Of Pop And Paisley

Take heed young cultural elitist for I’d bet good shillings on the fact that there is not another show anywhere in the U. S. of A. on this fine Saturday in February that would rival the sheer pomp and circum-dance of the Paisley Reich Fest at Café Bourbon Street in Columbus, Ohio, TONIGHT! The Arcade Fire isn’t playing anywhere, right?

Oh yes, it’s happening in Ohio. Specifically, Columbus, Ohio. You'll soon come to realize it's happening here on many other nights, too. But, that’s for another column. Tonight it’s all about our beloved musical muckrakers, Times New Viking and their album release, “Present The Paisley Reich” (out now on Siltbreeze).

This EVENT is chock full of the sickest new bands of yesterday, tomorrow and today. Peep this line-up:

Mike Rep & the Quotas
Sword Heaven
Cheater Slicks
Hugs and Kisses w/ Envelope
Ron House
Psychedelic Horseshit
Clockclean er
and of course…
Times New Viking

Show starts at 7:30 with happy hour drink specials and goes ‘til, well, until you blackout probably. May ya be in Heaven a half-hour before tha Devil knows yer DEAD.

Click on over to Population: Doug for a much more thorough write-up of this show/band. You need to bookmark his blog anyway -- if you haven’t already -- it's a very nice read.

See ya tonight, lass + lad.
