Peachcake

7/5/2009

Peachcake

Song titles “Welcome to the Party to Save the World!” “Stop Acting Like You Know More About the Internet Café Than Me,” and most especially “How to Get to the Moon and Back on Half a Tank of Gas (As Told by the Great Racecar Driver From Outer Space)” should indicate what you’re in for here. Musicians Stefan Pruett, Mike McHale, and Michael Kraft — appropriately based out of Carefree, Arizona — deliver vocals in disinterested and permanently sarcastic-sounding voices, backed by synthesizers and drum machines (not to mention the requisite keytar), and the songs are as fluffy and unfocused as their names foretell. The attitude behind tunes such as “Jeremiah, Stop Taking Bukowski So Seriously” is hard to hate, though, and few bands since the indie dance boom are using their fancy electronics for such lo-fi effects. If you’re looking for music to semi-ironically frolic to, the White Rabbit will be your spot Sunday. Just make sure you prance the hell back out be ()

$10. White Rabbit, San Antonio.

TPR Cinema Tuesday: Oscar Shorts

7/7/2009

TPR Cinema Tuesday: Oscar Shorts

TPR presents Oscar-nominated short films, with 5 live action films, and 3 animated shorts. Short films can be a true experimentation of the medium. At other times, they fall into a predictable fomat with switcheroo endings and other gimmicks to curry favor with players in the Industry. We're curious to see what direction these lean. Clearly, cinema is on trial here.

$10 members, $12 non-members. The Bijou, San Antonio.

135th Imperial Council Session

7/7/2009

135th Imperial Council Session

No, this isn't the name of an art-rock band, but another way of saying the Shriners are coming to town! And about 15,000 of them. The fallout of this event will be felt for years at various thrift stores around town in the form of funny t-shirts. Too many events to list. Look for them downtown. The highlight is a parade that begins at 4th and E street at 7pm and ends up by Santa Rosa hospital around 10pm. Main Plaza might be a good spot to observe.

Main Plaza, San Antonio.
