Cream Calendar Japandroids vs. Nilsson Tonight
Posted by Steve Haruch on Thu, Jul 2, 2009 at 11:23 AM
On the one hand, you've got Me and My Arrow: Harry Nilsson Tribute Night at Mercy Lounge. It's a benefit show for a local musician--Terry Price of Oblio was recently diagnosed with Bell's palsy--and features a strong lineup of locals in support: Oblio, The Features, Eureka Gold, David Mead, James Wallace & the Naked Light, Heypenny, The Silver Seas' Daniel Tashian, and a supergroup featuring Mike Grimes, The Raconteurs' Brendan Benson, My Morning Jacket's Carl Broemel, Hotpipes' Jon Rogers, and Marc Pisapia. To get you psyched for that one, Out the Other's got a Nilsson mini-mix.
On the other hand, you've got the (maybe just a little bit over-) hyped two-dude guitar-slashing action of Japandroids. And while this show is not a benefit for medical cost, Japandroids singer dude Brian King did suffer a perforated ulcer recently, so they're no strangers to how weak the flesh is. Read Dustin Allen's feature on Post-Nothing here, and/or check out the band playing "Young Hearts Spark Fire."
What's it going to be?

Damn! Carl Broemmel had the biggest moment of the night, and hit it out of the park singing "Without You". I'd rate it as one of the best musical moments I've witnessed all year. Jim James apparently isn't the only member of MMJ with an awesome set of pipes.
