The Bass Geek

While I was unable to make the Illinois-based Meshell Ndegeocello and Dethklok shows earlier this week, I’m being promised a huge cornucopia of music in this weekend of festivity and thanks. Tonic Ball take over Fountain Square this very evening, with a bunch of local folks re-purposing songs from Madonna and the Clash for their own beneficial whims. I’m also considering a road trip tomorrow evening for the Stefon Harris show - Purdue did a great thing in getting him to come to Indiana, although it’s too bad he couldn’t be convinced to make an Indianapolis stop. Admittedly, it’d be hard to get a nine-piece ensemble on the Jazz Kitchen stage. Then, Sunday evening brings Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings to town (see previous blog post re: my feelings on that matter). Busy weekend - the dog is going to miss us, I think.
