Jeff Polish brings his storytelling performance, The Monti, tonight to The Underground (formerly Backstreets) on Battleground Ave. (map)
Two of my favorite people will be telling their particular stories about “firsts” tonight, beginning @ 7:30pm:
Hope to see you there.
A taste of the bands:
Project Tritium: Affectus Incognitus
The Raving Knaves: Big Empty Detroit

Dawn Chorus: Oh Please from Sean Coon on Vimeo.
Dawn Chorus has a music video! A big shout of thanks to Aaron Aadland and Justin Sale for shooting and Jason Pierce for shooting, directing and editing the video. Apparently, it got a bit tricky with the overdubbing, but the final product looks great.
(extra thanks to Andy for framing the open/closing sequences at the last minute)

Amie Street has been a big supporter of our efforts out here to document live performances by local artists. They’ve already included one of our music videos in their Amie Street TV feature and are planning on writing a spotlight post about what we’re doing down here.
Now they’ve upped the ante by giving away FREE MUSIC.
If you don’t already have an Amie Street account, but would like to try out our local artist’s music, the staff at AS has made it ridiculously easy to do so.
Here’s what you do:
Once you finish those three simple steps, your account will have $5 worth of credit and 3 Recs to its name.
Some context about Amie Street’s pricing model: As of this very moment, you could purchase & download three DMP albums for less than $5.
So what do you have to lose?
You can purchase tickets now for the September 12th show.
A few videos from the other night:
Will Ridenour: The Kora from Sean Coon on Vimeo.
Invisible: Binary from Sean Coon on Vimeo.
If you’re a fan of Southern Rock, you’re going to love Possum Jenkins.
The live album, free download, is now up on Last.fm. And if you’d like to directly support the band once you try out their sound — my favorite tunes are Carrborro Nights and Someday — head on over to Amie Street and buy the album for a lot less than you might expect.
It was only a matter of time before Lisa captured a portrait of someone I knew in Greensboro.
Any guesses?
Dudek and crew are the first DMP artists to have to deal with one of Last.fm’s major architectural shortcomings — multiple bands with the same name who share a single profile page.
It’s like the worst form of forced cohabitation you can imagine online.
Anyway, go check out the album for free. And if you get the urge to support the band directly, click the “buy” link to get the tracks from Amie Street for just over $1 (as of right now).
