You know Joe Romeo - you've seen him with the O.C.V. and many other groups. But this night, he's playing both early and late! Have you ever gotten a double shot of Joe? (sorry, had to do it)
Sunday, 1/11/08, 9:00pm $5 • Jimmy & The Teasers with Billy Joe Winghead
Jimmy & The Teasers is a well executed plan by Jimmy to tour with hot chicks. Billy Joe Winghead are a mess of Fender twang, Gibson crunch and theremin wail.
Tuesday 1/13/09, 7:30pm • Spoken Word with Ben & Marty
From time to time, we here at the Cave turn the stage over to Ben and Marty for spoken word - an art form that simultaneously transcends the differences between cultures and yet serves to bring all of humanity out for a beer together.
Wednesday, 1/14/08, 10:30pm $5 • Pistil with Pink Flag
Pistil are a fun, punk-inspired part-time girl band, part-time boy band (depending on who's in drag) genetically engineered to simultaneously appeal to the nerd and rocker alike! Pink Flag are a regular three girl rhumba dancing on the common ground of a love of early post-punk, riot grrl and top 40 of the 1990s.
Thursday, 1/15/08, 10:30pm • Dead To Society with Have Nots
Dead To Society plays a blend of old school punk, hardcore/metal, and ska. Have Nots play aggressive, rabble-rousing punk rock music, with just enough reggae/ska influence to remain catchy and danceable.
In the mid to late 90's Kenny Roby established himself as one of the main songwriting forces behind the Americana/Roots Rock movement as a founding member of the band Six String Drag. Roby's new album "The Mercy Filter" leans much less on Americana than previous efforts but dips and turns more into straight up rock, experimentation, Beatle-esque grooves, and soulful ballads.
As we've said before: Triple bill = triple threat = triple treat! Shoegazers Mute sound like a loopstation that decided to run itself. Their buddies Goodbye Titan are ghosts playing in a cave, or rain overflowing from the gutters. Natasha El-Sergany takes it as a compliment that all her songs sound like the last one on the record.
You must be 21 or over, Punk! Serving hours: 2:30pm - 2:00am. Early shows: 7:30-9:30. Late shows start at 10:00pm(ish). No advance tickets - sorry, pal.
