Endiana CD Release Party
Saturday, May 17, 2014
Rathskeller Biergarten
401 E Michigan St - 21+, 8:00 - 11:00 PM
Endiana reminds me of one of those great rock and roll Broad Ripple-based bands that I used to see at the Patio and the Vogue in the 1980s and 90s. Great musicians playing original music with their hearts on their sleeve and guitars on their hip. Endiana is made up of Tim Fuller, Tim Gray, Doug Henthron, and Matthew Aaron - all talented musicians. They are celebrating the release of their newest record, This Means War.
Speaking of late-great Broad Ripple rock bands, Jason Brown, front man of the popular 1990s band Push Down and Turn will open the show.


Zero Boys
Saturday May 24th, 2014
Indy CD & Vinyl
806 Broad Ripple Ave - free, all-ages, 7:00 - 9:00 PM
Yowza! This will be fun. From 1979 - 1983 the Zero Boys were THE hardcore/punk band in the Midwest and toured all over the country opening for legendary bands, including the Dead Kennedys. I have glorious memories of dancing wildly at sweat-soaked shows during that era.
Bootleg tapes (yes, tapes) were cult classics, and listened to reverently for the last three decades. Their record, Vicious Circle, was re-released in 2009 and their music was introduced to another generation. After a couple European tours and east coast shows over the last five years, they are playing shows on the west coast in support of their new album, Monkey. They will end the tour with a show on Indy CD & Vinyl's new stage.
This promises to be an amazing show. Go. You won't be sorry.


Hoosier Favorite?
NUVO's Best of Indy voting
Now through - May 31, 2014
NUVO newsweekly's annual "Best of Indy" poll is open now through the end of the month. This is your chance to vote for Broad Ripple as the best neighborhood, and for your favorite Broad Ripple shops, restaurants, record stores, parks, hairdressers, and me!
No one is more surprised than I am that I was nominated in the "Best Local Personality You Want at Your Next Dinner Party." I'm truly enjoying the honor of being nominated. You can find my category under the Social section. You can vote daily (you only have to register the first time you vote) - so vote early and often - it would be great to have strong Broad Ripple representation in all of the categories.





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.
