Gah, too busy this week. Trying to keep up with a sub gig, FAWM.org, and two custom-publication books leaves me a little drained. Such is life. Here's what's going on with music in my neighborhood this weekend:

The big shows this weekend in Fountain Square is tonight with Toxic Reasons, DV, Harley Poe, and Vodka DeMilo at Radio Radio. Bigger Than Elvis plays there tomorrow. And spiritual Fountain Squarians Born Again Floozies play at the Super Bowl Village tomorrow. Too much going on this weekend with the Super Bowl - I just did the Oak Tree at The Time's show, and a Jimmy Fallon taping is next. Take care and be safe, all!
This post at cnn.com might be driving some new traffic to the site, so let me take a moment to re-introduce myself and state the purposes and intentions of this blog.
My name is Ryan Williams. I write and play bass, not necessarily in that order. And I make my home in the beautiful Fountain Square district of Indianapolis, source of much art, culture, entertainment, fine cuisine, and loud rehearsal noise emanating from my neighbor's house.
The reason that story came out this week was, of course, because of the huge party we're throwing for Super Bowl XLVI this year, and because we want to let everyone know what Indianapolis has to offer. Fountain Square is but a quick trip from downtown, there will be shuttle buses, and I bet the bike taxis will even trek down here. Let me know if you have any questions or just want to hear me lay down a groove for a bit. I will accommodate all reasonable requests.
Radio Radio has Quiet Corral, Kopecky Family Band, and Jascha tonight.
Indy's Jukebox appears to be off of live music for a couple of weeks, according to their website.
The Hoosier Dome presents The Goodnight Fields w/ White Rock Scratch and Unstable Faultline tonight. Tomorrow, take in We Came From Nowhere, As The Fallen Rise, Of Sights and Sounds, Disaffected, Prague, and It's Safe, I Swear.
The White Rabbit Cabaret brings in Woodstove Flapjacks String Band and the Whiskey Bent Valley Boys tonight
It's Swing Night at the Fountain Square Theater with The Stardusters.
And there's live lounge and jazz music at The Brass Ring and Maria's Pizza all weekend long. Enjoy!
