Various Notes || August 31, 2007

I am pretty sure Sam will have a weekender up this afternoon, but I wanted to toss a few notes up while I have the time.

We are only 3 weeks away from The Wall of Sound Festival at LaGrave Field in Fort Worth. Explosions in the Sky, Midlake, Spectrum, The Books and Pinback are just a few of the 30 bands that are playing the festival on September 22nd and tickets are on sale at the Wall of Sound Fest website. Expect to see a lot more on this over the next 3 weeks.

The schedule for the Pleasant Grove Preservation Society residency (that started last night) at the Double Wide has been finalized. 3 more weeks to check out what should be some of the more interesting and fun shows in the metroplex next month.
The line up (from the Double Wide):

Thursday 9/6
Doors early at 9:00!
Pleasant Grove Preservation Society
Sarah Jaffe
Old Canes (Lawrence, KS) featuring Chris Crisci of Appleseed Cast
At 9:00, we will be showing "Le Mystere Picasso" (1956) in the venue as Pleasant Grove Preservation Society plays a somewhat improptu soundtrack to it....so get there early!

Thursday 9/13
Pleasant Grove Preservation Society
J.D. Whittenburg
The Naptime Shake

Thursday 9/20
Pleasant Grove Preservation Society
Brent Best
Slider Pines

Finally, Midlake have a new EP, entitled Oak and Julian available on iTunes. The EP includes acoustic versions of Roscoe and It Covers the Hillsides, as well as two b-sides from previously released UK only singles entitled Marion and Mornings Will Be Kind.
