Lark Tavern, Sunday
The Rev Records, a new local re- cord label founded by local
mover and shaker Harith Abdullah, is initiating a monthly
performance series to be held at the Lark Tavern on the last
Tuesday of every month. This Sunday there will be a concert
and bake sale (yes, you read that correctly) to kick off the
series. The featured performers (all Rev artists) are Laura
Boggs (whose recent CD, Whiskey & Springtime, was released
in November), Tom McWatters, Matt McWatters, Jared Funari,
Bessam Sam, the Xylophones, and Sgt. Dunbar and the Hobo
Banned. The party will continue post-live-music with the
help of DJ Lady Luck. So join the cast of the Rev Records’
family and buy my treats (unfortunately, we cannot guarantee
that there will be “special” brownies available). All
proceeds go to support the label. Also: We heard rumors of a
rock-paper-scissors tournament taking place, but don’t quote
us on that. (March 25, 8 PM, free, 453 Madison Ave., Albany,
463-9779)
Play: Sgt. Dunbar and the Hobo Banned - Dave's Song

GZ is putting on a band show to raise money for the "Troy
Cinema and Visual Arts Group." The group is going to put on
a series of screenings of art-house movies in various places
in Troy, for cheap. Eventually, they want to have enough
money to get their own theater. And, it's being headed by
Ground Zero co-founder Will Gill.
Anti-Jazz Quartet Ensemble -- Disgusted by the pretentious
nature of modern jazz and avant-garde music, the Anti-Jazz
Quartet Ensemble seeks to undermine the conventions of the
experimental music world. In the same vein as the punks of
the 1970s, the quartet takes this "high-art" form and places
it in the hands of average rock musicians and listeners.
While the music may be experimental, it is not alienating.
On a Scale of 1 to 10 -- Epic post-rock in the vein of
Explosions in the Sky. From soft, ambient melodies to
driving crescendos
