Rockers Magic Jackson win 2008 Dayton Band Playoffs

By Don Thrasher

Contributing Writer

Monday, September 22, 2008

Local duo The Joose Box brought its "A" game to the finals of the 25th annual Dayton Band Playoffs at Canal Street Tavern on Saturday, Sept. 20, delivering two sets of piano based pop-rock before a packed house.

However, Magic Jackson, which only formed in early June, was equally amped for the occasion, dropping a pair of groove-heavy sets that got the crowd moving. Both acts performed with passion and drive, and both attracted large crowds, but in the end only one act could win.

And on this night, it was Magic Jackson, taking top honors by only four votes, placing the group alongside past Dayton Band Playoff winners such as Audible Influence, Brainiac, Shrug and Mona.

Aluminum ... it's not just for foil [things to do]

The Aluminum Show

Steel yourself for this space-age mix of Blue Man Group, Cirque and Stomp. The offbeat production is no musical, although music is part of it. "The Aluminum Show" is a combination of dance, design, optical illusion, visual gag, sculpture, puppeteering and pantomime. The six cast members and four stage assistants in it manipulate or wear various-sized Slinky-like ducts, tubes and other metallic objects and shapes. It's the next attraction in the Broadway series at the Victoria Theatre, First and Main streets, running through March 21. More »

LIke Asian food? Here are some restaurants worth trying [restaurants]

Asian food

The Miami Valley's Asian dining scene continues to welcome impressive newcomers as it blossoms and diversifies. Dayton-area Asian food enthusiasts now have access to great diversity of dishes and cuisines. Chinese cuisine dominated the Asian dining landscape 20 years ago and remains a potent force. But today there are far more Thai and Korean options available locally, and Vietnamese and Japanese restaurants, including sushi bars, have increased. Here's a sampler platter of a few of the relatively new (or newer) Asian restaurants well worth trying. More »
