Music Highlights
Sa
10/20: “The Freewheeling” YO la TengO, aT The Colony
Cafe, WOODSTOCk- Much beloved and well-seasoned, Yo La Tengo has
always been one of those bands that seems like they’re just
goofing around, but it always works. On the “freewheeling”
tour, the band has selected more intimate environments, using mostly
acoustic instruments, telling stories about the band, and encouraging
audience participation. Still touring their latest I Am Not Afraid
Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass, and armed with a killer back catalog,
this is a don’t-misser. Colony Café, 22 Rock City Rd.,
www.colonycafe.com,
845.679.5342, shows at 8 & 11 PM.
Su
11/4: Agnostic Front aT The Chance Theater, Poughkeepsie- It takes
a lot of balls, perseverance, and stamina to survive as a hardcore
band for any significant length of time. Try doing it for 25 years.
New York’s Agnostic Front haven’t sold out, made millions,
and started screwing junkie models. . . they’re just as hard,
spicy, and pissed off as ever, and have been since 1982. Catch them
at the Chance’s almost perfect moshpit with Death Before Dishonor,
Seventh Star, and All Out War. 6 Crannell St., Poughkeepsie, www.thechancetheater.com,
845.471.1966, call for times.
Fr
10/26: Blue lOu Marini aT Jack& Luna’S Café, Stone
Ridge- With a career that spans everything from playing and recording
with Steely Dan, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, the Rolling Stones,
Dr. John, and Frank Zappa, to writing for film and television, to
long-term stints with the Saturday Night Live Band and the Blues
Brothers, saxophonist Blue Lou Marini brings his considerable bag
of tricks to Jack and Luna’s, a Stone Ridge favorite that
is steadily becoming a reliable source for combo jazz in the Hudson
Valley. With the high-quality house band [pianist Mike Kull, bassist
Charlie Knicely, and drummer Chris Bowman], this promises to be
a hot one. 3928 Main St. [Rte. 209], Stone Ridge, 845.687.9794,
7:30 and 9 PM.CONTINUE...
