Buzzing Around Town

Musical Tribute to the Vocal Great Cynthia Layne
Friday, February 17, 2017
The Jazz Kitchen
5377 College Ave - 21+, doors 5 PM, show 7:30 PM, $15
It has been two years since Cynthia Layne died and so many of us have fond memories of her. In the early days of this column - volume 4 - I wrote, "it does not get any classier than the beautiful Cynthia." She was so sweet and thanked me each time was saw each other after that.
She is missed by her adoring fans and the whole jazz community. Her longtime collaborators, Rob Dixon, Kenny Phelps, and Reggie Bishop will be paying a musical tribute her.
If you never had the pleasure of meeting Cynthia, this will be a great evening to learn more about her fabulousness.


The History of Indianapolis Punk Rock (and beyond*)
Friday, March 3, 2017
Circle City Industrial Complex
1125 Brookside Avenue - all-ages, free, 6-10 PM
Things like this give me justification for my habit of hanging onto things way too long. I've packed and hauled a file folder of punk rock show flyers through at least a dozen moves (including one out of state).
There was creativity with a dash of the practical in making a flyer to promote a band and a show. The typical flyers were created on an 8 ½ x 11-inch piece of paper so they could fit on the Xerox machine. I was never the flier creator - my specialty was making buttons with my Badge-A-Minit pinback button press. I was however, a champion flyer hanger. Have tape, will travel.
The exhibition will feature not only flyers, but photographs and historical information from the Indianapolis punk rock scene in the late 1970s through the 1980s in Satch Art Space and the adjacent Stokol Gallery.
History of Indianapolis Punk Rock (and beyond*) show will hang at the Circle City Industrial Complex from March 3 - 31. There will be an opening party on First Friday, March 3, with a performance by Indianapolis band, Cheetah Priest - the band debuted at the Tonic Ball in November. A display of historic punk records and ephemera will be shown by Indiana Music and Entertainment Museum.
I have loaned my collection to exhibit, I'm not sure if any will be on display, but I can't wait to see the collection.
The exhibition in the Stokol Gallery will be open weekdays, 9 am to 5 pm, from March 3 through March 31, 2017. A special showing will be on Sunday, March 12, from 10 am to 4 pm.
*well, at least to Bloomington and Lafayette. . .



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.
