Gossip and ongoingings
In the spirit of the Oscars and the king of gossip, Ryan Seacrest, I thought I would throw out a few roomers floating around the Dayton rock scene.
The final line-up and schedule was announced for this years South-by-Southwest festival. Space rockers the Lab Partners are the only reps from Dayton playing the famed Austin, Texas music and film festival. They will be playing at midnight on March 17th at Lambert’s in downtown Austin. Visit www.sxsw.com for more info on the line-up or how to buy me a weekend pass so I can see the Lab Partners and a couple hundred other bands from all over the world.
Surfing myspace earlier I came across myspace.com/daytonbands and noticed that they have video posted featuring local rock show promoter PunkNite Mike. In the video, Daytonbands.com interviews Mike “punknite” Durian and he gives his take on the bands to see in Dayton and the history of Punknite.
Dayton indie-pop kings, Mona, have been spending a lot of time in Nashville. The band is scheduled to play next in Dayton at Canal Street on March 10th. After that they are scheduled to play shows in Nashville. The band has been very outspoken about it’s disappointment about Dayton and I wonder if a move is in the future.
Back in December traveling singer/songwriter Paleo travelled through Dayton and performed at the Pearl. He has an on going project he calls a song diary in which he records and writes a brand new song every day while on tour. Visit www.paleo.ws and listen to the song he wrote and recorded in the bathroom at the Pearl back on December 28th. He posts the lyrics to all the tracks he records including the Dayton track entitled Hangwomen.
