Cream Calendar Don't Techno for an Answer: Noise Legends Noise Nomads and Lazy Magnet to Play Dino's Tomorrow, Jan. 26
Posted by Leslie Keffer on Wed, Jan 25, 2012 at 8:00 AM
Lazy Magnet is Providence, RI's own Zappa. “The Mag” is actually Jeremy Harris, a known heartbreaker, vagabond and talented musician and songwriter, who often performs with friends or current girlfriends or even ex-girlfriends, but this Thursday, he will be performing solo. You never know what to expect from a Lazy Magnet show. He may play naked for four hours, play the harshest noise you've ever heard, or he may play the most solemn songs about love and heartbreak, or he'll play a cold-wave set or techno. Seriously, this dude has every genre covered. For his set at Dino's, he will be returning to his days of straight-up noise, in response, perhaps, to the growing number of drum machines and techno-influenced styling of noise artists. However, Harris requested that local drum-beat banshee, Unicorn Hard-On, play the show because “She killed 2011.”
Locals Hobbledeions and Unicorn Hard-On round out the evening, and Trafficker may make a special appearance. Donations will be collected for the touring bands, and the show will kick off about 10 p.m.

I was really into this until: "the show will kick off about 10 p.m." :(
Am I living in a town full of people running perpetually on 4 hours sleep?

dislikeNashville shows tend to start at what we call "rock o'clock" - meaning, essentially, whenever the bands feel like playing, meaning whenever enough people show up. it's quite a paradox. starting shit always promptly at 9 means the opening bands will more than likely plan for an empty room - but then also, maybe people would show up earlier if they knew they were going to miss the band?
so the proper answer is much like the one you'd get from Comcast. The show will start between the hours of 8 and 10.
i can't speak for the rest of Nashville, but the east side does indeed seem to be stocked with folks who either function on 4 hours, work shifts that don't start until the afternoon, or don't work "real" jobs at all and drink until last call more or less every night. it's quite the bohemian utopia we've got over here.
Why not just charge a cover instead of taking "donations" at these shows? Either the should should be free or there should be a set price to get in. I hate going to shows like this and getting harrassed to pay a "donation". Why don't you look up the word "donation" in the dictionary and then look up the words "cover charge" and decide what you sould properly call your entrance fee to "noise" shows.
well sometimes the venue doesnt want youto charge a cover if it were up to me, it would be $5
so bring a $5 donation
why is noise so different from other music? I don't understand paying as much as you can instead of charging a flat rate. What's with this "starting when people show up" thing? I am just so confused.
@leslie keffer, if it is a "donation" then paying would be optional,correct? In other words you don't have pay to get in and you would only make a "donation" if you wanted to.
