Seeing this band for almost free (just tip donations) is a gift this time of year, if anything else. By “free,” you should consider they are broke musicians (I can relate) and want to record themselves, which isn’t cheap, either. Your money won’t be going to the bar (door money, that is) but will be helping out a group that wants to head up to Piper’s Opera House in Virginia City in January to archive their sound for all time! They might consider making songs for you to purchase for your own future enjoyment, as well.
So on December 26th and St. James Infirmary on California Ave, bring a generous spirit, have some libations and enjoy one of Reno’s most original eclectic rock bands around! You’ll be helping them take the next step. The show starts at 8pm.
And no, they won’t be playing on the roof. This would be terrible for all involved this time of year.
See you there!

The Electric Circus was dreamed up by Johnny Harpo, of the illustrious Reno band, Groovebox Replica, back when he was playing as, “King Cloud Harpo.” Bands, people and sounds change, this is a fact. The newest inception of sound coming from Johnny and Wes Harpo (dynamic brother duo) is The Madorians.
We had the honor of playing with these boys at the Urban Jungle as In Space With Lasers, and you’re going to like their psychedelic, somewhat early-metal, danceable sound. They’re not just bullshitting you with cover songs and crappy 1970’s guitar licks, they really do put a whole new edge on rock and roll of yesteryear while still keeping it relevant and real for us here in the futureworld of 2009.
Joining them will be a whole host of musical genre attack, from bands like the funky “What It Do,” alt-rockin’ with “The I Knows,” pirate stepping with “The Deadly Gallows,” cheery times with “Valmar Place,” and many more! There will be ample artwork, luminous lightwork, and 360′ degrees of interesting times. Since this is an all-ages gig, everyone will be able to participate.

It’s going to be a fun one!

Reno. One night only. The interesting aural introspective of Berkeley crazyman known as The Polish Ambassador and Ample Mammal, doing it live. Nadanight Presents “Ambassadors of Dada.” From some of the crazy-ass folks that gave you the Dada Hotel, a musical night of electronica, electro-rap, and synthesis.
Special guests Process Evolution Collective and their oh-so-positive-you’ll-cut-off-your-leg-and-give-it-to-an-amputee style lyrics, and In Space With Lasers, showing you what cheap, creepy bastards can do with $100, an attitude and some electricity.
Home-spun sound with a worldly nod to whatever.
