Too Music Music 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!
Dammit, Now I Have To Do Something . . .
So I made some noise about solo shows at the end of last year, and I went ahead and signed up for February Album Writing Month as a prompt to write some solo material.
And now I actually have to do it. Crap.
14 songs before the end of the month. Any ideas accepted.
I'm playing with the Loopy HD app for the iPad, which interfaces nicely with the SoftStep - I can choose and mute tracks fairly quickly, and the recording is a simple process. I'm still getting a weird fade in at the beginning of the loops, but I suspect playing with the noise gate will remedy that.
Now I just have to write 14 songs. Dammit.
Welcome, New Friends!
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.
Welcome to Fountain Square, Football Fans!
Even though Indianapolismusic.net has been archived, I'm still getting some inquiries about music in Indianpolis. In this case, a reporter from CNN.com reached out and asked for some advice on getting to good live music in Indianapolis both during and after the Super Bowl. I'll post a link later, but it was nice to brag on our local talent and venues for a bit.
Please also note that it's possible to check out great local music in Indianapolis (and Fountain Square, in particular) by taking the shuttle from downtown to FSQ and back - details can be found here. I thought the Super Bowl Village did a pretty good job of showcasing local talent, but there's always more to be heard.
Fountain Square Music This Weekend
Radio Radio has the weekend off. Kick back and relax.
Indy's Jukebox has the Brassknuckle Boys, Off Balance, and the Brothers Gross tomorrow.
The Hoosier Dome gets down with Earthbound, Only OK, Hooper, and Holy Mackenzie tonight. Tomorrow, it's the return of Caelume with Male Bondage, Marital Roles, Teenagers from Outerspace, and Deadghost.
And there's live lounge and jazz music at The Brass Ring and Maria's Pizza all weekend long. Enjoy!
Fountain Square Music This Weekend
Radio Radio presents a big weekend, kicking off with Clemency, Neon Love Life, and The Bonesetters for tonight's First Friday events. Tomorrow, Bigger Than Elvis returns along with PK and the Big Stir.
Indy's Jukebox puts on a big loud show tonight with Photian Schism, The Midnight Ghost Train, The B-Movie Monsters, Coffinsville, and Dead Man's Switch. Tomorrow gets a little punkier with Made Alive, The Guilford Blackouts, and Dastard Lee.
Three big shows at the Hoosier Dome this weekend - tonight features Atrocities, Sonofabitch, We Must Dismantle All This!, PissArtist, Crude Prunes, Tainted Wisdom, Iafrate, and Smegmaloids. I think that means each band gets a 10-minute set or something. Tomorrow, take in the much more reasonable numbers of The Years To Come, Against the Ropes, Up 2-11, and The Savage Life. Finally, Sunday brings 'round Living and Wrestling, Atlas, Pessoa, and Marital Roles.
And there's always live jazz and lounge music at both Maria's Pizza and the Brass Ring this weekend. Enjoy First Friday!
Fountain Square Music This Weekend
Radio Radio blows out the year in a big way - check out rockabilly stars Deliliah DeWylde and the Lost Boys with Bigger Than Elvis tonight. For New Year's Eve, Toxic Reasons reunites and plays alongside Creepin' Charley and the Boneyard Orchestra, Vodka DeMilo, Dan Glenzig, and *Ask.
Indy's Jukebox has a TON of metal and other loud acts this weekend. Seriously, double-digits of bands and their gear adding up to A TON. Go to their website for all of the details.
The Hoosier Dome has the quasi-opera Bixby Hymns tonight and a NYE party tomorrow with the Last Domino and others.
The Fountain Square Theater has the Kelly Jay Orchestra and more tomorrow night for New Year's Eve.
And there's a ton more happening around the square - whatever you do, take care and be safe while having fun. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you in the coming year, when I will assault you with all manner of bass-related nonsense. Cheers.
Fountain Square Has Music . . .
But it's the holidays, so enjoy the time and listen to the music of your choice. Or, if you're like me and don't really celebrate said holidays, get some Chinese food and listen to the music of your choice.
