Southeast Music News

Now that Fountain Square is thawing a bit, you can expect more great music to come back to the area. Radio Radio leads off with a great bill on March 6th, featuring The Hard Lessons, My Dear Disco, Javelins, and Great Lakes Myth Society. On March 21st, they feature Brian McGee and The Hollow Speed with Mandy Marie and the Cool Hand Lukes.

Big Car Gallery has one musical event on their calendar, but it's a big one. The entire evening on March 6th is devoted to electronic music and experimental video projects. Expect to see and hear a display you wouldn't ordinarily find on your First Friday outings. And I mean that in a good way.

Sam's Saloon has a packed schedule this spring, kicking off March 4th with Smoke Ring and Bob Wayne and the Outlaw Carnies. From there, indie rock fans should put the March 6th show from the Moon Buggie Kids and The Dig on their calendars, along with the Heavy Hometown, One Happy Island, Sam Eakin and Turophile show on March 14th and The Chairs on March 21st. Fans of a harder style of rock should look for the Devil To Pay, STATE and Admiral of Black show on March 12th and Cursed For Manners and Broken Equilibrium on March 27th. From there, Sam's Saloon switches over to alt-country shows with Nightjar on March 28th, Roothog on April 10th, Ribbonpigeon on April 18th, and Husky Burnette on April 25th. Finally fans of punk will want to check out The Bass Line Bums on April 3rd and Versificators and Bantha Fodder on April 11th.

Deano's Vino continues to host acoustic and jazz music on the weekends, and Maria's Pizza features live jazz on Friday nights. Finally, remember the Fountain Square Theater's Swing Nights on every second and fourth Friday. Enjoy!
