I'm sorry, but I can't understand why the Slip was shelved in favor of this weak sauce. Way too mellow for my tastes.... Not going to try and persuade you on your opinion on the Barr Brothers music... but I don't think the Slip has been shelved. It's just not the only thing going on anymore. I had ...

Eisenhower is my favorite. To some of you folks, that's like a slap in the face or a :shock: sort of thing, but it was the first record I heard from them, so I have a special place for it. Actually, it's really refreshing to know that they still get people so excited and into their new albums that ...

The 5/9 Trio show with Andrew and Marc has been moved to Nectar's. Not as intimate a venue, but that means it can hold a larger crowd. Still 21+, $15 cover at the door, doors at 6pm (I'm doubt they'll play that early though). Jonah and the other kind folks behind http://www.vermontlivemusic.com/ hav...

I have only seen this promoted on Facebook, so I thought I'd pass along info in case anyone within driving distance hasn't heard about it yet: Two MARCO BENEVENTO shows have just been announced at the intimate listening room PARIMA in BURLINGTON, VERMONT: Friday, APRIL 2 | Marco Benevento Solo Piano...

Very cool. I hope we get a Brad tune in the house music in Montreal this weekend. Here's a possibility as to how that connection got started: Last summer Wilco picked up lighting designer Jason Liggett who worked at Higher Ground in Burlington,VT. I'm sure he's worked with The Slip/SMMD at HG over t...

Normally, I'd totally drive up from VT for that... but we're headed to NYC to see a matinee of Fela! (the musical with Antibalas) on Saturday. Might opt to stick around the city for the Trio's set late night Saturday instead.

Thanks for the setlists, Tyler. I didn't have a pen and didn't feel like typing it in my phone. It was a great show. Loved the new stuff, and great to hear some older tunes too. Mardi Gras in particular. Last time I remember hearing it was at the theater in Waitsfield, VT where Nathan played the mel...

The case lists cities, not specific dates, so here's my best guess looking at Slipbase setlists from fall '02 - summer '03 in those cities. Northhampton 11/21/02 TEWDACYATM San Luis Opispo 10/26/02 Introductions Headshot Mr. Meowskers Boston (likely 12/30/02) Happy Snails Martha's Vineyard 07/23/03 ...

Surprise Me Mr. Davis and The Low Anthem come together for a run of shows in the Northeast next week. Surprise Me Mr. Davis will be joined by very special guest and most recent confederate Marco Benevento on piano. Dear SMMD, Marco played with you in California while I was stuck in the Northeast. A...

Checked my archives and I did acquire a copy of this back in '02 or '03 (and 90% sure did not get it from Cleantone), so it has circulated in the past. Never had any source info for mine, but I'm assuming it's the same. Not sure if it makes any difference in terms of whether they'd rather it not con...

so my computer is on the fritz, katie would u mind up-ing the mp3s onto sendspace or something for me! pleeaassee! I think Jonah will have them up on his website for quite a while if you want to grab them later. (I think they've been up for a while too, it just took me a little while to find them!)...

I just noticed that Jonah put this show up for download! Such a fun, impromptu set, even it wasn't quite the usual SMMD (Andrew wasn't there). I'm really psyched to listen to this again. http://www.vermontlivemusic.com/Surprise%20Me%20Mr.%20Davis/ Not sure if these links have been posted before, but...

Marco Benevento Trio at Club Metronome 06/12/09: http://www.vermontlivemusic.com/Marco%20Benevento%20Trio/ The opening set is also up, if you're curious. http://www.vermontlivemusic.com/Japhy%20Ryder/2009-06-12%20-%20Club%20Metronome,%20Burlington%20VT/ It's Japhy Ryder with special guests from Rubb...

ps: I forgot to mention that the Club Metronome show is 18+ but because of Burlington city ordinances they can't let anyone under 21 in after 11pm. It's a weird rule, but if you get there early and don't try and sneak any drinks, they'll let you stay all night. And hey, all the more reason to check ...

Add one more date to the list of shows not to be missed: <a href="http://www.clubmetronome.com/proddir/prod/131/1179">06/12 at Club Metronome in Burlington with Andrew and Marc</a>. One of my other favorite bands (besides The Slip) is opening. :wink: Lots of good music going on up here tha...
