An amazing show on an amazing bill with The Thin Man, The Bitter Tears, and headlining that evening will be Pat MacDonald of Timbuk3 (you remember "The Future's So Bright...I Gotta Wear Shades"?) with a solo act that you won't believe is just one man! Doors open at 9pm and the show starts at 9:30 sharp...don't be late!!!

The Voodoo Organist
One of MK Magazine's favorite comntempory artists willl be playing Chicago on Friday April 22 at the Exit 1315 W. North Ave. Chicago www.exitchicago.com
The Voodoo Organist (Scott Wexton) is touring the states in support of his third CD, “Holy Ghost Town,” was released February 15, 2005 on his newly renamed label, Voodoo Man Music, and is again being distributed by Dead Teenager Records.
It’s his most potent album to date, with 13 tracks that samba and slither through a decadent palette of musical styles. Using a whiskey-soaked growl, a vintage organ with bass pedals, a theremin and various rhythm devices, Wexton tells tales of sin and temptation, drugs and debauchery, murderous stalkers and lonesome highways; and through it all you will want to dance like the Devil.

Andrew Bird Record Release Show!
Chicago Record Release & Live Show @ The Metro
for "The Mysterious Production of Eggs"
Advance tickets available at Hi Fi Records for no surcharge.
w/ Archer Prewitt and Clyde Federal
"As one of the most talented artists of this generation...
This show cannot be missed." - HoneyWired
Mr. Bird releases his first studio album in nearly two years, The Mysterious Production of Eggs, on Righteous Babe Records in the US and Fargo records in Europe. The album follows Weather Systems, his mini-LP, released in 2002 / 2003.
The recording sessions for Eggs saw Bird scrap the album three times and travel between studios in Chicago, Los Angeles and his own home studio on a farm in Northern Illinois. The album took final shape with the production help of David Boucher whose credits include Randy Newman and Paul Westerberg.
The record deals with nothing less than the mysteries of childhood, creativity and modern science - epic in scope and minute in detail. It is accompanied by artwork and illustrations for every song by accomplished Chicago based artist Jay Ryan. Equally unusual is Bird’s solo live show at which, with the aid of a sampling pedal, the songwriter takes his often dense, orchestrated recordings and rewrites them anew each night, adding layers of fiddle, electric guitar, and glockenspiel to his vocals and whistling. Bird has toured extensively over the past year throughout the US and Europe with kindred spirits the Magnetic Fields, My Morning Jacket, Lambchop and Ani DiFranco.
