You can read more about why I'm doing listings here. Long story short: This curated and decidedly non-comprehensive list contains nothin' but shows that I am going to/would go to if I had more time.
Gig of the week:
L CON [EP release!] (Phèdre / Isla Craig) / The Baby G 2019-10-06 (Sunday) [FB event]
In typical local style, there's something like four gigs I want to go to on Sunday, but the top-to-bottom arrangement of talent here puts this one ahead by a whisker.

Bandcamp corner:
- I was sad to miss the release show last week for the new collaborative album from Bill Gilliam, Glen Hall, and Joe Sorbara but having this album at hand has helped make up for it. Improvisations in opposition to stasis, with unexpected electroacoustic swerves.
- Meanwhile, speaking of opposing stasis, the newest epic from Doc Pickles. Tiger Bomb's Tea and Ices features no fewer than twenty-six tunes, with various voices, declamations, harangues and internal monologue snippets commenting on the cityscape. Found poetry that can make you laugh, if you're the sort of person who can identify with confessions like, "being self-aware is not my strongest suit."
