I’ve slacked a bit on my self-styled show promotion, but I’d just like to remind people of a great show coming up. Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson will performing at the Gypsy Hut this Sunday, August 31. His album is fantastic and the show is free. If you’re in town, I don’t see how you have many excuses to not come. Because I know it’s tough to go into something knowing nothing about an artist, here’s a music video and a couple tracks to get you started. I strongly suggest that you get your rears down to the Gypsy Hut on Sunday. Fun media time after the jump! Continue reading
As a big follower and lover of music I find that there is one thing semi-frustrating about Cincinnati shows. Actually, let me rephrase that already, it’s both endearing and frustrating. What is this thing, you ask? The turnout at shows that come through these parts. For example, take the Holy Fuck show a few months ago. Now, to put a little perspective on this, the two or three times I’ve tried to see them outside of Cincinnati, be it in Seattle or DC, the shows have been sold-out. When they played at the Gypsy Hut recently I would have put the attendance somewhere around 30 people. Really guys? C’mon. I know there are more than 30 people in Cincinnati who like Holy Fuck. Even if you’ve never heard of them, just trust me, there are more than 30 people in the city who like them. The same thing happens every time I’ve seen Dead Meadow here. They are generally a sell-out-crowd band, but here were talking about the Southgate House being at half-capacity. We’re lucky their drummer is from here and that he likes to stop by home while on tour. [First a fun little rant, then a helpful 2-week calender]
