DESTROY BABYLON | THE SHADOW ARMY

When it comes to white guys interpreting dub, the gold standard is The Clash.

THE MAJOR LABELS

Usually supergroups are disappointments—but not these guys. The Major Labels are Boston powerpop favorites Bleu McAuley, Mike Viola and producer Ducky Carlisle.

ASYLUM STREET SPANKERS

A schizophrenic, engrossing po-mo jug band

Take some Robert Johnson, a little Muddy Waters, some B-52's, a pinch of Prince, a sprinkle of washboard bluegrass and a dash of early, beat-boxing hip-hop.

Day #1 at Tales...

By pinklady on Fri, Jul 18, 2008 7:15 pm

Began late with a perfect Pimm's Cup and breakfast at the Napoleon House. YUMMMM...If you've never had a Pimm's Cup do yourself a favor and check this cocktail out, especially if you happen to be in the quarter, near the Napoleon House. We also sampled a Roast Beef Po' Boy, since evidently the deep fried version we had the evening before just wasn't enough for us, and a Muffaletta, which comes portioned as a whole, half, and quarter sandwich. We ordered the quarter size, and it was still as big as my head.

The Carousel Bar spins in the center of the room, so to chat with these seated gals, we have to march slowly around the room with them. We're doing the "Carousel Crawl." It looks impossibly silly.
