Sound Notes Pick o’ the Week

12/5/2012

The final numbers are in for Kingston VanderKallen’s benefit show, played at House of Bricks in November. The event — put together by Lazer 103.3’s Samantha Knight and Metro Concerts Live’s Chad Willey, and featuring over a dozen local bands, artists and businesses — raised $3,417.28 for the VanderKallen family. Kingston’s mother Terril says the money will go toward a custom-made bed and a wheelchair/stroller. One last thanks to everyone involved and to everyone who came out to Bricks and had a good time.                 

On Thursday, Dec. 6, Vaudeville Mews welcomes Night Moves. The Minnesota psychedelic, freak-folk five-piece plays Mews’ early show, starting at 6 p.m. Canyons and Tourist open. $7 at the door, and that show is all-ages.                

Then on the Mews late bill, Kansas-based Dumptruck Butterlips performs, starting at 10 p.m. That one is $10 at the door.            

Sound Notes Pick o’ the Week: On Friday, Dec. 7, get down to the Hull Avenue Tavern and check out Viva Montesa, playing with Hath No Fury, The Getaway Scene and Cedar Falls’ Austin Taft Soundtrack. The show starts at 9 p.m., and admission is free.                

Also starting on Friday, Dec. 7, 3 Bridges Productions kicks off its two-day, two-venue “Fistfull of Ska.” The event begins at the Beachwood Lounge, as River City Rocksteady and DJ Cosmovinyl VooDoo spin some favorites starting at 9 p.m.

Also on Dec. 8, House of Bricks plays host to a giant, one-of-a-kind metal show to get you in the Christmas spirit.
