10/13/2004: It's So Live...

Hi kids-

Happy hump day to ya. We're halfway to the weekend
already... life is good. In fact, life is especially
good when Soulive is coming to town. The only question
in my mind is one night or two..?

|||||| THURSDAY 10/14 ||||||

Thriving Ivory & Farma @ Red Devil Lounge $8
Rock & roll for the kids. Word is Farma does a great
Wilco-style show.

|||||| FRIDAY 10/15 ||||||

Soulive @ Independent $20
Soooooo live! The kings of soul-jazz are back in town
again! Last show at the Fillmore they absolutely
KILLED it all night long. Don't expect anything less
than 100% intensity from these guys. They're one of my
absolute faves. I'm goin' at least one night, let me
know if you are too!

Broun Fellinis @ Boom Boom Room $10
The Fellinis are an acid jazz trio that does their
thing with some serious soul. A rare guest guitarist
joins 'em for this Boom Boom show.

UFM @ Bruno's $9
I've heard some good things about this 7-piece funk
band with cats from Zigaboo's band, Jazz Mafia, and
Brass Monkey to name a few.
