Cream Calendar Weekend Round-Up: Tornadic Activity Style! Part 1
Posted by D Patrick Rodgers on Fri, Apr 3, 2009 at 11:16 AM
You know, I fancied myself an amateur storm-chaser/tornado buff when I was a young boy. Then I actually got close to one, and the whole monkey skull-sized hail thing effectively shattered that dream forever. Everybody be careful tonight, and be sure to stay up on the latest warnings and watches. Doppler exists for a reason. Here's what's up:
The Privates' Motion EP Release feat. Hotpipes & Tristen at The Basement. Unless you've been living in a Cream-proof cave for the past month, you're probably aware of this show. You should go.
The Whigs w/Wax Fang & The Ettes at Exit/In. Power trio night! If there's anything I like, it's a solid, rock 'n' roll three-piece.
Dark Meat w/Darla Farmer & The Janissary at The End. Chris Parker sez, "Reminiscent of Polyphonic Spree in sheer spectacle, Dark Meat are their woods-dwelling dark sheep kin, chasing their billowing brain wherever it leads." Dark Sheep Kin? Billowing Brain? I think Chris Parker is a band name-generating machine.
There's a Tin Pan South show at Mercy Lounge feat. Gary Burr, Mark Hudson, Hanson (!) & more. Yes, it's that Hanson. After that there's a Hot Rocks Dance Party for all you youngsters looking to mmmbop a bit.
Lynn Taylor w/The Red Caps & Hot New Singles at The 5 Spot.
There are other Tin Pan South shows occurring at 3rd & Lindsley, Station Inn, The Rutledge, Twelfth & Porter and more. For a full schedule, see TPS' website or check the Scene's online listings. Oh, and the Scott Walker doc at The Belcourt starts tonight. If we don't find ourselves sucked into the belly of a seething twister, we'll be back tomorrow with more stuff. Be safe!

Oh wow, I love the Ettes. Glad I read this because they're not mentioned on the Exit/In marquee. Thank you Nashville Cream. You have made my night.
