I couldn't skip the Dylan show, but I decided to see as much of the Day of the Dowd as I could. And I was there at 10:45 to see the show kick off at 11 with Justin Roberts and the Not Ready for Naptime Players. A friend was excited to see them as she'd never seen them before. Since I've seen them a bunch, I asked why not, she replied "I don't have kids." When I mentioned that to Justin later he responded, "Neither do I." Excellent point. I was able to stay through the much-anticipated Frisbie reunion (with the help of some ringers), but then I split for the Cadillac Theater. Dylan was great, if a little mellower than usual, and I cursed the fancy theater setting that seemed to necessitate an intermission, but I rushed out the door and made it back just as Gerald took the stage with his band, and for the first time all day he wasn't behind the drum kit. Sure I missed Kelly Hogan, Chris Mills and Robbie Fulks, and that was heartbreaking, but you know what? They've all played in my basement. I'd never seen, and maybe will never see again, most of the bands who played that day. I knew Gerald was a great drummer, but I really had no idea until I saw him go from playing kids music to salsa to technical jazz to glam to power pop, and a bunch pf other stuff in between. It was remarkable. I'm glad I could be there for most of it.<br />

Next to Schubas, Fitzgeralds is my favorite Chicago-area venue. It looks like a house from the outside and it feels like home inside. It was another awesome set from one of the tightest bands working now. And of course Chuck was the best dressed man in the room. The show was really great, but the best part may have been after the show when he said "Hey, when am I gonna play your deal again? Email my booking guy so he knows you're in!" Now I just have to wait, patiently.<br />

Instead he ended up in the Brink Lounge playing a free show in front of a handful of folks, only a few who seemed to be there specifically for the show (ie me, Bill, Michelle). I hadn't seen the Honeydogs in years, and had missed their last Madison show because I was hosting Ian Moore at the house. That would be the first time he played, way back in 2007. After that they gave up on Madison, but had still been playing their hometown of Minneapolis and the occasional out of town show in Chicago. It was good to see Levy, but even better to see guitarist Brian Halverson who joined him for half of his set. Apparently Halverson hadn't played many of these songs in years, but he never missed a beat. He may be the key to getting a Honeydogs show at the house, since he was super enthusiastic about the idea. Maybe someday.<br />

I guess I shouldn't have been, it was a good warm-up to to his day long CD release show in which he was planning to play for 13 hours with 16 different bands. No really, that's the plan. A friend was surprised that Gerald wasn't playing drums at all tonight. Not me, I knew he'd be playing all the hits from his new record. And they are.<br />
<br />
I forgot my camera, so my apologies for the photos taken with my iPhone from the back of the room. <br />

They returned with some great stories and a bunch of pictures. So basically everyone at the Hideout tonight paid ten bucks to see their vacation photos, and no one was complaining. There was lots of talk, and some singing. "What was that, seven songs?" I teased Jon Langford after the show. "It was nine," he replied mock indignantly, "as was agreed upon in the contract." Add to the enjoyable company the fact that tour sponsor Lagunitas was supplying free IPA to everyone in the audience who wanted one (or more), and it was a pretty awesome evening. Of course.<span id="goog_1203179406"></span><span id="goog_1203179407"></span><br />

<![endif]-->I don’t often book bands I haven’t seem, and it’s been years
since I’ve booked a band I haven’t actually heard, but sometimes there are
exceptions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only thing that I knew
about the Hushdrops is that they had been around forever, though they seldom
play and even less frequently release a record, and that drummer Joe Camarillo
was one of the members.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Add to that the
fact that Kelly Hogan was the one who sent them emphatically my way, and I said
yes in a heartbeat. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition to
Camarillo, who drums with the Waco Brothers, Skull Orchard and many others, the
other band members keep busy too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lead
singer/songwriter John San Juan has solo projects and a real job, while bassist
Jim Shapiro is the drummer for Veruca Salt, who have recently been quite
active.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Given the schedules, it’s no
wonder they took so long between releases and why scheduling a tour can be a
bit of a challenge.
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Tomorrow Vol 2 followed volume one almost a decade later,
and the double record set is an eclectic mix of classic rock ready anthems and
catchy power pop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some instantly
memorable, some harder to pin down. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Live
they also varied from one end of the spectrum to the other, from polished
rockers to gritty breakdowns.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While much
of the time their vocals were smooth and harmonic, they could also be raw and
cacophonic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Though the latter might have
as much to do with a bottle of Powers as it did with infrequency of
playing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even when it didn’t sound
amazing, it was still a ton of fun, and the just past awkward sized audience
was enthusiastic about a band some of them hadn’t seen in years.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was a bit at a loss of who to ask to open.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only band that came to mind already had a
gig, which was surprising since they don’t play that often.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Eventually I came up with Paul Otteson’s Faux
Fawn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They aren’t the same genre, but
they are really good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Vocalist Audre Rae
is the newest member of the band, and an excellent addition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her grounded vocals serve to anchor Otteson’s
almost too pretty voice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even more
remarkably, she manages to keep up with him lyrically.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are a lot of words in his songs, and
she gets by with only a few glances at her page of notes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The rhythm section is impeccable, the always
smiling Luke Bassuener on drums and upright bassist Tom McCarty make for a
formidable combo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Otteson reminisced
about his CD release show in the basement years earlier, and how Rae had been
in the audience that night, “falling in love with the drummer.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The two do make an adorable couple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, everything about Faux Fawn was
perfect tonight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My sound guy swooned
over them, declaring his perfect show would be them and Team Awesome (who had
played just a few weeks earlier).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not a
bad idea.</div>

Why you bring in a ringer of course. The much-loved Dick the Bruiser hadn't played a show in quite awhile when they hit upon this brilliant idea. I missed the first installment where Michelle Shinker of Bes Monde took over the mike, but I was there to see Chris Vance do his best in the unenviable position of singing DtB songs with them as his backing band. It was different of course, but also pretty great. And I'll take that over no Dick the Bruiser at all.<br />

When the choice comes between seeing a band I love and playing, volleyball almost always wins (I claim it's so that my team doesn't know how good they are without me). However, if the Water Liars hadn't just been at my house a few months earlier, I definitely would have gotten a sub tonight. I hurried down there as fast as I could after our match only to find that they had just finished. It wasn't a total waste of time, I still got to see the always-earnest Field Report (a great Wisconsin band making a name for themselves) and the powerhouse rock of the Whigs. Both were good, but I would have traded them for a couple Water Liars songs, or a handful of magic beans.<br />

It wasn't anywhere near sold out, but there was a quite decent, and very enthusiastic, crowd that pressed to the the front of the stage for their set. The band undoubtedly owes a debt to Neutral Milk Hotel, but lucky for us they've already exceeded that band's output and live performances. It's a unique sound that owes everything to the three band members. Front and center is lead singer Nils Edenloff's fantastically unique voice, which has a polarizing love it or hate it effect on people. In my case it is positively swoon-worthy. Keyboardist Amy Cole also handles backing vocals, her voice pairing intriguingly with Edenloff's, as well as additional percussion and the bass pedals that take the place of a fourth band member. It's a testament to drummer Paul Banwatt's importance that he sets up in line with the other two at the front of the stage instead of behind them. The set was a great mix of old and new, each song meeting with unilateral approval from the crowd. They haven't let the move to bigger venues stop them from playing their last song from the floor in the middle of the crowd. A reverent hush allowed everyone in the room to hear every note. A warming farewell before we headed back out into the rain and cold with smiles on our faces.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
I had just booked this Steve Wynn solo show when
Scott McCaughey contacted me about the Baseball Project playing at the
house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Luckily, Wynn really liked
playing here in August, and was immediately looking forward to returning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With a career and catalog as extensive as
his, it’s hard to know how he pulled together a set list.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There had recently been a few reunion shows
of the Dream Syndicate, his seminal Paisley Underground band, so he began with
a few of their songs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t actually
know much of his catalog, but I recognized “The Days of Wine of Roses”
instantly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the next hour and a half
he played a wide range of songs, from early days to a couple of Baseball
Project requests.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To be fair, we weren't being rude, he did ask us which of those songs we wanted to hear. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most of the folks here tonight had been at one
of the Baseball Project shows back in August, and wasted no time in coming up
with two excellent selections, both with a Wisconsin theme.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first was “Larry Yount,” from their most
recent record, which tells the sad story of Robin’s older brother, injured
warming up for his first Major League appearance, while Robin went on to years
of glory and a World Series appearance in Milwaukee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The second was “Harvey Haddix” from their
first release. This bizarre tale of a pitcher who threw 12 perfect innings only
to lose the game in the thirteenth is one of my personal favorites. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
argue he should be included on the list of pitchers who have thrown perfect games, a list recited in the song, and which continues to grow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wynn looked relieved at the end, “It’s hard
to remember all those names!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Somehow
when Scott (McCaughey) and I are singing it together it’s easier.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It seemed to be the only time he missed having bandmates on
stage with him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was charming and relaxed
throughout, telling great stories about the songs, or that sometimes ones that had
nothing to do with the song.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had
chosen to stand so that he was facing each side of the room equally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A decision he later regretted, since it meant
he was actually facing no one, which led to the story of a strange club in
Spain where the stage spanned two rooms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The band members on one side may have an energetic, enthusiastic crowd,
while those on the other half weren’t so great.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>“I think the Bathe separatists blew it up,” he claimed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I’m not joking,” he continued when we all
laughed, “I think they did.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m not
always a fan of the solo electric show, but Wynn was definitely one of those
who did it well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was never too loud,
and he played it more like an acoustic than like Guitar Hero.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In all the years of doing the house concerts I’ve only had
to cancel one show on account of weather, and one (well in advance) on account
of health.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was the first time I had
someone call in sick day of.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mike
Fredrickson, who is probably better known as bassist for Robbie Fulks and Paul
Cebar, had been scheduled to open, playing songs from his new solo release as
well as from his career as leader of the popular Milwaukee band the
Mosleys.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That afternoon he was sad to
report he had a head cold and couldn’t sing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I was disappointed, but as it turned out there was a back-up opener
sitting on my couch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Xoe Wise is a
Chicago area musician and a friend of a friend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She was in town to meet with her booking agent and see the show.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She certainly didn’t expect to be playing
tonight, and she didn’t have her guitar, but she was game to fill in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She used the house guitar and played a great
set of tunes on short notice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another
thing I don’t always like is girl singers, but I’d had have the charming and
adorable Wise back anytime.</div>

He laughed, he could pretty much guarantee that they would not play eight of that record's eleven songs, but I said yes anyway. Which was a pretty good call. 1965 was my first Afghan Whigs record and I fell in love. I bought Gentlemen and Black Love looking forward to more of the same, only to find heavier songs without the sexy funk that made '65 so addictive. Do the Beast came out earlier this year, and it turns out it picks up where that record left off, almost. And as a result, I loved this show. Maybe because I wasn't expecting it, or probably because it was truly awesome. There was only one song from my my favorite record, but eight from the new one. As with the last show, unexpected covers and bits of other songs (like "Tusk" and "Getting Better") inserted in surprising places made for a remarkable show. The band isn't all that young anymore, but from the balcony that night they were the sexiest group in the world.<br />
<br />
It had been many years since I had seen Joseph Arthur, but it seemed weird to think the quiet singer/songwriter I'd seen at Montmartre so long ago would be tonight's opener. I don't know where he's been the last ten years, but painting seems as likely an answer as any. The last time I saw him he transformed a white sheet strung up behind him into an improv work of art. He's perfected this skill into a succinct part of his act. As he spit angry words into a microphone over a looped track, he skillfully turned the blank canvas on the easel into a colorful painting. If he isn't selling these after the show he is missing a prime market. I would imagine an Afghan Whigs crowd would be hard to win over, but he seemed to have suceeded.<br />

He's spent a great deal of time in the UK where he's made a number of friends and allies. He returned the favor by setting up this gig for the terrifically named Good Intentions (oh please tell me that somewhere out there is a band called the Road to Hell that they can co-headline with). Upstairs at the Brocach can be an uncomfortable place to see a show, but they manged a decent and enthusiastic crowd. It was a lovely evening with good music and no better place to enjoy a Guinness.<br />

Ha! If he only knew. I agreed with him, hoping he would leave. It worked. If last night's gig was strange, this seemed like a parallell universe, not to mention a huge step backward. There was no cover, there was no stage, there wasn't a decent PA, and there didn't appear to be anyone there who actually knew who the band was. There was however a bunch of dudes who were starting a Matchbox 20 cover band and couldn't stop talking about it. Apparently Tonka was going to play in the bar's beer garden, but abandoned that plan when the temperatures had dipped into the chilly. It was weird, but fun, which I guess is exactly what I expected from a trip to Maryville.<br />

So I figured I should probably travel to the middle of Missouri to find out. Surprisingly, at the risk of blaspheme, they didn't seem all that much different. In fact, the addition of the Spring Standards' James Smith on keyboards and backing vocals seemed to shake up the band more than replacing one of its original members. There was a fair size crowd at this slightly off-kilter club in the small town of Warrensburg, also home to the University of Central Missouri, but they seemed like they were there as much for the openers (the surprisingly entertaining We Make Noise and the strangely mis-matched Into the Breach) as they were for Tonka. Still it seemed like a good way to let new member Mike Reilly, the sweet-faced drummer of Hoots and Hellmouth, get comfortable.<br />

Since his songs are much heavier, it isn't really surprising that I don't enjoy the the songs that co-frontman Jason Lowenstein sings as much as those sung by Barlow, but it does give the band an unexpected balance. Plus, it turns out Barlow is a pretty awesome bass player. Who knew? Oh right, everybody. I look forward to his next trip through Madison, though I do hope he gets a haircut before then. At the risk of sounding like his mother, his adorable flop of curls has turned into a concealing curtain of hair.<br />

Having only a vague idea of what they were, and having never listened to them (that I was aware of), I replied, "That sounds terrible." Before the show I listened to the last record a few times and decided it wasn't terrible at all. I didn't envy Califone trying to win over the hipster crowd that had sold out the Majestic, none of which were there for them. Still, they played a fantastic set that kept me smiling the whole time. With a short set time, there wasn't much room for Rutilli's hilariously inappropriate and oft uncomfortable banter, but they did what they could.<br />
<br />
As for the War on Drugs, I didn't really get what all the fuss was about, and didn't blame my plus one at all when he decided to bow out after a half hour. I stayed a bit longer, but eventually decided it was all starting to sound the same. Which is fine, given the sold out crowd, I don't think they missed me at all.<br />

<![endif]-->When I first started doing house concerts I relied heavily
on Blake Thomas and Josh Harty to make it happen. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Harty was nice enough to loan me his PA, they
were my sound guys, and frequently the opening act, solo or together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s been years since either of them had
played in the basement, with Thomas off to Minnesota and Harty on a
never-ending tour, so when they asked if they could play a CD release show at
the house, I jumped at the chance to have two of my favorite boys back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The CD had been recorded several years
earlier, but had been awaiting a proper release till things calmed down (see
above), and it features many of their original songs, plus an excellent cover
of Townes Van Zandt’s “White Freightliner,” that they have played together for
years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Reservations were slow at first,
but it eventually sold out in a flurry a couple days before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It broke my heart to turn down longtime fans
from back in the Mickey’s days, but you know what they say.

<div class="MsoNormal">
The first act tonight consisted of each of them doing a
short solo set, which followed by a set together after intermission.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Time was there wasn’t a song in Harty’s
catalog that I hadn’t heard a million times, but with him on the road the bulk
of the last two years he had new material in his canon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And even the songs I had heard a million
times seemed fresh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seemed odd to
hear the perennially upbeat Harty admit that “here’s a song my dad hates.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His dad is a preacher, so I guess it’s no
surprise that he doesn’t like the song about Sister Morphine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve heard many a Harty story about growing
up playing shows with his dad at nursing homes and small town festivals, and
tonight was no exception. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thomas’s newer
material was decidedly lighter, having recently penned a musical which takes a
trip through time with music highlighting each era.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the stage production of the musical some
of the songs were sung by his wife, the very talented Mary Fox, but Thomas sang
songs like “When the World is Married to my Dreams” every bit as well, even
though he claimed otherwise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a
reminder of what a great songwriter he is, and how much I’ve missed him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He closed his set with the ridiculous
sing-along, or as he said “I was thinking about doing something kinda dumb.” Literally
a song about a guy who’s really good at bowling, “Matt Ladish is on Fire” ended
his set the way so many of those nights at Mickey’s ended.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thank god the calls for “Monster Truck Rally”
went unheeded.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They came back from the break to play the new record, with some
notable additional players.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Chris Sasman
had fashioned a drum kit from a returnable beer case and a dresser drawer (I
wonder if his wife knew about the latter).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The subdued sound was the perfect backing for the duo’s quiet
songs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was also a fourth chair on
stage that wasn’t occupied till a few songs in when Shauncey Ali and his violin
joined them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ali is a talented and
instinctual player with an indelible memory. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thomas marveled later that he didn’t know how
Shauncey could possibly remember songs he had only played once years ago. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were no surprises in this set which
featured a roughly equal number of songs from both of them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These were the songs they played together
when I saw them the most, each harmonizing on the other’s tunes with the
exception of “Country Song.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Harty’s
simple, sad song had evolved into an affecting duet with Thomas taking the
first verse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m not sure how, but I had
forgotten what a perfect song his “You’ve Got Me Feeling like the Moon” was,
but tonight it triggered a flood of emotion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’ve known both of them for so long that it’s easy to take them for
granted, but this was one of the best shows the basement has seen.</div>

The one thing I don't like is that the majority of their shows are on a Wednesday, and that's the one night of the week that I can't attend. I was pleased to see that one of the bands playing two shows this year was the Pines, who seem made for the Barn's rustic setting. It was a beautiful set from a band I don't get to see often enough. Perhaps the best part was a totally unexpected Dwight Yoakam cover that had me streaming nothing but the next day at work. Always good to see you boys.<br />

<![endif]-->I recently asked Chris Mills whatever happened to Bishop
Allen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’d first seen them on a bill
with him in New York many years ago and was instantly charmed, so charmed that
I bought every one of their monthly EPs that year, despite the fact that I
despise EPs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He didn’t know, suggesting
sometimes music just gets too hard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As
someone who always seems one album away from calling it a day, he should
know.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Luckily that wasn’t the case at
all I discovered soon after, they’d been laying low and working on a new
record, which I was a lot surprised to stumble across on their website.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lights Out didn’t grab me at first, but I
kept listening and it turned out to be a grower.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not as immediately catchy as the perfect
Broken String, which had been distilled from those many EPs, the new record
pulled me in a bit more with each listen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I was super excited to see them at Schubas tonight, even though it meant
getting up at 4:30 to catch a 6 am train to a bus to Green Bay to start our
Door County vacation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yep, totally worth
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This show and the record are
destined for my year-end lists.
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bishop Allen has records other than String and Lights (their
effervescent debut Charm School and the underrated third record Grrrr), but you
wouldn’t have guessed it from this set, which barely acknowledged the latter
two while seemingly splitting evenly between the former.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I couldn’t have been happier.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From the new record we got opening track
“Start Again,” appropriate for a band that is essentially doing just that, the
ridiculously catchy, stick in your head “Skeleton Key,” and the New Wave
channeling “Breadcrumbs.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A good chunk
of String was also represented including the sorta title track “Monitor,” about
the great Civil War battleship of course, not the on-stage aid, containing the
brilliant line, “When I break another string and continue to sing, is that
crazy, I don’t know.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The seemingly made-for,
and eventually featured in, a Kodak commercial song “Click, Click, Click” was
an infectious highlight that had everyone moving.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Which was true of the whole show.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I often look around at shows that I am
bouncing around at to see an audience full of folks as still as statues.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tonight it seemed like everyone wanted to
dance as much as I did.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And that
palpable joy from the audience had to apparent to lead singer Justin Rice who
fed off it and gave it back to us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Before one song from Grrr he claimed, “Whatever city we are in, I want
to tell them next song is about their town, but this one isn’t, it’s about
“Oklahoma.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When they returned to the
stage for an encore, Darbie Rice, keyboard player and the only other returning
member, stepped to the microphone as cries of “Butterfly Net” spilled from the
audience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now everyone knows I am not a
fan of girl singers, especially the ones with sweet, fragile voices like hers,
but I love this song.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I love Bishop
Allen, and this was an incredibly welcome comeback.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“We have tomorrow off,” Justin explained toward the end of
the night, “so if anyone has any ideas of what we should do, let us know.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Play another show,” was the immediate
response from the crowd.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Sure, if
anyone has a basement or a bedroom we can use, we’d be happy to do that.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dangit, I had to go to Door County the next
day but I did post on Twitter that I did in fact have a basement, and that
while I couldn’t do the next night, I would love to have them some time in the
future.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I followed that up with an
e-mail the next day, which Justin replied to that they would love to next time
they were in the area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Swoon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hope it’s soon.</div>

<![endif]-->Despite the fact that I’ve worked with the Undertow guys
many, many times, unless it is someone I’ve hosted before they don’t always ask
me if I’m interested in hosting some of their other artists.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Knowing this, I periodically check their
website to see what they have happening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I never would have gotten Tim Kasher otherwise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This time I was excited to see Rocky Votolato
was heading to the Midwest, unfortunately Madison wasn’t on his itinerary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He did however have two nights slated for
Chicago. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I e-mailed them and said
that if he changed his mind about doing two nights there, I would LOVE to have
him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They answered quickly, to the
effect of “screw Chicago, you got it.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’d been a fan of Votolato’s since my friend Pete handed me the store
copy of his record Makers in 2006 and said “I think you will like this.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was right, and I brought it back the next
day and bought my own copy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was one
of those serendipitously timed events, when I searched for his tour schedule it
turned out he was going to be in Madison only a few weeks later (coincidentally
with another house concert alumni, Damien Jurado).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And that was the last time he’d played
Madison before tonight.
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He couldn’t have possibly known that Makers was my
introduction, and still my favorite record of his, but it figured heavily into
the set.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The languorous title track
which quietly admits to “filling and re-filling up the glass with Makers” was a
lovely stop for the encore, though after he finished he claimed that was too
dark a song to end on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bonus, another
song.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The quaintly catchy “Tinfoil Hats”
conjures imagines of Joaquin Phoenix in a shiny chapeau hiding in a closet to
avoid alien detection in the movie “Signs.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But even though he played many of those songs he didn’t do my favorite
of those tracks, “She Was Only in It for the Rain.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That leaves something for next time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wasn’t the only one who didn’t get what I
requested.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As he puzzled over what to
play for the encore a number of suggestions came from the audience, who just
like me had been waiting forever for him to come back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I’d love to play those songs,” he
apologized, “I just don’t know them, honestly.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He’d suggested earlier that he had been at a bit of a crossroads lately,
unsure if he was going to continue down the music path.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This tour and new songs like the very
appealing “I Wish I Was a Tennenbaum” suggest maybe he has chosen, and chosen
wisely I might add.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I think tonight
may have convinced him he shouldn’t wait eight years to play Madison again.</div>

Despite some stormy weather over the weekend, the show went on. There were great sets from the Midwest Beat and Lydia Loveless, but the best part was a kid who played a stick for the Beat's entire set.<br />

shows, but as it turns out this is the only one I made it to outside of my house. Funnily
enough, the hostess of tonight's show was nicknamed Coco, "Hi Coco, I'm
Kiki." That was fun to say. A big fan, Coco was hosting the show at
her sister's house, which was also the house they grew up in, a spacious
and gorgeous home with impossibly high ceilings and an in-ground pool out back sitting back from the road at the end of a cul-de-sac. Other than me and Shelia Sachs, a friend of Chris's from Chicago, Coco knew everyone in the room. They were relatives, friends and co-workers, most of whom had never heard of Chris Mills. But they enjoyed it, "that was my favorite song so far!" one excited audience member exclaimed after a song.<br />
<br />
There were a handful of songs that differed from the set that he played in my basement, including the hostess's request for the Flaming Lips' "Waiting for Superman" which Mills had done on his terrific covers record. I'm not sure I'd ever heard him do it live, and if I had, it would have been a long time ago. It was totally worth the drive, and I left definitely wishing I was going to see more of these shows. <br />

<![endif]-->Chris Mills had played to a capacity crowd with his band the
Distant Stars back in January, so it was difficult to figure out why ticket
sales had been so sluggish for his first official “Living Room” show at the
house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve worked with Undertow many
times on these shows, which are usually played unplugged in the living rooms of
people who don’t usually have shows, and they range from immediate sell outs
(like Califone and Tim Kasher) to only a handful of fans.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was looking somewhat bleak, only a couple
tickets had been sold as of a few days before, but there were folks who were
swayed last minute, perhaps by my sad plea in an e-mail the day before, and it
ended up being an acceptable, and very enthusiastic, crowd.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mills and I both chided each other for being
worried. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even though it was only the second night of the tour, he
decided to save his voice and opted to use the PA, you know, since it was
there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And luckily my usual sound guy
was already planning on coming.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the
spirit of the living room show, he gave us more background on the songs than he
usually would.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I just turned forty last
week,” he started off, “so I’ll be talking a lot about regret and looking back
in sadness.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He introduced “Love in the
Time of Cholera” as a song based on/inspired by a Gabriel Garcia Marquez novel,
“he died recently,” he added, “he was quite old, not unlike myself, now.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“And like the characters in the book who are
old people, who waited a long time to get together and have sex with each
other.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then, thinking about what he had
said, “so, basically it’s a disgusting novel.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He also gave people the chance to make requests, but “do it early,
because later I’ll be tired.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had
re-learned a lot of old songs as requests from the hosts, so the set list
contained a sampling from his entire catalog, including some songs that he
hadn’t played in a decade.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“But really,
if there is something you want to hear,” he paused dramatically, “that I have
written on this list and have practiced, I’d be happy to play it.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was hoping that he would already know to play “Dry Eye,”
still my favorite song of his, so I requested “Lips Are Like Poison,” a song I
hadn’t heard him play in ages, perhaps since I requested it at a show at
Maxwell’s many, many years ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After
introducing it as my choice, he added that it had almost cost him a record
contract.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think it’s an amazing, if
decidedly dark, song, but I can see where the line “Even if you wanted me I’m
too drunk to fuck” might have rubbed some people the wrong way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He did know to play “Dry Eye” and about
halfway through the show he asked if it was a good time to play it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had to ask if that was a rhetorical
question, now is always a good time to play it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>“This is Kiki’s favorite song… ever,” he claimed before adding, “not
really, but she makes me feel that way and I appreciate it.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ha, little does he know, it just might be
might be my favorite song ever.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If it
isn’t that, it’s probably the title track to “The Silver Line” which may just
be a perfect pop song.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like many of the
songs, the solo acoustic version was equally as awesome as the band version I
know by heart.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Like every Mills show I spent the whole night smiling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s so amazing to have my favorite
songwriter play in my basement, not to mention for the second time this
year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m a lucky girl.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve known Scott McCaughey for years, having befriended him
following one of John Wesley Harding’s All Male Threesome shows at the High
Noon, back even before I was hosting righteous music at my house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’d been telling him for years to come play
with whatever outfit he wanted, solo or with one of his many bands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I never expected to get the Baseball Project,
his super group which also includes the Dream Syndicate’s Steve Wynn, his wife
Linda Pitmon and Mike Mills, who plays in REM, but that’s what happened.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(Thanks again Mile of Music Fest!)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was a little worried setting the suggested
donation at $25 on a Sunday night, but I didn’t need to be, and the show sold
out quickly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had another couple dozen
on the wait list when I proposed a double header to McCaughey.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It might have been the way I phrased it, but
he jumped at the idea.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Problem was, they
were supposed to sing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” during the seventh inning
stretch at Miller Park that day, which would make setting up for a 5:30 show
difficult.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After some thought they came
up with a solution, their tour manager would bring the van and all the
equipment to Madison and get set up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Meanwhile a friend would whisk them out of Miller Park immediately after
they fulfilled their obligation and deliver them to my door.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It almost worked perfectly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We weren’t quite ready to open the doors at 5 as I had promised, but
when they did open, the folks who’d been more or less having a tailgate party
in the driveway filed in efficiently and the show started just a few minutes
late.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not bad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It didn’t seem real until a friend who’d been
at the game sent me a photo of the foursome on Miller Park’s big screen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Very cool.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>While I had been mostly immune to the Mike Mills fever that had
undoubtedly been a factor in selling out both shows (I was all about Scott
McCaughey finally playing my house), it was a pretty cool sight to have their
tour manager open the doors of the Sprinter to reveal a van full of road cases
tagged “REM Athens GA.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was even more
surreal when he told us that the bass Mills was playing was destined for the
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, immediately swearing us to secrecy until the
guitar was safely back in Athens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ll
admit I may have let that slip to a few folks, but only the trustworthy ones.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There were a few diehards (most of them Steve Wynn fans) who
signed up for both shows, but a few more caught the baseball fever and ended up
staying for both (including the Bottle Rockets Mark Ortmann, making his first
appearance as an audience member).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
was worth seeing both, only a few songs were part of both sets, including the
ridiculously catchy two minute blast “Ichiro Goes to the Moon” from Volume Two
and the infectious “Hola America!” from the new Third.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Larry Yount,” the tale of Robin’s lesser
known brother who almost made the big time, seemed an obvious choice given
Yount’s ties to Wisconsin, while Mike Mills’ impassioned plea to get Dale
Murphy in the hall of fame “To the Veteran’s Committee” is so sublime I didn’t
even miss him doing his usual REM tune “Don’t Go Back to Rockdale.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All needed to be played twice.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In fact both sets were pretty even in terms of quantity and
quality, but if I had to pick a favorite set it would be the second owing to
the inclusion of embarrassingly catchy “Ted F*cking Williams” and the magical
tale of “Harvey Haddix.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The latter
tells the unbelievable story of Haddix who they argue should be credited with a
perfect game after having pitched twelve perfect innings and not one more,
while I had the former stuck in my head for days after.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The other bonus of later show was a short
three song opening set from Trapper Schoepp.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When he played the house back in June he played a song called “Dear
Prospect” about a friend of his who had just been drafted by the Dodgers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After he played it, a friend suggested that
they should come back and play it before tonight’s show.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Luckily that worked into Trapper and his
brother Tanner’s schedule perfectly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Even though it was only three songs they made some new fans
quickly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I do apologize for stealing his
“opening pitch” analogy from Twitter.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The night flew by and before I knew the Sprinter was packed
up again and there were hugs all around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I thanked McCaughey profusely for making this happen and told Wynn I
would see him soon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As it turned out I
had booked a Steve Wynn solo show for October before I had even booked
tonight’s show.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Luckily he dug the room,
and I look forward to having him back. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I’m hopeful for another Baseball Project
show next season.</div>

<![endif]-->I despaired when St Louis’s Theodore broke up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even though no one ever came to see them at
the house, those were three of my favorite house concerts ever.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Luckily Theodore’s lead singer Justin Kinkle-Schuster
immediately formed the Water Liars with friend Andrew Bryant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They’d been a band for three records already
but I hadn’t had them at the house yet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I owe Appleton’s Mile of Music Fest a thank you, because it brought them
(and the Baseball Project a few days later) to Wisconsin with some schedule
holes to fill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Water Liars were
touring with three strong albums and a ton of great press under their belts,
resulting in a crowd that equaled all three Theodore crowds combined.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of that thanks has to go to openers the
Midwest Beat, who suggested themselves as openers when I wasn’t sure who to
ask, and then did a great job promoting it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
With three lead singers, there’s something for everyone to
like in Midwest Beat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tim Schweiger
brings the power pop swagger, while Matt Joyce does the alt country rock to
perfection.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Meanwhile bassist Kyle
Denton (who I found out is also one of Trapper Schoepp’s Shades) is the right
amount of rock and roll, and probably a little bit of trouble too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They played a tightly economical forty minute
set that left everyone wanting more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All
the more reason to go to Orton Park a few weeks later for their mid-afternoon
set.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Water Liars also left a lot of broken hearts
behind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Where the Midwest Beat
specializes in the catchy, three minute pop song, the Liars believe in
gut-wrenching beauty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kinkel-Schuster’s
voice continues to amaze me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not content
to just play album versions of the songs, they’ve reinvented some of them even
better than before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wyoming’s stand-out
track “Linens” was, improbably, even better tonight than on record.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Something that didn’t escape Bill Swan’s
notice, “Wasn’t that the song from your Best Of compilation?” he asked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Wow, it sounds even better live.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The band which started as a guitar/drums duo
became a trio a couple years ago with the addition of bassist GR.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Despite the power trio appearance they can
still keep it quiet, and relished the chance to do so tonight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were happy to play seated after playing
so many “rock shows” recently. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It might have been the reason they played a little longer
than usual too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They always end too
soon, but tonight’s set was almost an hour, and the truth is I could listen to
them all night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a relatively
rocking song, Bryant and GR stood up as Justin thanked everyone for coming and
announced there would be one more song.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The basement fell silent as he picked out the melody of “Let It
Breathe.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“There’s a room inside my
heart where no one ever goes, it’s been boarded up and locked for years and everything
is gone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then you came along and cut
yourself a key, swept the floors and opened all the windows, said baby let it
breathe.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was slower than the album
version, more reverb and more emotion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And it was breathtaking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
could have played more, but that was the perfect, final, amazing note.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Swoon.</div>
