If you're here Friday night, The John Henrys are playing Zaphod Beeblebrox. They're a really kick-mass straight-up coutnry (almost "alt" country) band.

Aside from that, I haven't seen much (good thing I've got something else to do ). When you get to town, grab a copy of Ottawa XPress to get the full listings; it comes out on Thursdays, and it's free.

Aloha,

Brad

[zephyr]

Apparently there's also a "psychedelic rock fest" at The Bayou on Friday, Aug. 13 and Saturday, Aug. 14, featuring The MoonMovement, PressWon, and Butterflies & Zebras.

I'm not familiar with The MoonMovement, but B&Z can be a lot of fun, especially if you like the Grateful Dead's "space" experiments. PressWon is a hip-hop troupe, and their rapping may not be the best, but the band is pretty good, with some nice grooves.

Aloha,

Brad

don't want to sound like a broken record here, but if anyone sees Del bummin around this weekend could ya let him know to call his friend Julian? the guy won't lay off.

[SaggyBalls]

wow. i hope Del surfaces. When alexis speaks it's generally words of hope and wisdom, not worry.

[B & Z]

MoonMovement have a definite Jefferson Airplane vibe. They play original music with a strong female lead singer and nice harmonies.
