THE FLYING ANVIL QUICK REMINDER Just a quick reminder that tonight, September 21st, is the Rock, Paper, Scissors Championship Tournament. This is your chance to redeem yourself from years past where you went out in the first round to a 9 year old. This could be your year, and hey, what a good year it is. For the first time the grand prize money has reached $500...yes, $500 for playing Rock, Paper, Scissors...now that¹s clean livin¹. Registration starts at 7, matches at 8, and you walk out a winner sometime after that. Oh, yes, there will be trophies again this year...even for third place. Thanks to our sponsors: The Green Bean Natty Greene¹s Yes Weekly Later in the week we will have Ohmega Watts on Friday...brought to you by WUAG 103.1 and GoTriad. ³One of the freshest talents to have emerged out of hip-hop's leftfield in the last five years... The Find takes inspiration from boom bap bad boys Pete Rock and DJ Premier, as well as Stereolab." -DAZED & CONFUSED That spells awesome! Then, on Saturday night...the gig you should hurry up and buy tickets for...Beirut. Wholly smokes this is gonna be a goodie. How can you go wrong with a band that has been compared to both Django Reinhardt and Neutral Milk Hotel. Yep...getcha tickets today. Here¹s some quotable quotes: ³Zach Condron, the heart of Beirut, is a nineteen-year-old kid from NYC via Albuquerque, New Mexico. But you can know that only by being told. Just hearing this music alone would have convinced you that it sprang from a rag-tag group of musicians from the Balkans, circa the 1950s. A lost artifact, found and dusted off, as if it had hung in an antique shop for decades.² "What's a twenty-year-old New Mexico kid know about pain and suffering? Plenty, by the sounds of Gulag Orkestar, the delightfully downtrodden debut from the Gypsy-savvy (but thoroughly American) Zach Condon. Chock-full of accordion, brass noise and Condon's sinewy murmur, the album has got melancholic Eastern Euro charm from here to Kiev. Controlled chaos abounds on winsome oompah tracks like the lambada-meets-polka waltz "Bratislava." Elsewhere, Condon betrays his indie-pop roots, as on the sweet "Postcards >From Italy," which strikes in between Django Reinhardt and Neutral Milk Hotel." -Rolling Stone Also, check the schedule down below for the remainder of events coming up.
