I rang in 2008 with a show in San Francisco by the world's finest Smiths cover band, This Charming Band, and I've been keeping my eyes on the skies for the news I finally got this week- they're doing a show in Portland at the Wonder Ballroom next Friday, May 29th, with Depeche Mode project Black Celebration and New Orders inspirados Love Vigilantes. The only sad, sad omission is Portland's finest Cure cover band, The Exploding Boys, but maybe sometime in the future we can bring these powerhouses together.
Clear your calendar. Find your winklepickers. Let's go!
hey, thedrowningman here from theXplodingboys,
ReplyDeletejust an fyi: our lead guitarist had made plans to be out of town before we knew about this show, so that is why we're not taking part. thanks for the props, though! i'll probably be there, and i even thought of setting up outside, across the street, for a street/acoustic performance for people in line...
we'll see if it rains.
"it can't rain all the time"...
