Local Goings-On

Many things are happening coming up in the greater Pioneer Valley area and it is my duty to inform.

Tonight at Hampshire's Centrum Gallery [located on the top of donut 1 in Greenwich (not that I necessarily know what that means)] Eric Hnatow will be performing with Shira Erlichman and the Whitehaus Family Records "WinTour" (Gracious Calamity, Prince Rama of Ayodha, Peace Loving, and Many Manions). The show is free and, according to Facebook, "These kids rip like no other!" Good reason to attend. 8PM sharp start time.

Next up there's the WMUA Record Sale this Saturday, December 6. Come one, come all and buy vinyl old and new from special vendors and check out music from Mr. Hnatow, Teeth Mountain, Rabbit Rabbit, and Brown Recluse Sings. Festivities from 10AM til 3PM.


Parts & Labor doin up Hampshire's Red Barn on December 11 with Ampere, Bunnies, Grey Skull, and (yet again) Eric Hnatow. It's free with suggested donation to touring bands. Parts & Labor's new record is pretty nuts.

The Elevens in Northampton also has some stuff of interest coming up, including Viva Viva (who I've been semi-digging lately) with a bunch of others on December 12 and New Radiant Storm King (dudes who went to Hampshire in the early 90s. Don't know much about em except: Stephen Malkmus worked with em + they're on this Love/Arthur Lee tribute double 7" I grabbed over the summer from '93) on the following night.



Lastly, Three Fifteen is playing a reunion show at the Zeitgeist gallery in Pittsfield (to my knowledge) on January 3. They're a pretty loud buncha dudes with a decent following (at least in certain circles) and they're very fun to see so if anyone's around the area it should be a rager (also, click the link up there to download their anthology for zero dollars). Other bands are to perform, I believe, including my buddy Luis's Over the Mountain trio so check it.
