Notes: Pre-show edgys had me leary if this show would ever jell. I imagined listeners were baffled as tonight's first set actualized a continuation of Japanese music. It was just Ukulele Loki reminising his recent trip to Japan where he somehow found a great record emporium selling super clean 78s. Uncle Jeff was intreged by the Japanese cover art while simutanously searching his bag for some way to make a musical link.

Meanwhile Eric Lowe warmed up his Guild D25 in the hallway. As Richmond Fontaine's cover of, "Made in Japan" played Eric slipped into the studio, took a seat and pel mel the interview began. Eric is a confident musician and lead man for the band Local 33. Local 33's first full length CD, "Hearts That Bend," has been in the works for about 2 years and will be released this Saturday, April 9 at Benders Tavern, then available in stores the following Monday. Eric played acoustic versions of, "Hold Your Own" and "Jesus," which conveyed the beautiful simplicity of the electric CD versions.

Uncle Jeff seemed possessed by tombstone vigilantes, spotlight nightsticks, oil derricks and the smell of Texas propane lingering in his luggage. Somewhere mid-show I recall a strange moment of sad silence pondering the, "generation of no records."

Get ready for
