musak for orbital elevators

The Idea of North are doing the Adelaide launch of their new CD The Gospel Project at Elder Hall (in the University of Adelaide) on Saturday August 19 at 7:30. Entry is $28/$23/$15, book at BASS. Apparently the King of Siam let them go. ["The fool!"] Perhaps he didn't like the wrapping they were sent in... Anyway the new album is, as you may have guessed, almost totally devoted to gospel pieces, and thus we still continue to lack many of the covers, ballads, and humorous pieces that I tend to prefer and which frequent their live shows. Although The Unfortunate Tale of a Country Chicken does sound rather intriguing. On other local music news (at least that of interest to me), Spiral Dance is playing the Wheatsheaf a week earlier (on Saturday August 12), also at 7:30. But like most Wheatie gigs it's free. So I hope to see many of you there dancing like mad dancey things. Now where did I leave that bottle of pain killers...
