Gather 'Round Your Radios

This Friday, officially, for sure this time, MIKE MENO is going to be on the Signal!

Mike Meno, dear friend, Goucher graduate, and radical-opinion-holder, contributes to this week's WYPR (88.1fm) Friday Arts & Culture program, The Signal. Meno will offer his absurdist's view on internet social-networking websites and their potential (albeit unlikely) doomsday-impact on society. Don't miss Mike in his radio debut, at noon and 7pm this Friday, 5/2/08.

For those Meno-fans who live beyond WYPR's radio waves, be sure to check out the show online here!

Aside from being professional hot babes, these kids play shows that you should go to:

APRIL 26, Talking Head.
Doors 9, Show 10, $7
W/Height, Velella Velella, and maybe Frenemies

You will be hard-pressed to find something better to do that night.

First Year American University MFA Show

With so many friends in this program, it is hard to remain unbiased....so instead, I will begin with a semi-objective statement: THIS IS HOW YOU DO ART OPENING FASHION. Above, shoe twins Zac Willis and Bonner Sale showcase a year's worth of work, and some sweet, sweet ASICS.

This cannot not be indulgent, these kids worked hard, I think they're all great:
































This show is only up UNTIL TUESDAY. Make sure to get down to the Katzen Center, its totally worth it.

Otherwise, you'll miss this:


For more information on any of the artists, pieces, or contact info regarding either, please email me at thereweretentigers@gmail.com and I'll hook you up.

Also, make sure to check out Rackel Fick's review/write up of the show on ArtCade Forum.

Delayed Gratification

Mike Meno's essay has been pushed back a week or two due to the abundance of relevant, timely, pieces....like this.

No worries Mike, we can wait, it will be worth it!

This is not a joke, its the FUTURE

The multi Vs, cutest kids on the block

AK Slaughter totally owned the crowd at Lo Fi last night, but thats no surprise. Those kids brought out some new tunes, revived a couple classics, had the entire room shakin' it and their devoted front-row fans freaking out....:




But the spotlight was all but stolen by The Multi Vs, two teenage ladies from Alexandria, VA who clapped half their percussion and made no less than 3 costume changes during their set.
They baffled the slightly jaded audience as they appeared on stage in matching white jumpsuits and dragging a life-size stuffed person (named Amelia, we later learned) but had completely won them over by the second song.

They changed into woodland creature/Hansel and Gretel costumes for their song "I love the forest OH!":

Check the Xs on their hands, too damn cute.

And again for the "vulgar" portion of their set:


Yeah, thats right, I'm going to put this out there: I love the MULTI VS!
Come back to Baltimore PLEASE.
