Things to do on a Thursday night
Here's an obvious one. Catch the the Nice Jenkins at the Satellite Ballroom in Charlottesville.
The Satellite is rapidly becoming my favorite venue. Not just for the obvious reason of having a nice big bar stocked with plenty of people serving drinks, but damn, it's getting some good shows. Of interest in the next month, Jenkins Thursday the 14th, Rogue Wave the 15th, Mates of State the 25th, Of Montreal the 28th, and Islands (I can definitely recommend) on the 14th of October. Here's the Jenkins practicing at the ballroom the night before their show.  This is a damn good band (If you're not a C-Villian you can buy their music here - I have no conflicting interests in recommending it, I just like it) Tickets for their show are available at Plan 9 and I'm sure you can show up and drop 5 bucks to get in and drink and hear some good music Thursday night. And the other stuff at the ballroom is shaping up to make this a fun fall music season. I'm afraid I'm leaving town tomorrow (making GiveUpBlog a little more quiet for the next week) but I'll try to keep updating, and if you're a C-Ville dweller, there's no excuse for missing this. In the meantime expect me to be at some of these other shows. |

Satellite Ballroom? Must be new since I moved away.
Actually, from looking at the webpage it seems that it's the former Plan 9 performance space, and some of the people in charge of booking are names I recognized from Plan 9. So now it has a fully-stocked bar and is its own entity? Interesting.
Also I'd like to pimp the Of Montreal show, not just because they're good on their own merits, but because I know their opening act, Doofgoblin. Interviewed him once for my radio show on WTJU. Nice guy, good experimental electronic music.

Yeah, they've been setting it up and trying to make it a major venue for college bands and what not. It's really a pretty good space, it's got a better bar than Star Hill (and I never liked their beer anyway), and it attracts lots of bands that aren't going to get booked at the new pavillion.
