the Weird Beards — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 07:51:09 +0000

It’s that time of year again, Beardo’s. The Hygenic Art Show is opening the final weekend in January, and that means that some of New London’s finest musical acts will be gathered to perform at the annual “Rock Fix”. The Weird Beards are happy to be a part of this event for the second year in a row! After opening the Rock Fix last year, the Beards will complete the year-long bookend, and close the show this year, starting at 12:15AM!!

In following the years past tradition, accompanying the Rock Fix event will be the release of Cosmodemonic Telegraph’s compilation album of New London affiliated bands, entitled “Powers”, and an accompanying collection of A and B side singles from all the artists featured on the “Powers” album. The Beards would like to thank Rich Martin for putting together this album and for including us for a second year running.

We look forward to seeing you on the 30th! Good night, from the Weird Beards!! Over and out!!! 10-4

Hot Rods tonight and Plymouth Shenanigans to follow soon after!

Antifolk Festival

Sidewalk Café

Sidewalk Café; Fri 7–Aug 16

For a quarter century, artists working the margins of New York music have clustered under the Antifolk rubric, a broad scene that keeps a safe haven in the back of the East Village’s Sidewalk Café. As the leather-jacketed warriors parading St. Marks Place have given way to the gentler souls of Bedford Avenue, the Antifolk world has remained a persistent alternative: less a stylistic meeting ground than a free-for-all built from the democracy of the open mike. It is no coincidence that the luminaries sprung from this world—Beck, the Moldy Peaches, Nellie McKay, Regina Spektor—have all been stubborn aberrations, unattached to any larger cultural movement.

Randomly dropping by Sidewalk can be a risky endeavor: Not every performer is the world’s next Beck. A smart time to pop in is during the Antifolk Festival, which takes over the club for a week or so every August. This year’s lineup reflects the breadth inherent to this creative bloc. It includes some reigning stars: Jason Trachtenburg and his daughter, Rachel, of the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players, perform on Saturday 8, and Larkin Grimm, an astonishingly slanted folksinger, plays August 16. But the festival extends to a raft of oddballs and miscreants who are less heard and worth hearing. Elizabeth Devlin croons brassy dreams over Autoharp August 14, while Debe Dalton presents old-world banjo laments Saturday 8. Talking Stick pairs the singular performance artists Master Lee and Mr. Patrick August 16. There are also singing rabbis, outsider legends and local nuts—watch your back, Bowery Ballroom.—Jay Ruttenberg
