Normal’s Night At The Golden West!
Normal’s kind friend, other groove psych folk musician, Waverly dad about the village and all around good guy Tony Lambright convinced the kind folks of Golden West restaurant in Hampden to let Normal’s Books & Records take over their venue on the night of Saturday, July 23rd. Not take over exactly, they’ll still do all the hard lifting, but Tony is filling their stage (maybe stages) with great music.
It is indeed a dream team of a lineup led by Asa Osborne of Zomes and Lungfish performing under his own name, so it makes me curious what he has up his sleeve. Sir Lambright’s own band, Madagascar will also be performing, somewhat of a reunion show before Michael takes off for the chillier climes of Minneapolis.
Dear lord, you are now asking, the hot July air combined with the thought of this show makiing sweat run through your nether entrapments, “Who else could possibly be on this gold-plated lineup?” Well, the sparkling Thank You boys, who also played our 16th Anniversary Party back in 2006 on a hot humid evening that even made Thank You McGrath’s fearsome wig droop. Plus Spacecrafts and Insects, the mind blowing duo of Liz Downing (also of Lurch & Holler and Old Songs) and Nathan Bell.
The final icings on the cake are gritty traditionalists Walker & Jay and poet and charismatic host of the WORMS reading series Bob O’Brien will get the night started with some fire breathing poetry.
Come hear some great music cheap and help us celebrate 21 years in the wild-assed cultural biz of book and record selling.
