This Saturday catch a top runner from The Deli Portland’s 2010 Emerging Artists title at the Doug Fir. The Ascetic Junkies are joined by a handful of old collaborators to pique the ears of Portland’s incestuous music scene. Catch these lovely Junkies meshing with Boy Eats Drum Machine, Cars & Trains, and Leigh Marble. Cars & Trains will be backed by the AJ’s on his song "Asleep on a Train" and later join the AJ’s playing hand percussion on their own material. Boy Eats Drum Machine will be backed by the AJ’s on "Oregon Shore" and will later possibly be playing some turntables and/or sax on an AJ’s tune or two. There may even be a cover song or two performed by the entire group.The entire show sounds like a house show invading the Doug Fir. Except it’s $10 and 21+. But worth it! –mh
