Guest ColumnIST: The Laurie Show

The following is a weekly column by guest contributor Laurie Gallardo. Hear her on KUT 90.5FM, Friday evenings, from 11pm-3am. -- The Editors

Hello, music lovers! I’m all a-twitter because, once again – and happily so, I’m in a whirl over the shows going on all over the place. It’s especially groovy for yours truly because it helps me pull my humble radio gig together – in that ragtag, scatterbrained method I’m so used to relying on…

Making it on tonight’s playlist is something that’s a treat for me, I must confess: I truly dig the raucous, blues-inspired style of The Black Keys. Yes, I understand it’s not for everybody, but damn, son, I need my fix! This dynamic duo, featuring Dan Auerbach on guitar and vocals and Patrick Carney on drums, will take the stage at La Zona Rosa tomorrow night.

No shortage of gigs from the local peeps: You can swing by Emo’s tonight for music by Centro-Matic and Those Peabodys. If you’re on the Drag Saturday evening, drop in at Hole In the Wall to catch Crawling with Kings. Lil’ Cap’n Travis is headlining a show Saturday at Beerland, with ’Til We’re Blue Or Destroy and Moonlight Towers on the bill.

I’m also sending kudos out to The Channel and Golden Bear, both of whom are part of a great line-up that includes Quien Es, Boom! and headliners Haunting Oboe Music at the Parish tomorrow night.. ¡Fantastico!

Don’t forget the North Loop Holiday Block Party on Sunday, and in honor of the occasion, I’ll include Tammany Hall Machine on the playlist this evening; they’re part of the list of bands playing at The Parlor that day, which includes Cavedweller, Hex Dispensers, Manager’s Choice, The Seas and The Texreys. The music starts in the afternoon, around 2 p.m., so be sure to catch some music in between your holiday shopping.

Tammany Hall Machine will be headlining a show next Thursday at the Continental Club, by the way, with Lomita and One Mississippi on the bill.

Yeah, I’m already planning ahead for next week, and that includes some rowdy Festivus celebrating with the White Ghost Shivers at Red’s Scoot Inn, also next Thursday. It’s a Festivus for the rest of us! (I never tire of that expression – thanks very much, Mr. Frank Costanza.)

The calendar’s full, and I have a feeling I’m barely scratching the surface. Whilst you’re catching shows and parties about town this evening, keep your car stereo on KUT 90.5, 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. Of course, in the words of RoboCop, thank you for your cooperation.
