The Next Few Days

Hey Now

I am slowly working my way back into Update mode. I have had three trials since late August, one going three weeks. But, I would be remiss to not try to get the word out, BTW, the Update turns 45 on Friday. So, I am not sure what show I will attend, but I have many ones to partake in.

I will not be on Email from Tonight through Sundown tomorrow. It is Yom Kippur and I will definitely be going into some prayer. I take this time to pray for myself and also my community

Anyhow, here we go . . .

TONIGHT

MSTRKRFT ROYAL OAK MUSIC THEATRE

Sonya Kitchell The Ark

TOMORROW

EOTO w/ Aleph-1 The Blind Pig This is the drum and percussion section of String Cheese Incident. Michael Travis and Jason Hann. This project is a radical departure of what they did with their former band. This is all electronica and ambiance. If you want to dance your ass off, go to this show. These guys were a late night favs during the past two festival seasons. http://www.myspace.com/eotomusic

Ben Folds The Fillmore

Stereolab The Crofoot

Joe Satriani and Mountain Royal Oak Music Theatre

October 10-Miko Day ;>)

Mason Jennings-A Live Nation Feature Show St Andrews My source, Monica Baker at LN, sent me a special email on this one. Apparently, this singer song writer has been doing quite a bit for himself. From being hand selected to play some Dylan tunes in a movie to being back by Jack Johnson, I am seeing this man has been quite busy. Here is a nice article on him. www.jambase.com/Artists/11423/Mason-Jennings/Bio

Macpodz The Blind Pig You all know I love these boyz So does Moe who had them on their last tour. This past year, the Podz have started to blast off on the national scene. Huge festivals and major inroads in the west and the northeast. I am fearing the day will come soon, when we will not be able to see them at the Pig.

Covert Operations The Small Planet East Lansing. I usually do not post a show out of SE Michigan. But shoot, I love Dal and the boyz and really to see the name SMALL PLANET on any website just tickles me. Truth be told, the Update graced the stage of a few incarnations of the Small Planet as one of the percussionist with Assembly Required on sitting in with Bop Harvey, Pickle Brown Betty or the Jah Kings Gone are the dayz . . .

October 11

Brando and Friends Dino's Ferndale Brando is still playing all things Jerry Garcia. He recently has been working in some of his originals from the Electric Magi days. Also some new originals. BTW, the Update has been known to sit in with this band, particularly when they are playing at Dinos.
