Yes, that The Late Show! The dreamy guys you remember from playing at your favorite bar when you were in your 20s. They've reunited for a show at the Ale Emporium. The band sounds great and they are still as dreamy as ever. They play a fun mix of originals, classic pop and rock.

Alice Chalmers & the Stick a Cork in Your Jug Band, Old Fair & Square Band, 19Clark25
Friday, August 27, 2010
Locals Only - 2449 E. 56th Street, 8:30 pm, $7, 21+
What exactly is does an all-woman jug band sound like? Gorgeous four-part harmonies, creative instrumentation and a good deal of happy giggling. Alice Chalmers and the Stick a Cork in Your Jug Band is made up of five very talented musicians - Cara Jean Wahlers, Stasia Demos, Jude Odell, Holly Smith, Joni Back-Bubenzer - one budding musician, Tammy Lieber (former Gazette columnist, Tammy's Take) and me, playing the typewriter. I'm just happy these women even let me sit in the same room with them, let alone on stage playing washtub bass and me, playing the typewriter. I'll be the one with my head down, concentrating on hitting the right key. I've got G down pretty good now. We promise big fun, a little kitsch and lots of talent. Maybe we'll even have a jug by then, but a growler seems to work just fine.
Also on the bill are the Old Fair & Square Band and 19Clark25 to balance out all of the girlie goodness on stage.


Dead Beats, The Instructions, The Sundresses, The Locals
Friday, August 27, 2010
Melody Inn - 3826 N. Illinois St, doors 9:00, show 10:00, $5, 21+
What a great lineup! I've had the chance to see Cincinnati's The Sundresses before and loved them. Dead Beats are a great local band, The Instructions hail from Louisville and The Locals are almost local - from Chicago.
The Locals have morphed from an acoustic trio to an electric guitar-driven threesome in the last decade. Band member Yvonne Doll (isn't that a wonderful name?) told me what they love about playing the Melody Inn "is that it's got such an amazing history! Melody Inn is known in the midwest as a kick ass, historic, no-bs kind of place. We love to play there. The staff is super cool, the owner is a great guy. And the crowd that hangs there... very cool, music loving folks. It's always a good time."
I love what I've heard online of The Locals newest EP Salt. Its high-energy poppy fun. And I bet they are even more charming in person.
Yvonne is right - it's sure to be a great night!





Not-for-profit director by day, music writer by night, Nora Spitznogle reviews music that happened and previews music and events around Broad Ripple Village. Nora managed CATH Inc coffeehouse at 54th Street and College Avenue for seven years. During that time she hosted hundreds of local and touring musicians, both at the coffeehouse and her home. When CATH closed in 2004 and the music was no longer coming to her, she had to wander from her corner of Broad Ripple to see what is happening elsewhere. You can find her at Second Helpings during the work day, waitressing at the Red Key on Saturday nights and prowling Broad Ripple music venues the rest of the time.
