More Music in Fountain Square
Posted in Fountain Square, Local Music, Music in General on November 17th, 2007 by RyanI’m trying to pack in some posts before the Thanksgiving holiday comes upon us and I enter into the traditional yearly coma. Tonic Ball went quite well last night, with highlights including:
- The sly wordplay of Stacia Demos in “La Isla Bonita”
- The always-solid playing of the Benders
- Susan and the Desperate Seekers’ harmonies on “Rain” and “True Love”
- Spot-on Clash covers by Jeff Byrd and the Wingmen (”Train in Vain”) and The Common (”London Calling”)
The crowd seemed much more attracted to the Clash side of things - there were plenty of folks in both venues, but there always seemed to be a line in front of Radio Radio.
Speaking of Radio Radio, proprietor Tufty is looking to open a new all-ages venue just a few blocks from his current venue. Contact him for more info or if you’re interested in helping. Tack on the re-opening of Sam’s Saloon at the corner of Prospect and State, and you’ve got quite a few options for venues that regularly host music. Cognizant Coffee Company is also hosting a new open mic night every second Friday of the month. Not that I’ll be skipping out on the other Indy venues, but it’s fantastic to have so much available within a short walking distance.
