OCTOBER at The Camel

by | Oct 5, 2010 | POLITICS

Autumn is a musical season. We don’t know why, but certain melodies, sounds, and songs just seem to stick to fall memories the way orange leaves attach themselves to the bricks on Monument after a rain. As such, we are in the musical memory manufacturing business this month, and we’re just as excited looking at our calendar as a kid in a vampire costume with a pillow case full of candy. October kicks off with a double dose of No BS Brass Band celebrating the release of their new EP, and doesn’t slow down. The Daniel Johnston-trained PALEFACE (once roommate of, and enormous influence on Beck) momentously returns to our stage on the 6th. On the 9th we’re proud to host a Triple Stamp Records showcase, featuring local acoustic legends Homemade Knives, Ophelia, Anousheh Khalili, and Mermaid Skeleton (not to be confused with Meade Skelton). On 10/10/10 local producer Just Plain Ant (who recently worked with Chuck D of Public Enemy) releases his new album. We’ve got a fundraiser for the Crohns and Colitis Foundation of America with an all-star lineup of music and comedy, Tim Barry with Josh Small and Pedals On Our Pirate Ships (POOPS), the WRIR MONSTER MASQUERADE, a Halloween Ho-Down with Jackass Flats, and a Halloween night party with the James Brown inspired The Big Payback and Caulit Anything. In between, our FREE bluegrass happy hour, Beers and Banjos is in full swing from 6-8pm every Friday, and more jazz, folk, hip hop, punk rock, jam bands, and indie music than we can brag about in a press release. We’re like a jack-o-lantern: it’s almost scary how hot we are this month. – The Camel
