St. Patty’s Day on Fountain Square
March 9th, 2010
Posted in Concerts, Local Music
It would appear that Spring has finally sprung. The several feet of snow that covered my yard for the past month or two has almost completely melted away and the forecast for the month of March is looking to have an average of about fifty-something degrees. The good weather has arrived just in time for St. Patty’s Day. Celebrate the holiday downtown with green beer this weekend, with the annual St. Patty’s Day Parade, followed by the first outdoor concert event of the year on Fountain Square. There’s a lot of great bands playing this Saturday, from locals like The Tigerlilies, who kick things off at 1 pm, the Mt. Pleasant String Band, The Tillers and the Buffalo Killers. The Super Desserts from Columbus, and Rhode Island indie-folk band Deer Tick, are also on the bill. Here’s the full schedule:
1 pm The Tigerlilies
2:05 pm Mt. Pleasant String Band
3:10 pm Mark Utley and Magnolia Mountain
4:15 pm The Super Desserts
5:20 pm The Tillers
6:25 pm Buffalo Killers
8 pm Deer Tick

Local alternative, folk-rock band, The Chocolate Horse, is throwing a vinyl release party for their second album, We Don’t Stand on Ceremony. Led by Jason Snell, the Horse creates a very unique sound with the use of both acoustic and electric guitars and basses, the banjo, various flutes, drums and percussion, and of course keys, which are played by the band’s newest member, Sharon Udoh. Also on the bill for tonight is Comet DJ, Bryan Dilsizian, and Me or the Moon, which features a cast of who’s who in the local music scene including Matthew Shelton, Victor Strunk (The Hiders, Ruby Vileos), Tony Franklin (The Hiders) and Joe Klug (Wussy). The party’s free and starts at 10 pm in the back room.

Miami indie-pop buzz band, The Postmarks, have been getting a lot of attention since releasing their first EP in early 2007, and that attention has been building ever since. Not even three years after the fact, they have released a full length disc every year since (The Postmarks in 2007, By the Numbers
in 2008 and Memoirs At The End Of The World
in 2009). They’ve also racked up a lot of miles on the odometer, touring with bands like Smoosh and Memphis, and performing at festivals like Lollapalooza. They’ll be in the ballroom tonight with a couple of local buzz bands, Eat Sugar and You, You’re Awesome. The show starts at 9:30 pm and tickets are $10.
But that’s not the only show going on tonight at Newport’s historical, haunted mansion. They’ve got three rooms of music and an art gallery on the top floor. Go up the first flight of stairs to the parlour and you’ll find Americana/indie-folk band, Brad Hoshaw & the Seven Deadlies from Omaha, and psychedelic/soul group, The 1959 Hat Company, who have members from Toledo, Detroit and Seattle. If you walk out of the parlour, you’ll find another set of stairs leading to the top floor art gallery. It’s the 14th Annual Garage/Art and Horror Sale Part II, featuring fifteen local artists. If you take an immediate left as soon as you walk through the main front doors of the building, you’ll find Sean and Mike from local Americana/roots band, The Tillers, playing in Juney’s Lounge.

I hope the owners of Molly Malone’s know what they got themselves into. The third floor will turn into a madhouse tonight with the loud, guitar-driven rock from three great local bands: The Lions Rampant, who are up for a couple CEA’s this year including “Best Live Act” (they’ve also got their long-awaited debut full-length on the way), State Song, who have been nominated for a CEA for “Best New Artist” and also have their debut full-length on the way, and The Guitars (making their tenth public appearance), who are another great local band but somehow managed to slip through the cracks for a CEA nomination. Contact Molly Malone’s for ticket information and show times.
