with a post-song drum fill best left for band practice.

It wasn’t until after their set that I discovered it was The Decatures. and only after I asked the sound guy. Here’s a tip, guys: Unless you’re a known commodity, tell the audience who you are at least a couple times during your set. Even if you only recognize your friends and family, you never know who might be in the audience.

Old Money at Dario Day, Sept. 28, 2013.

We hung out at Dario’s for dinner and beers and waited what seemed like an hour for Old Money to get set up. Old Money was described as “Satchel Grande lite,” which was right on, though their music leaned a little too close to “smooth jazz” territory. By the time we left, the crowd had nearly doubled to around 50 — pretty light compared to the last time we went to Dario Day and had to fight to get a table.

On the way home outside along Underwood, the crowd had ballooned. On stage the band was busy putting down a lousy version of a Bowie’s “Suffragette City.” Ah, how Omaha loves its cover bands…

* * *

A hot gig has sneaked up on us tonight at The Waiting Room. Drag City Records band Blues Control headlines a show that also features Detroit’s Jamaican Queens, Omaha punks Worried Mothers and Rake Kash (Lonnie Methe’s latest project). $7, 9 p.m.

The Growlers at Slowdown Jr., Sept. 26, 2013.

by Tim McMahan, Lazy-i.com

I’m looking over my notes from last night’s Burgerama Caravan showcase at Slowdown Jr. That’s right, sometimes I actually take notes at shows, usually when I’m bored or think of something that I want to remember to mention the next morning. Here’s what I wrote:

“The scene is very ‘hippie,’ very drug culture. I guess it’s the whole Southern California thing. Lots of people smoking dope outside. Tiny little pipes, big puffs of stink. Lots of leaf motif apparel. Lots of Charles Manson hair and tie dye.

“Is this what it was like in 1967, when the world was dropping out and protesting the war and wearing flowers in their hair? When I think of the ’60s in my mind I see it in grainy, slightly over-saturated color film, bright, vibrant colors and only the bluest sky and music that sounds like this.“

My co-pilot for the evening blamed The Growlers’ crowd for the hashy, hippie scene. It was the youngest crowd I’ve seen at a Slowdown show — or any rock show — in a long time, with only one familiar face in the crowd — a guy at least my age who I’d talked to at other shows and had run into at Homer’s before. We chatted in front of the stage before the headliner came on.

Together Pangea at Slowdown Jr., Sept. 26, 2013.

We both thought the highlight of the evening (or at least what we saw of it) had been Together Pangea. The four-piece played straight-up, edgy, garage rock with brazen hooks and smart, dirty choruses like “Too drunk to C**.” They were too good, too tight and well-polished, to call “garage rock.” Certainly no garage bands from around here sounded so well-rehearsed, every corner perfectly rounded.

The Cosmonauts at Slowdown Jr., Sept. 26, 2013.

They were followed by The Cosmonauts,  another finely honed punk band but this time with layers of hazy drone. They closed their set with a number that seemed to go on forever. By then I’d already moved from the side of the stage to a vacant booth in front of the soundboard and began tapping notes into my phone.

Behind me along the back wall was a virtual swap meet of merch, as if Burger Records had opened a pop-up store inside Slowdown. Maybe 20 different shirts hung from the wall, some with pot or drug references or crude drawings. The long table contained stacks of albums, CDs and cassettes, along with assorted other band junk like buttons and stickers. I wanted to buy a Pangea album but was told the only thing available was a cassette. I like cassettes and have a large collection of them as well as a top-quality TEAC tape deck, but the idea of paying $10 or whatever for a cassette didn’t thrill me and I ended up buying nothing.

Back outside in the beer garden I leaned against the fence by the locked entrance gate when two rather large women walked along the other side and pulled out one of those little chrome pipes. A member of one of the bands walked by and they offered him the pipe but he smiled and waved it off. “I can’t play when I’m high,” he said.

The Growlers came on before midnight looking like they just walked off stage at Woodstock or the 1967 Monterrey Jazz Festival or the Spahn Ranch. Big hair. Like the others, they were razor sharp. Frontman Brooks Nielsen, wearing overalls and a shirt that looked like pajama tops, sounded like Bob Dylan singing over Middle Eastern chant music. Also like Dylan, you couldn’t understand a word he was singing, but that was okay with their fans, a few of whom were mouthing the words along with Nielsen’s mumbling.

I love the idea of a record label taking their bands on the road. No doubt fans of one Burger Records band is familiar with the others, and it makes sense for everyone to travel together and share a backline for quick 15-minute swap outs between sets. I wondered why Saddle Creek hadn’t tried something like it during the label’s heyday. The closest I can remember was when Bright Eyes and The Faint shared a stage for a few shows (or at least one at Council Bluffs’ Mid-America Center).  It’s never too late.

* * *

After the bonanza of shows over the past two weeks, the weekend is looking light.

Tonight at fabulous O’Leaver’s Simon Joyner and The Ghosts co-headline with Iowa City’s Samuel Locke Ward Lo Fi Garbage Spectacular. $5, 9:30 p.m.

Also tonight, The Filter Kings opens for Denver’s Reno Divorce at The Sydney in Benson. $5, 10 p.m.

Saturday is Dundee Day and as per usual they’ve booked a lousy cover band for the evening beer garden. No matter because all the real action is taking place at Dario’s beer garden. Dario will start serving fine Belgium booze starting at noon along with pulled pork sandwiches and cheeseburgers.

Dario’s music starts at 5 p.m. and bands “include” No, I’m the Pilot, The Decatures, Old Money and Rock Paper Dynamite. No word on entrance fee but I think it was $5 last year. Always a good time.

Saturday night The Beat Seekers play at The Sydney with Fonzarellies and Greg Loftis. $5, 9 p.m.

And that’s it. If I missed anything, put it in the Comments section. Have a good weekend!

I was on the list and everything for last night’s Orenda Fink / Simon Joyner show and just plain didn’t make it and I feel guilty about that. Another super-early morning kept me out of the clubs. There are  trade-offs in life, it seems…

I have tomorrow off so there’s nothing stopping me from hitting the big Burgerama Caravan of Stars Tour 2013 at Slowdown Jr. tonight. Burger Records is a red hot DIY punk / indie/ noise label. The SF Weekly called the label “contingent somehow within and decidedly apart from the indie rock sphere, boasting followers from all walks of life and similarly branded offshoots springing up throughout the land.” I’ve read that three times and I still don’t know what it means.

Anyway, the label’s biggest stars are on the road together and have finally made it to Omaha. The headliner is California act The Growlers. They call their sound “Beach Goth,” which also happens to the be name of their limited edition cassette-only 2012 Burger release. Their last formal album came out on FatCat this year.

Also on tonight’s Burgerama fightcard: Cosomonauts, Together Pangea, Gap Dream, White Fang with Colleen Green, and The Memories. All for $13. Show starts at 8. Why go to a festival when the festival can come to you?

Check out the story of Burger Records:

And here’s some samples from tonight’s bands:

Also tonight, punk band The Vibrators return to The Brothers Lounge with Bullet Proof Hearts, and Officially Terminated. $5, 9 p.m.

In this week’s column, I get cold-called by Springfield, Missouri band The Gardenheads in the form of their new vinyl release Growing Season. Album of the year? Maybe, maybe.. You can read it in this week’s issue of The Reader or online right here.

Just in time for fall, Hell for Breakfast, the blog run by Orenda and Todd Fink, posted a recording of Orenda’s rendition of Bruce Springsteen’s “Nebraska” (embedded below). Orenda’s breathy coo on this grim lullaby could entice any pick-up driving sumbitch to go on a killing rampage…in a good way.

You’ll get a chance to hear Orenda sing it live tonight at fabulous O’Leaver’s.

Todd writes, from the HfB blog:

“On Wednesday Orenda will be playing (Springsteen’s) song “Nebraska” along with a bunch of new and old songs.  She’s letting me sit in on the drums. Our neighbor Greg Elsasser (from Capgun Coup, and No, i’m the Pilot) will be bowing the spooky-saw and playing bass. Christine Fink (O’s sister who recently moved here) and Pearl Boyd (Outlaw con Bandana) will be singing backups. And Orenda’s usual partner in crime, Ben Brodin, will be playing his tape delayed moody guitars.”

Also on the bill, the incomparable Simon Joyner (check out his one-on-one Hear Nebraska interview conducted at midtown meat house The French Bulldog) and Chicago’s Circuit des Yeux and duo Spires that in the Sunset Rise (that’s STITSR, which is very similar to TSITR). This one is $7 and starts at 9 p.m. sharp. Get there early.

* * *

Speaking of members of Azure Ray, yesterday Maria Taylor debuted her first song off upcoming Saddle Creek release Something About Knowing called “Up All Night,” and it’s a baby song (of course). The new record comes out Oct. 29.

* * *

Also happening tonight at The Brothers Lounge it’s the return of Lincoln’s Ron Wax (a.k.a. Ron Albertson) along with KC punkers Lazy and our own Video Ranger. $5, 9 p.m. Check out some Ron Wax below…

Yo La Tengo at The Waiting Room, Sept. 21, 2013.

by Tim McMahan, Lazy-i.com

When I got to The Waiting Room Saturday night at around 8:30 I thought the show was going to be a dud. Maybe 20 people were wandering around the club. A guy outside with connections told me pre-sales had been disappointing, especially considering that Yo La Tengo rarely plays such small venues anymore. Last time they came through (in 2009) they nearly sold out The Slowdown. In fact, the reason I got there early was to make sure I could snag two tickets and a table.

But within a half hour the place was nicely filled, and a line of people waiting to get in snaked out the door. I didn’t get numbers, but it felt like at least 250 were there to see what arguably is one of the most influential indie bands of the past 20 years. Ira Kaplan, Georgia Hubley and James McNew came on at about 9:20 and announced they were doing two sets, starting with a “quiet set” that included soothing renditions of soothing songs from albums that reached all the way back to 1993’s Painful LP as well as stuff off their latest, 2013’s Fade (Matador).

Don’t get me wrong, this was beautiful, lush, moving stuff, but after four or five songs, it all began to bleed together, and sure enough people started to get bored and turned their attention away from the stage and toward whoever they came with. Muted chatter slowly became a rolling roar that rose from the back of the room. This is the point in the review where I’d normally chastise the crowd, but I can’t blame them for getting restless.

After about 45 minutes of soothing stuff, the trio left the stage for about 20 minutes, than returned for the “loud set,” which was indeed more interesting, more upbeat, and loud enough to discourage casual chatter. You had to yell if you were going to cut through the dense noise generated by Ira’s guitar shredding. Again, the band played a fine selection from a variety of albums, including favorite “Tom Courtenay” off Electr-O-Pura. Nice stuff, but again, one after another after another — including extended Ira guitar solos — started to become dull indeed, and we ended up leaving five songs into the “loud” set.

I love Yo La Tengo. This is the third time I’ve seen them live. The best time was when they played Sokol Underground back in 2006. That set was broad and varied and Ira was reined in. Then there was that Slowdown show in ’09. That one felt loud and chaotic and while Ira was in full-on jam mode, the sheer overblown power of the set made it memorable. Last Saturday’s show was memorable too, but dividing the set into “quiet” and “loud” made for too much of one thing or another.

Eros and Eschaton at Slowdown Jr., Sept. 22, 2013.

I don’t know if it was because I still had YLT on my mind, but Eros and Eschaton kind of reminded me of that trio when they played at Slowdown Jr. last night. This was an early show — starting at 7 p.m. — which made it possible for me to actually attend. Why more shows — especially on Sunday or “school nights” — don’t start at 7 or 8 remains a mystery to me. It’s nice to be able to get home before 11 p.m.

In this case, I was home before 10 because E&E played a severely short set. The band consists of former It’s True frontman Adam Hawkins and his wife Katey Sleeveless (Kate Perdoni), along with a bassist and (I’m told) the drummer from It’s True. The It’s True influence was distinctive during the first half of the set, which sounded very much like material that would have fit in well on It’s True’s last album. The difference is the harmonies between Hawkins and Perdoni, along with a bit more heft in the arrangements.

Things got heavier in the second half of the set, as the band pulled away into the more brutal territory heard on their new Bar/None album. The musical violence reached a fever pitch when a song closed with what seemed like a full five minutes of battering guitar and feedback noise — a noise collage — that had the guy next to me holding his ears.

At their best, the band epitomizes the ’90s shoegaze of bands like Jesus and Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine, while the quieter numbers recall the Velvets or, yes, Yo La Tengo. The prime moment was the closing song, a hard, fuzzy droner that I wanted to go on and on, but instead closed too quickly, marking the end of a set that couldn’t have been more than 30 minutes (including five minutes of guitar-noise filler).

* * *

The week starts off strong tonight as Lincoln’s UUVVWWZ takes the stage at fabulous O’Leaver’s with Power Haunts (ex Eagle Seagull, ex Black Hundreds) and Dirty Talker. $5, 9:30 p.m.

Titus Andronicus is playing tonight at the Sweatshop Gallery, the space next door (south) of The Barley Street Tavern. Sweatshop’s performance space looks like it has a capacity of around 50 (including the band) which could make for tight quarters, especially if Titus draws the 75-100 or so who came to see them play at Sokol Underground last November.

I asked someone who went to the Parquet Courts show at Sweatshop this past June if the venue opened the overhead door in the back of the performance space. He said they didn’t, and as a result, the show was a tightly packed, sweaty mess, but he felt lucky to be there. I’m told Titus purposely booked small, non-traditional venues for this tour, which supports Local Business (2012, Matador), the same album they were supporting at that Sokol show. It’s worth the effort. Opening is NYC band “Lost Boy?” $10, 9 p.m.

Just up the street tonight Brother Ali returns to The Waiting Room. Ali is co-headlining with Immortal Technique. Also on the bill is Hasan Salaam & I Self Devine. $20, 9 p.m.

Also tonight over at fabulous O’Leaver’s Millions of Boys headlines with Kansas City’s The ACB’s and The SuperBytes. $5, 9:30 p.m.

Check out The ACB’s, below:

Lastly tonight, Hot Water Music frontman Chuck Ragan is doing a solo set at Slowdown Jr. with Matt Whipkey. $20, 9 p.m.

Saturday’s marquee event is the weekend’s marquee event: An Evening with Yo La Tengo at The Waiting Room. No opener, just Ira, Georgia and James (and co.) for an evening of music by one of the most influential indie bands in the last 20 years. $18, 9 p.m. See you there.

Also Saturday night, new band Hotlines has its stage debut at O’Leaver’s. Hotlines consists of heavy hitters from a number of local bands: Dereck Higgins, Amanda DeBoer Bartlett, Javid Dabistani and Luke Polipnick. Flamethrower opens. $5, 9:30 p.m.

Finally Sunday is a homecoming of sorts down at Slowdown Jr. Eros and Eschaton is the new project by Adam Hawkins of It’s True that also features his wife, Katey Sleeveless. I’ve heard the new album, Home Address for Civil War (2012 Bar/None), and can tell you if you loved It’s True, you’ll love this new incarnation that takes the same rich songwriting and covers it in dollops of shoe-gaze feedback. Opening is hot newcomers Twinsmith and the Omaha’s heartbreak king John Klemmensen and the The Party. This is an early show — 7 p.m. $8. Go!

Did I miss anything? Put it in the comments section. Have a fantastic weekend.

Joan of Arc at O’Leaver’s, Sept. 18, 2013.

by Tim McMahan, Lazy-i.com

As much as I like their music, I don’t keep up with Joan of Arc. I lost track of them after 2008’s Boo Human, which was (probably) the last time they came through Omaha. For last night’s prime set at O’Leaver’s the band consisted of frontman/guitarist Tim Kinsella with drummer Theo Katsaounis and bassist Bobby Burg.

Rounding out the 4-piece was vocalist Melina Ausikaitis who added a Winter’s Bone-style June Carter twang to Kinsella’s usual muted vocals. Ausikaitis — hands thrust in pockets, slouched in rolled up blue jeans, red Converse high-tops, well-worn T-shirt and suspenders — was strangely magnetic, especially singing two a cappella numbers while the band fiddled with their various tuning devices.

They played a few songs off their just-released EP Testimonium Songs, including the insanely intricate, “The Bird’s Nest Wrapped Around the Security Camera” — a stuttering stop-and-go of the most complex math equations. Just as vexing was “I’d Expect Babies Should Fly, If Not At Least Float Away” — both songs models of precision rhythms and perfect instrumental choreography.

It wasn’t all experiments in synchronicity. The band threw in a few straight-forward rock songs as well as a fine version of “Shown and Told” off what Kinsella called “The Album of the Year.”

“It’s all about timing, at least that’s what they say,” Kinsella said, referencing either his songs or his set list, which, he said, was a purposeful ebb-and-flow contrast between the simple and the complex.

The set ended with a duet version of “Life Force” (Cut each other’s strings) off Life Like, that Kinsella said was the exclamation point to an evening of music that was way too short for the 40 or so on hand.

Joan of Arc at O’Leaver’s, Sept. 18, 2013.

* * *

Busy busy busy slate of shows happening tonight.

The marquee I suppose is Best Coast at The Waiting Room. The band has a new album apparently produced by Jon Brion (Aimee Mann, Magnolia, Fiona Apple). I haven’t heard it, but based on this Hear Nebraska interview, the Brion connection helped push them away from their surf-rock style, which has me curious. Opening is LA band Bleached (Dead Oceans). $20 9 p.m.

Also tonight back at fabulous O’Leaver’s, Worried Mothers headlines a show that showcases their new album. Also on the bill are Fort Collins’ Sour Boy, Bitter Girl and Cooper Lakota Moon (Dim Light). $5, 9:30 p.m.

Meanwhile, the hot-and-bothered show of the evening is at Pageturners where Johnathan Rice (Jenny and Johnny) and Laura Burhenn (The Mynabirds) are doing a free show. I predict a crammed room, so if you’re going, get there early and start drinking (heavily). Starts at 10.

Joan of Arc circa 2013.

by Tim McMahan, Lazy-i.com

It’s been one of those weeks, which explains the odd timing of these posts. Needless to say I missed the last two nights of shows at The Waiting Room, but have no intention of missing tonight’s gig at O’Leaver’s.

Chicago indie legends Joan of Arc is headlining everyone’s favorite drunk tank on Saddle Creek Road. JoC’s centerpoint is  Tim Kinsella, who formed the band after his previous band, Cap’n Jazz, bit the dust in ’95. Joan of Arc is no stranger to Omaha. I last recall them playing The Waiting Room in aught 8.

Their music swings between indie rock and wonky experimental noise, with “songs” that can be…challenging. Still, these guys are definitely worth your $7 cover. Opening is Omaha’s own Thunder Power. The fun starts at 9:30.

It’s been too long since I’ve been to The Waiting Room. Fact is, lately the club just hasn’t booked many shows that interested me. Well, TWR is welcoming me back this week, starting with a sneaky little show going on tonight.

Portland band Typhoon plays dense, intricate, layered chamber rock that recalls bands like The National, Sufjan and good ol’ Bright Eyes. They tour with as many as 14 players including strings and horns, and have performed on Letterman.

I listened to their last two albums via Spotify and was impressed, though their music can be overly dramatic / dour / “important.” Lots of earnest songs about love and death interspersed with hand claps and group choruses.

They’ve been grouped in with Decemberists, which isn’t bad company, though Typhoon’s music isn’t nearly as hook-filled. Never heard of their label (Roll Call) either, but with the proliferation of online indie, anonymous labels are becoming commonplace. Tonight’s show is certainly worth your $10 if you’re into big-sound-production indie rock. Opening is Portland band Radiation City (or Rad City). Starts at 9.

Some Typhoon:

…and Radiation City:

Here’s how the rest of the week is shaping up for national touring shows. Could be lots of long nights and painful mornings:

Blitzen Trapper headlines w/ Oquoa at The Waiting room tomorrow night (Tuesday).

Joan of Arc Wednesday at O’Leaver’s (yep, Joan of Arc).

Best Coast and Bleached are at The Waiting Room Thursday.

Friggin’ Titus Andronicus is at tiny Sweatshop Gallery Friday night (How they gonna pull that one off?).

Brother Ali is at The Waiting Room Friday night.

Yo La Tengo at The Waiting Room Saturday.

What a week…

Tomorrow night (Saturday) again at fabulous O’Leaver’s, it’s the twang-rock stylings of Travelling Mercies with The Bottle Tops  (bluegrass family style) and Denell & I. $5, 9:30 p.m.

Also Saturday night, reggae/funk act Wild Belle plays at The Waiting Room with Satchel Grande and Saint Rich. $10, 9 p.m.

Finally Sunday, again at O’Leaver’s, it’s the pub’s “Sunday Social” series this time featuring So-So Sailors and Austin band One Hundred Flowers (check out a track below). Food starts at 4 (not sure what they’re serving yet; while supplies last);  music starts at 5. $5. What else you gonna do on Sunday afternoon (besides watch football)?

Did I forget anything? Put it in the comments section.

Have a good weekend.
