I hate when I find out about a show after it;s too late to make plans to go see them. Wednesday night at the Dragon’s Den is the Red Elvises. I’ve never heard of them until a couple of hours ago, but they sound so much fun. Their website has a ton of live MP3s and I’ve been listening to them for part of the night. Dernit.
Good news is that the Klezmer Allstars are playing Friday night! I thought they were playing last week and when I got to the Dragons Den they were closed. I figured I had the dates wrong and had missed them. I hadn’t counted on the fact that I was a week EARLY. Yay!
The Joneses opened up for the Red Elvises a couple of years ago at the Howlin’ Wolf. They’re a good band, but as is with any band that’s more schtick than good songs, once you ‘get’ the novelty, it’s kind of boring.
