J.D. Whittenburg / Cowpilot / Airline / Triangleheads

Join J.D. Whittenburg in his second to last week as Club Dada’s Artist in Residence. He’s claiming that this week he’ll wow us with some sort of fat ’70’s Elvis re-enactment in addition to some yummy Trainwreck songs and oh-so wonderful new stuff. On a special note Mr. Whittenburg’s Trainwreck boys will be there which means our favorite Monkeyboy, aka Bobby Sue, aka Rob the Fiddler will be on hand to add his own special flavor of greatness to the mix.

Next week will be J.D.’s last week as Artist in Residence so if you miss it tonight, you’ll have one more chance to repent sinner and redeem yourself.

Tonight’s Listening To: is packed with a wallop and lots of aviation themes for some reason…

Cowpilot will start things off with their very special mix of “techno-throwback cutting edge hillbilly rockin’ twang.”

Next, local darlings, AIRLINE, are back with a new lineup. Chris Carmichael has moved to drums from bass, Robby Holley is still singing lead but now plays bass, Ryan Smith remains on keys, and Will Woolsey still on lead guitar. As a four-piece, the result is a streamlined, more even sound allowing each magnificent part to shine and stand out.

Then we’re gonna shake things up a bit and throw you a little something unexpected. Pilot of Kite (see aviation theme) and Children 18:3. Both bands have been touring together for quite some time now. Think kinder, gentler punk and rock. CANCELLED DUE TO TRAVEL PROBLEMS

Finally we’ll end things on a Triangleheads note. Triangleheads are a local effort headed by a GTR employee. Word on the street is that they’re pretty good, however, I’ll be damnned if I can’t get any of their music to load on their MySpace.
