Keep Off the Grass originally got together in 1985, but it took several years off before getting back together about a year-and-a-half ago.
They’re just out to have a good time, performing covers in three-part harmonies over acoustic rock. Keep Off the Grass performed “Peaceful, Easy,” “Blackbird,” “Signs,” “Drift Away” and “Seven Bridges” at the Go&Do Live Sessions. Check out Keep Off the Grass' entry on the Quat-City Times band database here. Thursday December 25, 2008

I was very thankful that I ran out of time to peruse thrift stores this weekend for a hideous ugly sweater because nobody wore one to the A Very Sexy X-Mas party featuring and Ugly Sweater Party at Nan’s Piano Bar on Tuesday night.
There was one couple wearing holiday sweaters, but the sweaters were nowhere near gaudy enough to fit the theme. I opted not to risk possibly offending the couple and just assumed their wardrobe choice was a coincidence rather than an attempt at an ugly sweater. However my disappointment at the chance to relive my college days at a theme party quickly faded when Tim Stopulos picked up his guitar. The Bettendorf native turned Chicago musician filled the piano bar with his warm voice, impressive range and dynamic guitar and piano styling. Stopulos played mostly covers, but his acoustic renditions of John Mayer’s “Why Georgia,” Justin Timberlake’s “Until the End of Time,” and The Killer’s “Mr. Brightside” were far more organic and enjoyable than the originals. Just as impressive as Stopulos’ performance was the standing room only crowd that filled the piano bar on a cold weeknight with snow in the forecast. These days I hear more managers and owners complaining about the weather and economy keeping customers out of their establishments, but Nan’s clearly isn’t having any problems bringing in a crowd. To keep their patrons rolling in Nan’s will start offering dueling pianos every Friday and Saturday nights starting Friday, Jan. 2. Nan’s will also institute a ladies night on Thursdays starting Jan. 8 and Jesse Anderson, general manager of the Freight House, said it’s not just going to be drink specials that the ladies can win, but the piano bar will give away a Coach purse every week. And in an issue close to my heart, Nan’s is also going to host more theme nights in the future, which means it’s time to dig out the bin in my basement filled with all the costumes I amassed during my days at Augustana.

The show, which runs until 10 p.m. tonight (Tuesday), features 18 bands and serves as a hunger drive benefitting the Christ United Methodist Church food pantry in East Moline. Sixteen-year-old Alex Hughes of Moline brought several canned goods along with boxes of macaroni and cheese to the show, one of the first he’s attended at Mixtapes. “It’s a good idea because a lot of people go to shows for good entertainment, and then benefitting people is also good,” he said. JT Tapia of Mixtapes said he was proud of the amount of food the teens brought in and expected more donations to come in after adult music fans got off work and headed to the show. XMess Fest was so named because it features a lineup of mostly experimental music. For instance, A.R.U., which is comprised of Randy Carter of Dubuque, Iowa, his samplers, drum machine and computer, performed rhythmic noise. Carter mixes break beats with world drumming to create samples and then layers other noise to create a sound that alternates between something that seems like it belongs in a club and, well, noise. Still up tonight are Owlbeat, We Are, Sinjo Thraw Mash, X+X, IdPyramid and Eyes. IF YOU GO What: XMess Fest When: Tuesday, Dec. 23 7-7:30 p.m. - Owlbeat 7:30-8 p.m. - We Are 8-8:30 p.m. - Sinjo Thraw Mash 8:30-9 p.m. - X+X 9-9:30 p.m. - IdPyramid 9:30-10 p.m. - Eyes Where: Mixtapes, 830 15th Ave., East Moline How much: $10, or $5 with a donation of canned goods Stephanie De Pasquale can be contacted at (563) 333-2639 or sdepasquale@qctimes.com.

I’m really trying to avoid sounding like a broken record, but there is yet another reason to go see Daytrotter Presents shows. The Dodos performed at Huckleberry’s Pizza Parlor in July, after a recording session at the Daytrotter.com studios in Rock Island. You can check out the story that was published on the Go&Do Web site and in the Quad-City Times to preview their show here.The band that Quad-Citians could have seen for $8 in July was featured today in Breaking, the music blog run by Rolling Stone magazine. Daytrotter also has brought in Vampire Weekend, Ani DiFranco, Spoon and many other rising names in the music industry. So, a trip to a Daytrotter show basically gives you pretty good odds of being able to say, “I saw them before they were famous.” Go bookmark daytrotter.com/promotion (the Web page where the upcoming shows are listed) and then go see the next big thing in music that we’re lucky to have in the Quad-Cities. If you go What: William Elliott Whitmore, with The Donkeys, Meth and Goats, and Pictures of Then When: 9 p.m. Jan. 17 Where: RIBCO, 1815 2nd Ave., Rock Island How much: $8 What: Rodriguez, with Quiet Bears When: 8 p.m. Jan. 23 Where: Huckleberry’s Pizza Parlor, 223 18th St., Rock Island How much: $10 What: Elf Power, with Vic Chesnutt When: 7 p.m. Feb. 1 Where: Huckleberry’s Pizza Parlor, 223 18th St., Rock Island How much: $10 Stephanie De Pasquale can be contacted at (563) 333-2639 or sdepasquale@qctimes.com.

Oh, the Ugly Sweater Christmas Party. It’s that time of year when you bring out the sweater your grandmother got you but you never wore because it has a three-dimensional reindeer on the front or is so busy it makes your eyes want to scream.
In other words, it’s the one occasion when you can wear all the ridiculous holiday sweaters you normally wouldn’t be caught dead in. The Bier Stube, 415 15th St., Moline, is hosting a Tacky Holiday Sweater and ‘80s Dance Party from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 20. And truly ugly sweaters and ‘80s dance music are a good fit because each really only needs to make an appearance once a year. Nan’s Piano Bar, 421 W. River Drive, Davenport is hosting an Ugly Sweater Party as part of its A Very Sexy X-Mas party from 8 p.m. to midnight Tuesday, Dec. 23. I’m not quite sure how sexy and ugly sweaters go together, but I’ll be going there to find out. I do have one problem. My grandmother has good taste, so I don’t have an ugly sweater. But I’m sure I can find one at a thrift store. Are any of you going to ugly sweater parties this holiday season and what do your sweaters look like? You can e-mail me pictures of your masterpieces at sdepasquale@qctimes.com and I’ll post them on this blog. If you go What: Tacky Holiday Sweater and ‘80s Dance Party When: 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., Saturday, Dec. 20 Where: Bier Stube, 415 15th St., Moline How much: Free Information: bier-stube.com If you go What: A Very Sexy X-Mas, featuring an Ugly Sweater Party When: 5 p.m. to midnight Tuesday, Dec. 23, with the Ugly Sweater Party beginning at 8 p.m. Where: Nan’s Piano Bar, 421 W.

The District was dead in the early evening hours of Saturday except for RIBCO, which welcomed a healthy crowd to the Love Is All and Crystal Stilts performances.
Love Is All, which recently received glowing reviews from Spin and Blender magazines for its release “A Hundred Things Keep Me Up at Night,” did not disappoint. Josephine Olausson, on vocals and keyboard for the Swedish band, kept the crowd engaged throughout the 45-minute set and proved to be just as much fun live as she sounds like on the CD. I love her voice, which is very soft when she speaks but turns into an updated version of ‘80s pop, marked by staccato words and phrases in different pitches, when singing. The crowd surrounded the stage and was clearly having a good time, which is always easier to do when you can tell the band members are enjoying themselves, too, as Love Is All was Saturday. And while most Daytrotter shows have an intimate feel to them because they are held nearby at Huckleberry’s Pizza Parlor, the concert atmosphere that RIBCO provided only helped to enhance the show. I wasn’t as impressed with the Crystal Stilts. I enjoyed their music, but couldn’t understand a word singer Brad Hargett said. I just have a hard time connecting with a band when I can’t make out what it is they’re singing about. I’m sure my preferences regarding diction come from the vocal exercises my college choir director made us practice over and over again so that all our consonants and vowels wouldn’t get lost.

I’ve been to the casinos twice in the three years since I turned 21: once on my 21st birthday, when I won $5 and called it a night, and a second time this past weekend when I fared a little better.
As you can tell, I’m not much of a gambler, but I found myself at the Isle in Bettendorf for a special occasion Friday night. I don’t intend to make a habit of going because I tend to get more nervousness than pleasure from playing the slot machines, especially when it only takes a few minutes to blow through $20. But I can say that if I ever find myself at a casino for a special occasion again, I’m going to insist that the party goes to one in Illinois because I didn’t realize until Friday how much I enjoy coming home without smelling like cigarette smoke. I did see more University of Illinois sweatshirts in the hour I was at the Isle than I have in the past 10 months since I moved to the Iowa side of the Mississippi River. So, assuming they’re all from the Illinois half of the Quad-Cities, I’d say Illinois smokers are loving the casino exemption in the Iowa smoking ban. Are there any Illinois smokers out there who can attest to this? And how about any other people who are glad they don’t have to deodorize their coats after every night out during the wintertime?

Hey all. Things got a little crazy around here on Friday and this didn't get posted so some of the info is dated, but RIBCO still offers a password each week to get a discount on shows so I figured it was still worthwhile to post.
Want to go see live music tonight but can’t afford the cover? RIBCO has a solution that means more green for the environment — and your wallet. RIBCO has begun offering a pass phrase each week that is revealed through MySpace bulletins and to members of the downtown Rock Island bar’s e-mail list. The special phrase, which changes weekly, gets those in the know a discount off the cover charge. The bar used to print coupons, but now it’s just using the phrase in order to be more environmentally friendly. Those who repeat this week’s phrase to the doorman will get $2 off the $6 cover for Minus Six, with Mer at 10 p.m. tonight or for Saturday’s Spiritual Rex, with Bumper Crop show, also beginning at 10 p.m. The pass phrase is not good for Love is All, with the Crystal Stilts since that show is taking place in conjunction with Daytrotter.com. The cover for Love Is All is $5, and the show begins at 5 p.m. This week’s pass phrase is “Bonsai.” But in order to get the phrase after this week, you’ll have to become a RIBCO friend at myspace.com/ribcomusic or sign up for RIBCO’s e-mail list at ribco.com.

The only time Thorn took a break was to step aside while one of the other members showed off their jazz chops on the drums, bass, guitar or tenor saxophone. Thorn’s rap and hip hop laid over the rest of the band’s jazz and funk sounds, while not a typical musical combination, works for The Uniphonics. The catchy riffs and lyrics that always circle back to some mention of Iowa City, or IC, have a way of supporting each other. One particularly entertaining song was “Iowa City,” in which Thorn lists off a plethora of night spots the band has played at and I somehow have managed to visit in the two trips I’ve made to the college town. He then makes the case that Iowa City is the place to be, not Chicago, Madison, Wis., St. Paul, Minn., or any other major Midwest city. In an interview to preview the show, The Uniphonics referred to “Iowa City” as the anthem the city needed. The Uniphonics will be back at RIBCO on January 23, with Animate Objects.

The Go&Do Live Sessions at Mojo’s Cafe scheduled for tonight has been postponed because of inclement weather.
Quad-City area bands Rusted Hook, Moral Belief and Rule No. 1 will perform instead on Tuesday, Jan. 6, with the times for their sets to be announced. Six to the Chest and Uh Huh will be rescheduled as part of the Go&Do Live Sessions either Jan. 12 or 13. All performances will be at Mojo’s Cafe, 129 N. Main St., Davenport.

Thankfully the weather, which didn’t turn out to be as bad as predicted, didn’t stop folks from coming out to support local music at Monday’s Go&Do Live Sessions.
About 40 to 50 people filled Mojo’s Cafe, with the crowd thinner at the beginning and end of the evening. But the music was definitely worth coming out for.
The Kaps started off the night, and considering most Quad-City venues won’t book rap groups, I was pretty excited to help break the stereotype surrounding the genre by booking them on the Live Sessions. Next came Keep Off The Grass, an acoustic band that uses hand drums in place of a standard drum kick and performs classic rock songs in perfect three-part harmony. They were a real treat.
Following in the stellar vocal standard set by Keep Off The Grass were Huge Hefner and Cosmic. Both bands played rock covers, with Hugh Hefner focusing on ’80s and ’90s hits and Cosmic playing hits from several decades.
I particularly enjoyed the Huge Hefner set list, which included “Tubthumping,” “Blister in the Sun,” “Walk Like an Egyptian,” “We Got the Beat” and “Immigrant Song.” These are the songs I grew up listening to, so while I hate to admit it, I was pretty excited to hear Chumbawamba, whose record I may have played over and over again in junior high.
Closing out the night was the always-animated Head Held High. Lead singer Jeff Loder is currently working on writing a rock opera for the band, and I can’t wait to see what he and his quick wit come up with.
Tomorrow we have a lineup of rock ’n’ roll and metal. It’s going to be a loud night, but in today’s economy, you can’t go wrong with a free show.

I don’t really know what I was thinking when I wore a short-sleeved shirt, ballet flats and no gloves, scarf or hat to the Gallery Hop! I’ve been to the Hop! several times before as a caroler with the Augustana Women’s Ensemble when I was a student at Augustana College.
Back then, I’d bundle up in several layers of socks and sweaters, even donning two pairs of gloves and topping it all off with snow boots, scarves and a hat. I realized my mistake as soon as I got out of my car and headed straight to Theo’s Java Club to get a mocha, which I desperately clung to as a hand warmer for the rest of the night. Theo’s drew an eclectic crowd of most 20-somethings to see the artwork of Marty “M.J. Heat” Jones, who also performed with his band X+X. I saw some of Jones’ artwork when I interviewed him for a story to preview the Multimedia Happening, which was part of the Gallery Hop! But one very interesting piece that I didn’t get a chance to see was a skull made of keys from a broken electric board fixed to a black board. When Jones and Multimedia Happening organizer William Martin took the stage to provide what Martin previously said would be some cool jams, there seemed to be far more instruments on stage than the two would need. But soon Martin on cow bell and hand drums and Jones on guitar were joined by audience members who picked up the other instruments and started improving with them. The sound got very loud, very quickly with the highlight coming when Jones started to play the guitar with a violin bow, creating an eerie, sad sound. Then for a completely different change of pace, I headed to Quad-City Arts, which was filled with a more mature crowd and young couples on dates. One woman on a date was wearing a thin, knee-length dress that made me feel less stupid about forgetting to bundle up. One of the more interesting artists work on display for the event were carvings of wooden cottages by Larry Westmorland. One of his larger models looked like it could have been plucked right out of a fairy tale. But the current exhibit by Matt Moyer, whose works of pipes and other industrial materials that have been fused together, are what drew in the most gazes by onlookers. I found an even more mature crowd at Left Bank Art League, where wine and cheese were offered instead of the hot chocolate and sweets at other locations. Artist Judy D. Gray was on hand, creating a piece while Hop! attendees looked on. She also had several works displayed depicting flowers painted with such vibrant blues, reds and greens that a three-dimensional effect was created. The cold aside, it was a fun evening and I enjoyed seeing shops open in The District that normally are closed in the evenings. What artists and stops on the Gallery Hop! did you all enjoy most?

Chrash delivers on album and at live show
Posted by: Stephanie De Pasquale at 10:06AM CST on December 4, 2008
More often than not, I come across bands that are either good live or good in the studio. My favorite country group, the Drew Davis Band, falls into this category. They put on an amazing live show, but they have trouble capturing the same intensity in the studio.
But the Quad-City band Chrash Flood proved Saturday night that it can deliver on both fronts. Chrash Flood just released its third album, “The Name They Change,” with Future Appletree Studio 1. Chris Bernat, the lead singer, credits Pat Stolley for the record’s sound, and Stolley was on hand at RIBCO to run sound for the band’s CD release show. The instruments and vocals were at just the right level so each part was clearly audible, with no one member trying to show off. This was most evident in Paul Blomquist’s performance on drums, which was crisp without being overpowering. Bernat also demonstrated enunciation skills I’ve only heard previously in classically trained vocalists. No matter the volume or intensity of his voice, I could understand every word and hear every consonant. Add to that his ability to steadily stay on pitch during elongated vowels and emotion-filled expressions and you have one quality performer. At the CD release party, Chrash Flood performed “The Wish Song,” “Aging Aircraft” “American Spirit,” “Raised by Gays,” “The Excess Parade” and “Clap Jordan,” all off “The Name They Change.” The band also performed “Spin Cycle Brainwash,” one of four new songs it has written since recording “The Name They Change” last year. Since adding Eric Stone on keyboard and guitar over the summer, Chrash Flood has put more space into its songs. The effect was positive, giving the tunes room to breathe, and the songs are still true interpretations of the album. For more information about Chrash Flood, check out previous stories published by the Quad-City Times on the band.

Starting today Daytrotter will offer four free songs to download seven days a week as opposed to the usual five days. The extra days are part of a trial run, which if all goes well this month will be continued throughout 2009.
Daytrotter, a Web site run by Sean Moeller of Davenport, records up and coming bands in its Rock Island studio and offers the songs for free.
Releasing recording sessions from a different band each day of the week, means more than 1,460 free songs for your mp3 player by the likes of Death Cab for Cutie, Of Montreal, Spoon, Vampire Weekend, Ani DiFranco and plenty more up and coming bands and artists.
The Hush Sound, which toured with Fall Out Boy and All-American Rejects, is the first band featured under the one band a day format.
