The Fox and the Hound Show - 3/29/11

This week's show was supposed to include guest DJing by Jared "The Hound" High's parents, who were kept away by weather, and a live performance by Natalie Ness, who was under it. It did not, but it did include the usual inane joking and bizarre 3-song genre explorations. Listen & enjoy (?)

Be sure to catch Natalie, Jeff Waters & Matt Wagner at First Fridays [RSVP here] and Iron & Wine coming through this area later this month (Philly, Bmore, etc.) If you want to hear more dance music from us, Matt Pfeiffer and myself will be 'spinning' for Relay for Life here at Messiah next weekend.

Show Review: Acoustic Relay for Life Benefit

Bad Graphics Ghost, a Relay for Life team at my school, put on an acoustic show in the Fishbowl Tuesday night to raise money for cancer research. Featured artists included Justin Arawjo of Raise Up Roof Beams (great local indie/folk) who played originals and a Neautral Milk Hotel cover, Josiah Long and David Rosentrater (all covers with guitar & djembe), a surprise appearance by Kelly Neibert, and Tyler Chick of The Greenwash (ska/rock/insanity [expect an upcoming Homeboy Music profile]) doing originals and covers of Bob Marley, Belle and Sebastian, and a hilarious folk song. Despite the sounds of a movie playing upstairs, the intimate atmosphere (and admittedly small audience) provided a great, interactive experience, with each performer asking the audience what they wanted to hear almost throughout their sets. I was struck with the feeling that this was what college was all about.
