Which One’s Pink @ Seaholm 5/28
Saturday, May 28th, Seaholm Power Plant will be given over to Which One’s Pink, a recreation of a Pink Floyd concert experience in a venue that seems to have been created specifically for such an event…pigs may fly! Walls may tumble! All we can say for certain is that some phenomenal local music talent is pitching in to help make it happen — including some surprise vocalists. There won’t be many more chances to catch an event at Seaholm, and there won’t be any more chances to catch one like this. As a fairly serious recovering Floyd geek, I’m a little excited.

From the Open Blog: Fiona Silver
Like so many New Yorkers, Austin was a place I had heard of but never gave much thought to. I came here on tour with Fifth Nation, for SXSW, and was completely blown away. Every hipster across the country (or world) thinks NYC is the place to be- and maybe I’m just jaded because it’s my hometown, but I had to get out and meet some people that were more concerned with what they create than how they look on party blogs. Here in Austin, I found exactly what I was looking for: inspiration. The genre of music I create doesn’t fall into the category of Folk, and will not be what you think of when you hear the words “singer songwriter.” What I do is ukulele soul, but there’s no category for that… Check out the best new underground party in Austin, Monday nights at Beauty Bar from 10pm-2am, sponsored by Magic Hat. I will be performing every Monday in May (or at least for the next 3 weeks) before I return back east. Check my website www.fionasilver.com for updates, and more info.

The Shorty Boy-Boy Experience at KFN May 12
From his beginnings with bands like Saudi Arabia to creating low-key minimalistic, experimental ditties that are infectiously catchy, Shorty Boy-Boy has created a live show that truly embraces the over-the-top nature of glam/art rock. And from random Terminator montages to playing chess and hopping into bed during guitar solos, his antics certainly provide a unique experience that will attract fans looking for more than business-as-usual performances by other acts. Tonight Shorty Boy-Boy will be performing alongside the pop rock stylings of Cold Fronts, the guitar-fueled garage rock of Bulletproof Tigers, and the radio-friendly tunes of Temple undergrads The JLE. But be sure to stick around for the dirty dance party aftermath courtesy of female DJ duo Stab & Grab. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $8, 21+ – Bill McThrill

Live Performance Video: “Wolfboy” – Dragon King
Below is video footage of Dragon King performing “Wolfboy” from a recent show at The Barbary. While we are fans of the recorded version featuring Peedi Crakk, we’re confident this video demonstrates how Dominic Angellela and crew’s live version simply fuckin’ kicks ass even without Peedi (or clear sounding vocals)! Special thanks to Stupid Easy for sharing. Enjoy! – The Deli Staff

NYC bands against cancer benefit tomorrow at Southpaw – Lifted Crew, Bottom Dollars, Flearoy, The Times
Park Slope’s premium venue Southpaw will host a "Rock Against Cancer" show on Thursday May 12 involving a rather eclectic mix of local artists. Celebrated Funk/Hip Hop group The Lifted Crew (pictured) are headlining this event. Amongst the openers, The Bottom Dollars (who recently released their debut album The Halcyon Days) will bring to the stage a cornucopia of lush vocal harmonies and classically familiar rock and soul, while Flearoy will offer their uplifting blend of folk, funk and jazz. We will cover opener band The Times as soon as they will change their band name to something a little more "Google-able". The concert will also include a raffle featuring autographed sports items, bar tabs and gift certificates to local restaurants. The show will donate the proceeds to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society through Team in Training. Tickets can be purchased here.
