Cassavettes tonight!!

Sorry for the late update.... Hopefully you had already seen these guys listed on the calendar, and made plans to come join us tonight. There are free tickets in the usual places around town. I'm bringing some more down to the Fishmonger Cafe in Woods Hole this morning if the Coffee O's are gone.

From http://www.myspace.com/cassavettes:


A BRIEF HISTORYDoes hailing from Texas automatically brand you an "alt-country" band when you leave? Such was the dilemma three Texan friends faced after reuniting in Boston, adding a local Bostonian, and taking the name CASSAVETTES. But after three years, three albums, an armful of awards, and energetic shows with The Allman Brothers, Kings of Leon, and Dr. Dog, just to name a few, does it really matter what people label your music?
Known for energetic, powerful live shows that crackle with the electricity of The Replacements, Old 97s, and The Rolling Stones, Cassavettes (pronounced kass-uh-vets) has turned more than a few heads, locally and beyond -- scooping up “Best Local Band” in the Boston Phoenix reader’s poll, nabbing a Boston Music Award nod for “Outstanding Americana Act,” and making a splash at South By Southwest 2007 and 2008 in Austin, Texas, the Midpoint Music Festival 2007 in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the Dewey Beach Music Conference 2008 in Dewey Beach, Delaware.
Extensive touring from the northeast to Nashville and back to their native Texas, as well as hometown gigs headlining The Paradise Rock Club and Middle East Downstairs, helped the group solidify a live persona, which was captured on the recent live album, "Animal Friends." Now, Cassavettes are bringing that raw energy to the studio with Dave Minehan (Paul Westerberg; The Neighborhoods) and Todd Thibaud at the helm. The new record is due out in March 2009.
Crossbreeding the sounds of The Band and Neil Young with contemporary influences like Superdrag, Nada Surf, and Ryan Adams, the band mixes the sound into a blend of rock, folk, country, and blues. While they’ve drawn comparisons to everyone from The Byrds to Tom Petty to Young himself, the Weekly Dig called Cassavettes’ music difficult to “pin down” -- and that’s exactly how the band likes it. Cassavettes blurs genres musically, while keeping the storytelling element prominent in folk and country lyrics. The Boston Globe said this gives Cassavettes "charm to spare."

Sweet Melissa with Chris "Stovall" Brown TONIGHT

There are still some free tickets out there! Melissa and Chris always put on a great show!!

Pumpkin Head Ted TONIGHT!

We are happy to welcome our friends from Pumpkin Head Ted back tonight!

Here's a description from their myspace page ( www.myspace.com/pumpkinheadted ):

(Pumpkin Head Ted (PHT) was formed on a Friday in 1994 to fill in for a band that had cancelled for the next night in a downtown New Bedford, MA venue.The band was an instant hit and became the Saturday night house band for the next several years.

During this period the band went through many changes but stayed true to an acoustic format while experimenting with many styles.

PHT was originally: Tom Short on flute, saxes and vocals; John Nieman on guitar and vocals; and Matt Ryckebusch on bass. Later it expanded to include: Jason Smith on washboard, percussion, guitar and vocals; vocalist Kathy Crowley; Doug Tuxworth on sax; and Pat Pounds on mandolin.

The Pumpkin Head Ted band was named after Ted Kennedy whose politics, drinking ability and large Jack-O-Lantern like noggin we all admire greatly!

Come play Wii!

We have a giant screen - almost 8 feet by 10 feet! When 4 people are playing Mario Kart it's almost like everyone has their own 50" tv to look at! Come on down next Tuesday and Wednesday and challenge your friends to a few games.
