According to the Uptown’s site, their last night open for food is Halloween, but they’ll be open with a show November 1st. They’re looking for a new home, so let’s up it’s not so much good bye, but see you later.
I’m looking forward to the Faux Jean show on the 29th, how about you?
Read on for the lineup up to their hiatus
SATURDAY OCTOBER 17
HONEYDOGS, MYSTERY PALACE
“The Honeydogs music captures the Zeitgeist of this anxious era”. – Paste
“The Honeydogs borrow from psychedelia, power pop, folk-rock, jazz, and bossa nova, without ever slavishly mimicking any one”. – New York Daily News
“Levy continues to be one of the best songwriters of our time”. – Vintage Guitar
“smart, scruffy and scintillating music, refreshingly unconcerned with trends or the latest sounds”. – Amplifier
“The band zips effortlessly through different sounds and stylesLevys clever lyrics and unusual imagery make clear how much he loves the malleability of the English language”. – No Depression

THE SHOW IS THE RAINBOW (from Lincoln NE), SUPER 8 BIT BROTHERS (from Chicago), Unicorn Basement
The Show is the Rainbow is a novelty music act from Lincoln, NE, A.K.A Darren Keen, formerly of 3 Day Meat Sale and Musico. For much of 2006, The Show is the Rainbow toured as a three-piece, with Javid Dabestani and Jim Schroeder playing alongside Keen. Currently, Keen is touring as a one-man band. The Show is the Rainbow plays an eclectic mix of rock, electronica and hip-hop inspired by artists such as The Faint, Frank Zappa, Nina Hagen, Les Savy Fav, Squarepusher and Beck. The Show is the Rainbow has gained a national following by means of near constant touring and energetic live shows that focus on audience interaction.
Darren Keen has gained notoriety for his commentary on indie fashion and scene icons such as Conor Oberst and Saddle Creek. This is most notable in the song “Up a Creek without a Saddle.” Darren Keen also produced his own version of the fake interview from Bright Eyes’ own Fevers and Mirrors, where he discusses cocaine, trite symbolism and indie scene stereotypes. This was in response to being “called out” in a hidden track that appears on Criteria’s En Garde. He has played alongside bands such as Yip-Yip, Broken Spindles, The Mae Shi, Gravy Train!!!!, Beep Beep, Cex, The Locust, Neil Hamburger, Girl Talk, Tay Zonday, Foxy Shazam, Tub Ring, Cursive, Dan Deacon, Mindless Self Indulgence, and The Faint. – Wikipedia.com
