LemonDrop Record’s first Dropcast!
The label’s about to really take off, with the Verbs and Spacetones albums both getting close to being done. We’ll have huge CD release parties for both. We also had our big hip hop party last Saturday night that went really well. You can check out pictures here. The first half of the night was a big party, with DJ’s spinning, a live painter, a giant board to sign, two Nicolas Cage movies playing simultaneous in our “Cage Match”, and then there were Charlie’s trippy visuals being projected onto the backdrop as everyone performed. The second half of the night was the main show with Jimmy Spits coming from Columbia, MO to co-headline with the Spacetones. All in all it was a great night and it resulted in Jimmy Spits joining the LemonDrop gang.
For our first Dropcast, we’re featuring a freestyle Jimmy did with Tommy P. of the Spacetones. We’ll have a Dropcast once a week so this is just the beginning. The excitement is building and everyone at LemonDrop can’t wait for everything to really get rolling. Enjoy the first ever LemonDrop Dropcast and look for more to come. By the way, if you’re in Springfield, I’m opening for the Verbs and Spacetones Saturday night at the Outland Ballroom. I’ll have Joe on drums, but after that my band, which will consist of me, Joe on drums and guitar, Chris on lead guitar and drums sometimes, and Jackson Hunt on keys. That’ll most likely be the core of Honest Artist (I think that’s the name we might go with). We’ll learn my songs at first, with Chris and Jackson both taking turns opening for the band when we have shows, then down the line we’ll just start writing songs as a band. I can’t wait. Make it tomorrow night if you can’t. And…sigh…if you don’t want to miss the Mountain Goats w/the Bowerbirds, you know I understand that. But having a show is a good trade-off to missing the Mountain Goats, even though it’s at Randy Bacon’s again. A place Darnielle has specifically claimed he loves to play, which means he rambles even more when he performs there. That show is Saturday night as well, so catch one or the other. Doesn’t really matter much to me since they’ll both be great for different reasons and you’ll win no matter which show you see. Now go check out the Dropcast!
