It’s the weekend. You want to go out, but maybe a week of rain storms has left you in a weird mood. Maybe you’re not a people person. Maybe you love people and hate dancing. Maybe you love dancing but don’t have anything to wear. Whatever the case, we’ve got the soundtrack for a perfectly off-kitler party, from cool jazz to dark soul to noise-rock that still manages to be melodic.
On this week’s playlist:
• “Partido,” from the instrumental album Dance In Your Dreams by local artist Michael John Jazz who plays Lex 18 on Sunday, July 27, 7:30-11 p.m.
• “The Big Time,” from Bobby Bare Jr.’s new album, Undefeated. He’ll be at The Grey Eagle on Saturday, July 26, at 9 p.m.
• “In My Dreams” from Shattered by Reigning Sound. That local(ish) garage-rock band performs an all-too-rare show at The Mothlight on Saturday, July 26, at 9:30 p.m.
• “Wine-Dark” by local folk-rockers The Toothe from their Talons EP. They’ll be at The Mothlight on Sunday, July 27, at 9 p.m. with Honey Locust, The Restoration and Fishing for Tigers.
• “Ain’t No Grave” from Into the Missionfield by Drunken Prayer. Morgan Geer of Drunken Prayer plays a free show, with Carey Fridley, on the patio at The Grey Eagle (for “Tacos & Tunes Tuesdays) on Tuesday, July 29, 6-8 p.m.
• “Night Fits” by local experimental/noise artist Wyla, from the album of the same name. Wyla performs with Borrowed Arts and Comet West at The Odditorium on Sunday, July 27, at 9 p.m.
