Walking up and down Massachusetts Avenue, you might have seen
a scotched-up flyer or two for local wunderkinds
Soltero. This is not a
mistake. For years, the Soltero crew has stayed true to their punk ethos:
playing just about wherever, touring for no bucks, relying on the word-of-mouth
and, yes, sometimes, being quite loud. All this secured them a prime spot
at the outre underground festival
MacRock. If this digital
"revolution" should benefit anyone, it's Soltero. Do your part tonight as these
fashionable gentlemen sell CDs and spin their classics free at River Gods.
Moreover, this is a kind of advance peek at the Friday Night
Indie series R.G. has in the works. [And oh, in our haste to put
together last week's party, we neglected to give a shoutout to Stuff At Night
which recently wrote our little party up [
here].
Respect.] It is also Amy and David's third [uh,
Leather] anniversary
tonight.
Lots to celebrate [and don't we need to?]. C'mon, everybody,
let's rock tonight at
eavesdrop.

:: March 25th, 2003 Soltero Defrocked And Kicking The Habit
[Handsome]
People love Soltero. And it's starting to show. Not only is the band making
fans fast [they recently finished a tour], but it's starting to become an
institution, sprouting solo shows, encouraging other bands and having, well,
nights like these. We've invited the groop down to spin some favorites and
they've graciously complied [their occasional record-shop employment won't
hurt]. Defrocked And Kicking The Habit is their second full-length, a
passionate treatise on life, loss and loosening up. It's rock music
and its coming from your neighbors, so buy them a beer.
:: 9pm - 10:30pm :: Tim and gang
:: 10:30 :: Soltero Defrocked And Kicking The Habit

ADULT. is about
to blow the doors off of the new electro sound, for the new ADULT. release
is punk as hell. ADULT. is composed of only two people: Adam Lee Miller, Ersatz
label partner, and Nicola Kuperus, artiste extraordinaire. It is quite clear
ADULT. do not care what you think. For example, they have asked all reference to
ADULT. be printed as such: ADULT. Now, that, ladies and gentlemen, is punk. The
music? Total funk punk mayhem, bomb-the-bass reverso dance, jolt-inducing
crankshaft fashionpetrol. Two geniuses take the decks... You comin or
what?
:: 9pm - 10:30pm :: COOKIES [WZBC]
:: April 8th, 2003 Yo La Tengo
Summer Sun [
Matador]
With guest DJs Tinobeat and Alex McGregor. Yo La Tengo could well be
America's finest rock combo. Matador is
on a
roll.
:: Music Site of the Week :: This
is the easiest decision we've ever had to make: PROTEST RECORDS. Thurston Moore, Cat
Power, Steven Taylor, Eugene Chadbourne, Ian MacKaye, Saul Williams, Beastie
Boys, Billy Bragg [hey, even, Toby Keith and Ted Nugent] and many more have all
taken a stand about the war. Time to chime in. Ya
heard?
