Slackday: Welcome to Collinwood

  By

There’s going to be a damn lot of good music happening in Cleveland’s Collinwood neighborhood this weekend. Arts Collinwood will be hosting A.L.L. Fest Saturday from 1:00 to 8:00 P.M. A collaborative effort between the AIDS Taskforce of Greater Cleveland and Arts Collinwood, the fest will feature food, drink, art, opportunities to record video messages, write letters and paint messages to bring attention to the importance of funding for HIV/AIDS programs and, at the top of our list, good music. NTSIB is going to make a point of catching Muamin Collective and This Moment in Black History before we get our tail down the street for Cadillac Sky’s show at the Beachland Ballroom.

Don’t Say I Never Gave You Anything: Cowboy Junkies, Futurebirds, Young Mammals

  By

Here, people, have some music.

First up, a humid, languid tune called “Cicadas” from the upcoming Cowboy Junkies’ album Renmin Park. Renmin Park will be the first album in a four-album series called The Nomad Series, and the following album in the series, Demons, will be made up of covers of songs from the late, great Vic Chesnutt.

Cowboy Junkies – Cicadas

Even though I gave them a lukewarm concert review here last week, I still like the guys in Futurebirds. Damn those Southern charmers. Their debut album, Hampton’s Lullaby, will be dropping on July 27, and here’s a track from the album called “Johnny Utah”.

Futurebirds – Johnny Utah

Finally, an energetic ditty with a seasick rhythm called “Confetti” from Houston band Young Mammals. They will be releasing their album Carrots on June 22 and playing at the Happy Dog in Cleveland on July 2.

My list is pretty lean this week due to the previously-mentioned computer meltdown and the inability of this dinocomp to handle MySpace to hear if a band might be worth checking out, but you can head over to Dust Sleeve for more listings. And then you can imagine a great video here becuase this machine can’t handle YouTube, either.
