Cream Calendar Work and Piles at Betty's, Aug. 8
Posted by Matt Sullivan on Wed, Aug 5, 2009 at 8:09 AM
Betty's continues to be the place to get your stuff-that's-noisy fix. This Saturday features the touring combo of San Fransisco's Work and Piles. The former takes the gritty lo-fi you've come to love from the likes of Times New Viking and Wavves but focuses the style more toward skronk than melody. Piles take a similar path, albeit an electronic one, and with a bit more penchant for that melody stuff. I tried to find YouTube footage or anything like that, but those band names aren't particularly Internet friendly.
Opening are locals Hunted Horse, a band that, in another time and place, probably would've been called freak folk. You'd recognize it: singer-songwriter stuff with weirdo tendencies. Also playing are Dude Cruise, featuring former and current members of Bad Friend, High on Life, Big Nurse, Deluxin', BYOP, and a shit ton of other stuff. I haven't heard them yet, but I'll sign up as a supporter based on the name alone.

I would really like to know how people find out about shows at Betty's. They don't seem to flyer, advertise, or have any sort of calendar (online or paper). I've missed a lot of stuff I'm interested in because of this.
I post on here about them whenever I know. There are usually fliers at Betty's, Jack's convenience store on Murphy's, and sometimes there are myspace or facebook bulletins, but not from the Betty's page yet, unfortunately. It would help to come down and meet some people cuz a lot of these shows get spread through word of mouth or text messages.
Speaking of, there's actually going to be a set from Tampa's Pro Bro Gold at Betty's tonight following their show with Skeleton Warrior and Diamond Hymen at Little Hamilton. It will be later in the evening, POSSIBLY around 11 but it's dependent on when the other show winds down. Come on down and check it out!
