Scott Alexander Makes Friends @ Pianos

ael.jpg

In the mood for some quirky indie rock reminiscent of Johnathan Richman and some vegan cookies? Then this is the performer for you he cooks his audience food and performs strange songs on a baritone guitar, I mean check out the reviews:

"The deep, extremely deep subconscious of Scott unveils itself between guitar strings, lyric sheets and cookie dough." Dan Herman

"Scott Alexander doesn't really fit into any categories . . . And he really revels in his cheery awkwardness." Brett McCabe, Baltimore City Paper

... Yup Should be an interesting performance.

Legend of Texas...

Alejandro Escovedo @ Bowery Ballroom

He might be in his mid 40s, but his latest album Real Animal rock harder than anything out on the scene right now. His band is made up of not only two lead guitar players, but a cello and a violin player that play their instruments like rock gods. A really amazing show that should not be passed up.
