Monday Roundup #59

Someday this space might be mostly concert listings again, but for now Monday roundups might include a romp through the MFS archives, some bandcamp suggestions, nods to a few livestreams, and sundry community notes (email me if you have anything that needs broadcast in the latter category!).


Community notes:

  • It feels like live music is picking up steam. I've done some internal re-organization in my setup here to dedicate more space to show listings (the "shows announced" and "shows this week" sections will make their return — and the listings are now also back in the blog's sidebar) but the listings will be for now less comprehensive than they were pre-pandemic as I try and find a rhythm of digging around/keeping track of shows that works with my schedule.

Livestream nation:

  • Track Could Bend is back on Tuesday, with Zoë and Jonathan Pappo playing sets separately and together. They'll go live on Tuesday (March 1st), starting right here — and you can catch a preview of everything as well right now:
  • Chris Pruden celebrates Suns, a set of solo piano improvisations and compositions being released on Elastic Recordings, with an album release concert being livestreamed from the CMC on Saturday (March 5th). Yunjin Claire Lee opens the night.

Alex Lukashevsky/Luka Kuplowsky / The Tranzac (Southern Cross Lounge) 2022-03-08 (Tuesday – early!). $pwyc.

Pukeylips plays the music of Eucalyptus but in an entirely original way, a way that only Pukeylips can.") [more info]


Bandcamp corner:

  • Bandcamp Friday is back this week (March 4th), so get your list ready and support some folks. I'm gonna be grabbing the new Eric Chenaux, plus making a whirl through the new Rat-drifting releases.
