Alex B "You and I Both Know"

It's been a busy week, but this is just what I was looking for to take the edge off and prepare for what should be a pretty interesting weekend.

Dare Dukes, Little Tybee and Book of Colors are playing at the Co-Lab tonight, followed by Sunglasses "farewell Savannah" performance at Hang Fire later. They are about to head to Maryland to record an LP and then tour.

[By the way, can I mention that I hope those fellas from Sunglasses return to Savannah as heroes rather than settling down in another city, it kills me to watch all of our great talents sapped by the attraction of larger markets like NYC, ATL, LA, ATX.]

What I started out to mention was that this track Alex B track "You and I Both Know" is the bees-goshdarn-knees and you should check it out if you're into jacked up soul finely chopped with a dash of glitch and some serious space funk.

Visit his website for more info.

Oh yeah, the other reason this weekend will be awesome - the debut of the Savannah Record Club's Vinyl Appreciation over at  Indigo Arts on Sunday at 5pm. Come by and check it out. Lost gems and forgotten prodigies.

Also, in a side note to the aforementioned Dare Dukes, you should check out the new project featuring the Blackstock Collective (Dare's band) bass player Charles, it's called Brandywine. Live band doing laidback hip hop instrumentals. Grab a copy of their new EP from their blog. Good stuff.

They will be making an appearance at the Savannah Urban Arts Festival - the full line up of which is probably being released in the next couple of days, and which I will be sure to post, because it will be really awesome. Drop by the website for some of the stuff already listed, including a couple artists and the week's lineup.
