Just a quick note to let y'all know Elena Skye & The Demolition String Band
will be opening for Ricky Skaggs at Irving Plaza tonight. Also featured
tonight will be John Herald, one of the original Green Briar Boys, his band
will feature some hot, hot local pickers.
Skaggs band won't be too shabby either.
WARNING: The Demolition String Band are definately the far edgy corner of the
bluegrass part of bluegrass, definately no part of nothing in the BIll Monroe
view of the world. There's a snare drum and a screaming telecaster and
baritone guitar, in case there are any hardcore bluegrasss afficianados out
there. I think the most bluegrass you'll find up there is in our burning
little hearts, definately not in the structure of our sound. Fore-warned is
fore-armed
THEN...Saturday afternoon at 1PM The Demolition String Band will appear live
on WFMU, 91.1FM, as part of Laura Cantrell's long running Saturday afternoon
show, Radio Thrift Shop.
BTW, Laura will be featured in a special on City Arts on Channel Thirteen
tonight and then again on Sunday. Unfortuantely I don't have an exact time,
I'll post that as soon as I find out. It will be a special on radio shows.
