This Week on Kaleidoscope: Support WYSO with the Motel Beds

March 1, 2011 By Juliet Fromholt Leave a Comment

Like most public radio stations around the country, twice a year WYSO puts the call out looking for listener support.  This week marks WYSO’s Spring Pledge drive where there’s a special focus on upping the station’s membership from 5% of its listening audience to 10%.

On Kaleidoscope, I’ll be celebrating all of the great local music that WYSO brings to the airwaves with my radio partner in crime and fellow Dayton MostMetro contributor, Gladgirl, and The Motel Beds.  We’ll be offering their latest album, Sunfried Dreams as a thank you gift for pledges, and the band will unveil an extra special new recording on the air.  Tune in at 8pm on 91.3FM or wyso.org for all that and our usual round up of great music from local and national artists.  And if you are thus inclined to make a pledge of support to WYSO, here’s the link.

THIS JUST IN:

Chapel Hill’s No More Fake Labels, who recently signed the Motel Beds and are responsible for the upcoming Guided by Voices’ tribute album, Sing for Your Meat will be unveiling an exclusive track from the tribute album on tonight’s show as well.  More updates will be available throughout the day on Kaleidoscope’s Facebook page.

Music Video Monday: February 28, 2011

February 28, 2011 By Juliet Fromholt Leave a Comment

This week I decided to offer two music videos for the price of one (so, still free as usual). Both videos come from bands that are playing at Blind Bob’s on (First) Friday night.  Check out the DaytonMostMetro events calendar for more information.

The first comes to us from The Story Changes.  They filmed this music video in Dayton last summer so be on the lookout for familiar faces and places.

Our second video comes from Me & Mountains.  In addition to the Blind Bob’s show, they’ll be playing a free show at OMEGA Music for First Friday beginning at 6pm.  Details are for this performance are also at our events calendar.

Louisville’s The Fervor have been making a name for themselves here in Dayton having performed at Canal Street Tavern and more recently, South Park Tavern. The band will return to SPT tonight to celebrate the release of their new album, Arise, Great Warrior on Karate Body Records. They’ll share the bill with the Smug Brothers and the Motel Beds, who recently finished their new album, Sunfried Dreams and are currently streaming it on their bandcamp site.  You can find show details at the DMM events calendar.

Robert Pollard Holds Online Art Sale to Benefit United Way of Dayton

February 18, 2011 By Juliet Fromholt Leave a Comment

Sir Isaac's Kind Permission by Robert Pollard

Guided by Voices frontman and prolific solo artist Robert Pollard has been keeping busy so far this year.  Just this week, his Lifeguards project with Doug Gillard released a new album called Waving at the Astronaut, and several spring festival appearances have been announced for Guided by Voices.  Pollard also announced this week that he’d be giving back to his community by holding an online art sale to benefit the United Way of Greater Dayton.  There’s a wide variety of artwork available on Pollard’s website including his trademark collages and fake album covers.  Artwork is 50% off or more, and the proceeds will go to the United Way of Greater Dayton.

Click here to check out Robert Pollard’s Artwork.

Here’s a track from the new Lifeguards’ album, Waving at the Astronaut:

Music Video Monday: January 31, 2011

February 1, 2011 By Juliet Fromholt Leave a Comment

Since it’s pretty late on this particular Monday, I tried to choose a music video that would serve you well going into Tuesday.  If the Miami Valley does indeed get the ice storm that’s been forecast, tomorrow would be a good day to stay in and catch up on some local music.  I recommend setting aside about 10 minutes to check out We Do This Every Week.  It’s a documentary by Dayton expats, Angelle Haney Gullett & Steven Gullett about Musician’s Co Op, a Tuesday night tradition at Canal Street Tavern.  It may even inspire you to strap on some ice skates and head over to Canal Street tomorrow night to see Co Op in person.

This Week on Kaleidoscope: The White Soots

January 25, 2011 By Juliet Fromholt 1 Comment

Formerly playing as Fuzz Hound, The White Soots have been gaining momentum throughout the end of 2010 and are poised for a great year in 2011.  Late last fall, they released their debut album which you can download for free here.  They’ll be playing at Canal Street Tavern as part of the Dayton Does Dayton show on January 28th.

We’ll talk about that show and more with the White Soots tomorrow night on Kaleidoscope, 8-11pm on 91.3FM WYSO. You can tune in online at www.wyso.org, and if you’re not close to a radio or a computer, the set will be available to stream on WYSO’s website beginning on Thursday afternoon.  We’ve also got links to stream-able episodes of Kaleidoscope right here in the sidebar of the DaytonMusic section of Dayton MostMetro.

Olive Puts the Call Out for Local Music

January 24, 2011 By Juliet Fromholt Leave a Comment

The interior of the former Wympee burger soon to be home to Olive and local music

It’s always nice to start off the week hearing about community members doing what they can to support each other.  For those who haven’t heard of Olive, an Urban Dive, is a new restaurant coming to the site of the old Wympee burger on the corner of Third St. and Wayne Ave.  It’s the brainchild of Kim Collett and Matthew DeAngulo, who are putting an emphasis on all things local throughout the development of their new business.  That local emphasis is now extending to the music they’ll play in Olive once it’s open.

This morning a call went out via Olive’s Facebook page for local music to include on their iPad jukebox including “everything from ‘get the mornin jammin’ to ‘easy lunch & dinner’ to ‘end of the night funk’.”  Local musicians can get more information by emailing: [email protected]

Me & Moutains, The Seedy Seeds and No No Knots at Blind Bob’s

January 19, 2011 By Juliet Fromholt Leave a Comment

Me & Mountains unveiled their self-titled debut album about six months ago to much acclaim, and lucky for us, they’ve already started on the next one.  There’s no release date yet, but the band is aiming for a spring or summer.  There’s also already some national buzz for the new album as You Indie recently featured an interview with Me & Moutains’ vocalist and bassist, Burris Dixon.  Check out that article here.

You can catch Me & Mountains live at Blind Bob’s tomorrow night (Thursday, January 20).  They’ll be hosting two great Cincinnati bands: The Seedy Seeds and No No Knots.  The Seedy Seeds have played quite a few shows in Dayton over the past few years and are also prepping a new release due to come out in February.  Word has it, they’ll be unveiling some new material at Blind Bob’s.  No No Knots have just released an EP called Quiet to the Night.  You can download it for free here.

Full show details are available at the Dayton MostMetro events calendar.

Here’s one of my favorite tracks from Me & Mountains’ self titled debut album.

This Week on Kaleidoscope: Splattertude

January 18, 2011 By Juliet Fromholt Leave a Comment

Splattertude

Splattertude is a band, a comedy troupe and an internet radio show among other things.  Born from the Ghastleee Movie Show hosted by A. Ghastlee Ghoul on DATV, Splattertude will be performing on January 29th as part of the Dayton Does Dayton show at Canal Street Tavern.  You can check out event details on the Dayton MostMetro Events Calendar. I’ll be interviewing Splattertude tomorrow night on Kaleidoscope, 8-11pm on 91.3FM WYSO, and they’ll be playing some tunes live in the WYSO studios.

Our originally scheduled interview and live set will be accompanied by stories and memories of Barry Hobart aka Dr. Creep.  In addition to Splattertude, we’ll talk to local filmmakers Andy Copp and Matt Brassfield,  hear stories from filmmaker/musician Henrique Couto, an audio documentary about Dr. Creep from filmmaker Ann Rotolante and much more.

You can tune in online at www.wyso.org, and if you’re not close to a radio or a computer, the set will be available to stream on WYSO’s website beginning on Thursday afternoon.  We’ve also got links to stream-able episodes of Kaleidoscope right here in the sidebar of the DaytonMusic section of Dayton MostMetro.

The Bengsons Return to Dayton, Celebrate CD Release

January 17, 2011 By Juliet Fromholt Leave a Comment

The Bengsons (cr Domingos Goncalves)

You may recall last summer, our onStageDayton team forcibly encouraging you to check out out the Bengsons. In case you don’t, here’s the rundown:

The Bengsons are Shaun and Abigail Bengson.  They’re based out of New York, but Shaun’s originally from Bellbrook and performed with the high school’s band and theater as well as with community theater groups.  The duo has performed around the country and around the world in places like Cape Town, South Africa.  They’ll make a return visit to Dayton this week to celebrate the release of their latest album, The Proof.

The Proof is a fantastic mix of songs that tell stories and transport you to lands near and far all the while giving you that amazing feeling that comes from a really great stage show.  You can stream the album at the Bengsons’ website or pick up a copy on Thursday, January 20 at Canal Street Tavern when the Bengsons perform live.

You can also catch the Bengsons on WYSO earlier that day.  They’ll be on Excursions with Niki Dakota around noon.  Tune in at 91.3FM or listen online at www.wyso.org

Music Video Monday: January 17, 2011

January 17, 2011 By Juliet Fromholt Leave a Comment

This Monday finds many of us mourning the loss of Barry Hobart aka Dr. Creep, who passed away on Friday.  For more on Dr. Creep’s legacy on local television, I highly recommend J.T.Ryder’s article, Brilliance on the Edge of Night here on Dayton MostMetro.  We’re in the process of putting together a tribute show in Dr. Creep’s honor for this week’s Kaleidoscope on WYSO.  I’ll pass along more details about that tomorrow here on Dayton MostMetro.

In addition to horror films and hilarious mayhem, Dr. Creep would feature musical guests on his show from time to time.  During the New Shock Theatre years, he even recorded an album with the Lawn Jockeys called The Amazing Sounds of Shock Theatre.  Today’s music video is a classic episode of the original Shock Theatre series featuring a musical perform by New York band, the Freelance Vandals at the fictional “Famous Les Fern Dance Studio.”

Live Music on Friday: Two Best Bets

January 13, 2011 By Juliet Fromholt Leave a Comment

If you’re looking to see a great show on Friday night, there are quite a few options.  Here are two shows that I’m especially looking forward to:

  • The Dirty Socialites are playing Blind Bob’s along with My Latex Brain and Columbus’ Lollipop Factory.  These three bands put on a really solid rock show on their own this bill promises to be a lot of fun.  Full details here.
  • Earlier this week, I shared a promo video for Friday night’s show at Canal Street Tavern.  This is another great three band bill featuring The Motel Beds along with Floods and Amnesia.  Full details here.

Are you planning on seeing some live music on Friday night?  If so, what shows are you looking forward to?

Starving in the Belly of the Whale

Music Video Monday: January 10, 2011

January 10, 2011 By Juliet Fromholt 1 Comment

I had originally planned on doing something else for this week’s video, but once in a while something comes along that’s too good to pass up.  This Friday night, January 14th, the Motel Beds are playing a show at Canal Street Tavern with Floods and Amnesia.  It promises to be a great show, and you can check out the details at the Dayton MostMetro events calendar.

In addition to the traditional show flier, the Motel Beds took the promotion one step further and created a radio spot which morphed into a video over the weekend.  It’s short, but super fun.  So check it out, and check all these bands out on Friday at Canal Street.
