Rememberance Day = Show Hoppping??

It's Rememberance Day today that means it's a holiday. That also means that we can never forget what our fathers, grandfathers, brothers, and sisters have done for us and our country. From war to volunteering our vets are an important fabric in our society thus we honour them all on a special day - Rememberance Day Nov 11th.

Being that it was a holiday it seems all major players in the promotions game decided to throw their own parties. There's a lot of shit to check out tonight and here are my picks:

Start: Marnie Stern @ Biltmore (Timbre)
Marnie Stern - Ruler / z/s/h/a/r/e



Gang Gang Dance are also on the bill but Marnie Stern and her virtuosity of the guitar will be a hard act to follow. This show could possibly be stolen by the opener.

(edit: Marnie Stearn did NOT steal the show - I left during the intermission before Gang Gang Dance but I heard they killed it)

Middle: Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson @ Media Club (Sealed With A Kiss)
Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson - Buriedfed / z/s/h/a/r/e
Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson - Woodfriend / z/s/h/a/r/e
Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson - The Debtor / z/s/h/a/r/e

These 3 songs are perfect for showing off the range and styles of M.B.A.R. (terrible - I know). Throughout the quiet strength of Buriedfed, the hard hitting 70s rock of Woodfriend, and the pop sensibilities of The Debtor you begin to realize the talents of Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson. He never loses his identity nor his voice. It is the music that is set to match his milk and delivery man never misses a beat.

(edit: I left Biltmore to catch Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson but missed him.  Castanets were good - not I gotta listen to their album. Note: It is incredibly difficult for a new artist to have such a developed sense of self and voice on his debut album but Miles did it and that's the truth about his brilliance)

End: Digable Planets @ Commodore (Tigerstone, Gman & Rizk, Spectrum, Livenation)
Digable Planets - Rebirt of Slick (Cool Like Dat) / z/s/h/a/r/e
Digable Planets - 9th Wonder / z/s/h/a/r/e

Digable Planets were part of the trailblazers in the jazzy hip hop movement. Other leaders included A Tribe Called Quest, Pete Rock & CL Smooth. Classic shit. Serious.

(edit: Digable Planets will be up tomorrow - sorry)
