Friday April 27 – Swami YoMahmi Presents: Doctor Who Burlesque at The Red Palace

An inter-dimensional burlesque adventure through the universe of Doctor Who. Featuring out-of-this-world burlesque from the always surprising Reverend Valentine, Candy del Rio, and Eerie Twilight, plus sideshow by Mab Just Mab, and introducing erotic stage kitten Gaia Phoenix.

Ticket Alternative’s Weekend Picks!

It’s that time again! Remember during the Flintstones when the little bird would holler at the end of the work day and Fred would run out of there with the speed of a pterodactyl? Well we are getting closer and closer to the weekend, so start thinking of what kind of trouble you can get into this weekend! Here’s where you can find Ticket Alternative, hope to see you at a show!

WASHINGTON D.C.

Friday, February 10 – Howlin Rain at The Red Palace

Rolling Stone magazine calls them “”A psychedelic cocktail of Crosby, Stills and Nash, the Faces, the Damned and author Raymond Carver”

Saturday, Februrary 11 – Sharon Van Etten at Black Cat

Indie rock’s newest heroine’s music has been called by NPR as being ” heartfelt without being overly earnest; her poetry is plainspoken but not overt, and her elegant voice is wrapped in enough rasp and sorrow to keep from sounding too pure or confident.”

Saturday, Februrary 11 – Star Slinger at DC9

You have probably danced to Star Slinger’s remixes without even knowing it. This U.K. producer is also known  to post all his official and unofficial remixes on his Soundcloud profile.

Sunday, February 12 – Dum Dum Girls at the Black Cat

California’s daughters, the Dum Dum Girls have opened up for  the likes of Vampire Weekend. This insanely infectious show is a must.

Sunday, February 12 – The Jealous Sound at the Rock and Roll Hotel 

L.A.’s indie rockers, The Jealous Sound, who have toured with the likes of Sunny Day Real Estate, are rocking it out in D.C. this Sunday.

ATLANTA

Friday, February 10 – Fountains of Wayne at The Loft

Formed in New York in 1996, Fountains of Wayne took its name from an iconic garden store in nearby Wayne, NJ . The band has received steady critical accolades since its inception, and were nominated for two Grammys, including a slightly belated Best New Artist nod, in 2003, after scoring a hit with their third album, Welcome Interstate Managers.

Saturday, February 11 – Valentines in the Garden at Atlanta Botanical Gardens

Oh yes, Cupid is starting to fly around again! Celebrate Valentines in the most romantic spot in town.  Desserts, live entertainment, cash bars, and Orchid Daze: Hanging Gardens add to the ambiance of the evening.

Saturday, February 11 – Winter Beer Carnival at Atlantic Station

Back again for a third year, bigger and better than ever with more games, beer AND a ferris wheel, the Winter Beer Carnival will be packed with good times on Saturday.

5GB With The Polyphonic Spree; Playing Revolution Music Room, Little Rock, AR, Feb. 8

By Eileen Tilson

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules.”  Although Steve Jobs was using these powerful words to describe the rebelliousness of the Apple company, they could just as easily be used to describe the folks in The Polyphonic Spree, who for decades have been going against the status quo with their choral symphonic pop rock. Using virtually every instrument under the sun to comprise their unique sound. We chatted via email with the ever so eccentric band leader, Tim DeLaughter, before their show at the Revolution Music Room in Little Rock on Feb. 8th.

First gig you ever went to?

Willie Nelson with Jerry Jeff Walker, In Dallas at the Sportitorium. I found $5.00 at the snack bar on the floor… I was 8 yrs old. That was a lot of money back then. I’m a HUGE Willie fan to this day….the money had nothing to do with it. Please come to our show and I’ll throw $20.00 on the floor in front of the bar for some lucky kid to find. Then, you’ll have a story to tell like me..38yrs later.

Best gig you played/performed at?

The “best gig ever played” is way too broad of question for someone who’s been playing shows since 1989.. My god, I’ve played all over the world, with some of the greatest artists ever. From David Bowie to Def Leppard….  We performed Sgt Peppers for the induction of the Beatles in the UK Hall of Fame in London. I wore Paul McCartney’s satin blue suit, the one in the gatefold of said album.

We played the Nobel Peace Prize Award show in Norway. After we played our song, we came back out for the finale, where we sang “Imagine” by John Lennon. We held hands while we did this, I had Tom Cruz holding my right hand and Oprah Winfrey holding my left. We’ve played Glastonbury, in front of 80,000 people as well as every other huge festival in the UK and Europe. Along with Coachella in the states and any other big festival you can think of here in America. We’ve played on TV shows like Scrubs and Las Vegas, I even had a speaking role that was written in the show, just because we were there. I told James Caan (las Vegas) “Freebie and the Bean” was the first shoot’em up movie I ever saw at the theater. He said “really”?! Then walked away….

I have been on 9 major labels and dropped by everyone of them. I’ve been nominated for an Emmy, for the theme song i wrote  for “The United States of Tara”, I lost to John Williams…I’ve scored 3 films and have had my songs used in countless films and commercials. One of my songs was used in a TV campaign in the UK. The song went on to win an award for the longest running  campaign in UK Television history. Beating “I’d like to teach the world to sing”. The first time you ever saw a bands name on an iPod, during the commercial while the song was playing was us..I could go on and on, but I won’t …
I think I’ve answered in a round about way your questions and then some..
Please don’t take my life’s words as gloating, I just felt like sharing some insight to who your asking these questions to.
I will tell you this….The Polyphonic Spree is definitely one of the best live experiences I have ever had… And, I’m at my best when I’m performing with them, for whatever that’s worth. Let’s hope it’s worth the ticket price…..Don’t take my word for it, come see for yourself.. My money’s on the Spree!!

Catch The Polyphonic Spree on Wednesday at the Revolution Music Room, 2/8/12
