The Old Lady: At Large

Ashley Street Station, Music

The Old Lady went out on the town tonight.

The Remedy 031414

First she went to 306 North restaurant in downtown Valdosta to hear The Remedy, a duo consisting of Chip Tanner on guitar and Bill Vendemo on percussion. The Remedy has a folky, laid back feel with tight harmony between the two men’s voices. Vendemo, who is one of the happiest looking musicians around, describes their song selections as “crowd pleasers, picking from every genre.” The sound is low-key enough so as to not drown out a rather sedate crowd of upscale diners, but provides a nice background for dinner.

Then the Old Lady stumbled upon a carnival! It was just one of those parking lot affairs with the obligatory Ferris wheel, funnel cakes, and cotton candy, but the lights were lovely against a clear spring sunset.

Ashley Street Station was the next stop, for the CD Release Party for the band Made Ready.
OMG, this band ROCKS! One of their originals in particular, Brand New, is as good as anything the Old Lady has ever heard… and she can certainly relate to the lyric “I’m not brand new.” This is straight up, hard driving rock with the heavy melodic elements that make the Old Lady scream along.
You can hear Made Ready’s new album at https://play.spotify.com/album/0BOVz5abbdlZQj1eGQOQ7o
but better yet, you should buy the download. These guys are rocking their asses off, they certainly rocked the Old Lady’s ass off, and they deserve your financial support.
Made Ready also does covers of their favorite band, Thin Lizzy (lead guitar/singer Justin Gray told me once that the band had “Thin Lizzy-envy”).
And here’s the real deal about live LOCAL music, as opposed to the hotshot big-name arena groups: after the set the Old Lady walked up to the stage, fist-bumped the lead guitar/singer, looked him in the eye and said “DAMN! That was good!” You’ll never get to do that to Steven Tyler or Mick Jagger.

A musician friend, Joe Smothers, does a thing on Facebook that the Old Lady really appreciates.
He posts videos of himself, performing. He sings and plays his guitar, just like you would see him live on stage. No post-production, no glitzy effects, no “do-overs”… if he makes a mistake, it stays in. “That’s what happens during a live performance,” he told the Old Lady recently.
This is the kind of thing the Old Lady values on Facebook. Not “Shares”, not re-posts of funny videos (something that happened to somebody somewhere), not cute kitten pictures of unknown kitties, but real original material.

The Great Guinness Toast

Ashley Street Station, Music

Continuing her search for cultural treasures in Valdosta, GA, the Old Lady attended a global event this evening: her favorite dive bar, Ashley Street Station (ASS), hosted the local participation of the Great Guinness Toast, an annual world-wide effort to perform a simultaneous toast by the largest number of people for the Guinness Book of World Records (duh!).

The annual Toast is held on the 13th of February, and in Valdosta the moment of toasting hit at 11 p.m. where 24 toasters raised their glasses at ASS. In other time zones, of course, the hour varies… in Sochi, Russia, the Toast was held at 8 a.m. A mite early for Guinness but as Sheryl Crow sang, “I like a good beer buzz, early in the morning…” Okay, okay purists, so Guinness isn’t technically a beer but an Irish Dry Stout. Forgive the Old Lady, she prefers PBR anyway.

Playing tonight at ASS was the West Virginia Slims, a local band that put the “rock” in “rockabilly.” Mike Tappan, Zane Ally, and Dudley Johnson played a straightforward rockabilly first set but their second set got down and funky and rocked the Old Lady’s world, especially the song about Tallahassee.
West Virginia Slims plays every Tuesday night at the Bleu Pub in downtown Valdosta.

Ashley Street Station

Fun, Music

Ashley Street Station is no longer on Ashley Street.
The Old Lady loved that hole-in-the-wall dive bar. The constant stream of live bands, local and imported, helped her maintain a shred of sanity when she first moved to Valdosta.
So she was saddened to hear the place had moved.
However, she is happy to report that the new location on Baytree near VSU is comfortably familiar. Same guitars on the wall interspersed with posters of ate-up looking punk stars of the past.

Next up, Sin, a local Valdosta band. Again, a duo. But this guitarist is totally manic, a crazy man onstage. His name is Jimi Davies. He introduced a song about Aldous Huxley’s book “Doors of Perception” which he says he read last year, which the Old Lady read in 1968. Everything old is new again. Anyway, Jimi is a one-man wall of sound, backed up by Rred Freeman on drums. Their next gig is at the Bleu Pub on February 15, and the Old Lady plans to be there.

Kyle Chamberlain
Kyle Chamberlain

Last on the bill: Kyle Chamberlain and the Dirty Birds. Kyle has been out of town for a while, and he has gotten even better than the last time the Old Lady had the pleasure of hearing him. This band gets down and funky with some southern whiteboy dirty blues that had the Old Lady yelling “Collard greens!”
If you get a chance to hear the Dirty Birds, go! Listen to the Old Lady!

 

The Old Lady is a Punk

Fun, Music, Spirituality

Where is my CD now?

Last night’s show (see previous post “Wet Nurse ROKZ!”) brought up fond memories of a band from the Old Lady’s Florida daze.
Frog & Flower was an alt rock band performing around the Bradenton/Sarasota/Tampa area during the ‘90s (that’s LAST millennium, kids). A friend’s daughter, Lova Michelle, played lead guitar. During their most punk phase their big number was a cover of the Batman theme with a punk grrl twist. You know the tune: da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da BITCH GRRL….

A couple of months later, all the grrls turned Zen Buddhist and changed the band’s name to Chime. They swapped their black leather for gauzy robes and performed ethereal tunes with lots of bells and hand drums.
Now the Old Lady is all for spiritual enlightenment.
But the punk in her misses Frog & Flower.

There are those who think that south Georgia is a cultural backwater, where only deer hunting and country music break up the tedium of cotton and peanut farming.
They are wrong.
Tonight at Red Door Records in Valdosta, the Old Lady rocked out to a live show by the all-girl garage band Wet Nurse.
They can call it Garage Pop if they like, but the Old Lady called it Pure Punk and loved every slamming screaming bit of it.

Thanks to Jessica of Red Door Records for bringing this band in!
