Danny Malone, Friday, April 30th, @ Momo’s

I bet you thought I was going to highlight the Phoenix/Two Door Cinema Club show at Stubb’s tonight, didn’t you?  Nope, too easy.  I’m sure it will be awesome, though.

I am going to recommend you go see Danny Malone with Rebecca Loebe, the Blue Hit, and Green Mountain Grass on Friday at Momo’s.  I wrote about Danny Malone several months ago and still haven’t seen him live.   I’m going to keep trying, though, and one day I will catch a show.

As far as I can tell, Danny Malone is a damn talented song writer and his new album is one you’ll play on repeat.  I’m not familiar with the other artists on the bill, but I bet they aren’t too bad either.  Check it.

The Big Pink @ the Parish, Thursday, April 8

thebigpinkpink11Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand we’re back!  Sorry, the Calendar of Fun has been on a post-SXSW hiatus.  Anyway, the Big Pink is playing at the Parish on Thursday.  A Place to Bury Strangers is opening.  Have you heard the Big Pink’s “Dominos” from their 2009 release “A Brief History of Love”?  No?  Well, here it is.  I listened to this on repeat for the whole month of December.

These Brits probably won’t come around often, but I’d guess that the next time they do, it will be at some large, nightmare festival like ACL.  They’ll be the next big thing, but you’ll be sweating and covered in dust or manure, seeing them from 1,0000 feet away, and wondering why you didn’t go to their show at the Parish when you had the chance.   Let’s avoid that situation, shall we?
