The Due Diligence, Crazy and the Brains and Shivering Timbers Tonight

Laying low at NTSIB HQ today, but we wanted to remind the locals that the Due Diligence will be hitting Now That’s Class tonight with Crazy and the Brains and Shivering Timbers (whose new album was produced by sound connoisseur Dan Auerbach). The show is at 9 PM and costs a measly 5 bucks. They’re practically giving it away, people!

The magnificent women of HotChaCha will not only be opening for mr. Gnome tomorrow night in one of the most awesome local match-ups possible, but they’ll also be playing the Grog Shops X-mess show on Christmas day, along with Megachurch, CLOVERS and Born of the Yeti. My kind of fucking Christmas.

mr. Gnome Return Home

Now that the news of the Black Keys move to Nashville has been officially announced, I can christen mr. Gnome as my favorite-local-band-that-is-still-local*… though, as seems to be the way of things, this will probably precipitate Nicole Barille and Sam Meister’s move to distant lands. I’d like to apologize to all the other mr. Gnome fans in advance.

But until then, we have the chance to enjoy them here at home this Saturday when they headline a show at the Beachland Ballroom with another band of local awesomeness, HotChaCha, and Soft Speaker from Chicago. Our friend Nate Burrell was kind enough to share some beautiful photos with us of mr. Gnome’s recent show in St. Louis, Missouri.

And here’s some footage from their recent show in Tucson, Arizona:

*For the record, I begrudge the Black Keys not one bit for their move, am glad they stayed in Ohio as long as they did and am really happy for them and excited for all the opportunities they have now.

We attempted to do a round-up of Dan Auerbach-produced acts, but that’s an exercise in futility because, as the subject line of that post states, dude never stops. This Sunday at the Beachland Tavern, there will be a record release show for another Dan Auerbach producing job – that of Shivering Timbers’ new album We All Started In The Same Place. Check out their slinky arrangement of “Crooked Old Man”.
