This Band Kills Fascists

Look out fascists. This Band Kills Fascists presents a dynamic challenge to your reign.

I saw these guys, when I went to the ZACC basement to hear TSMF. I bring this up now, because they will be in the Palace, another zootown underground venue, on Sunday, November 15. That show will also feature Electric Dandelion, one of my favorite bands. That's tomorrow night, and I apologize for the short notice.

Yes, there are more images of this band and of TSMF, who also played this night, over on the flickr archive.

My class on event photography is Tuesday (11/17) at ZACC. I'm going over my notes and prepping for that. My show opens in the Palace on the First Friday in December. I expect y'all to be there. That show is looking good if I do say so myself. I'm looking forward to the February show in Food for Thought. That one will require a larger outlay of capital to put up, and I don't have the capital yet. In addition, I keep working to document as much of the zootown music scene as I can.

Thank you for visiting the Kitchenpoet.

Saturday Starts with the Markets

Where else would any red-blooded Missoulian start Saturday, except at the markets? On June 11, I guided some friends visiting from Kansas around zootown, and they bought several momentos. After the markets, it was time to eat at the Catalyst.

Somewhere along the way, we saw this sticker.

As the day ended, we approached the underground music scene.

Underground in more ways than one, and a good time was had by all. This was the last performance by Knot Knocked Up.

TSMF Replaces Goddammitboyhowdy

Goddammitboyhowdy failed to appear, again, when I was at the venue on time and waiting. Last time, I arrived at the Lab to be told they wouldn't be showing. I've missed Goddammitboyhowdy (Isn't that a great name?) twice due to scheduling conflicts, when they played the Badlander and the Palace. Sooner or later, I will see them live onstage. In the meantime, I found their CD at Ear Candy for a mere $4.

Back to Saturday, March 28, in the zootown underground, TSMF showed up big time to fill the night's final spot. The big fellow up front is named Charlie, which is a plus in my book, of course. In size and congeniality, he reminds me of Tonsofun. The final result of the evening was I heard for the first time a band, which appears to be an up and comer in zootown.

Enthusiastic TSMF fans get into the act. 

Raw Nerves were the featured act from Portland. Valsalva Maneuver, from Kalispell, opened and were followed by the Juveniles. As usual, there are more images in the flickr archive.
