From Eric Blowtorch
Hipsters! Flipsters! Cats & kittens of
consciousness!
This, what you are about to receive, is MEWZICK.
10 am-noon every Saturday (or Sunday in case of
rain/snow/firestorm): I, NINE-VOLT ERIC, bang my
guitar outside Brady Street Pharmacy, 1696 N. Astor
St. (@ Brady St. - duh) Call 272-4384 for details,
prescriptions, and lunch counter reservations.
This Saturday, June 14, at Pere Marquette Park on Old
World 3rd (KING DRIVE ALL THE WAY) and State, I,
ELECTRIC ERIC BLOWTORCH, will sing and bang my guitar
as part of the Voices for Peace concert also featuring
Robyn Pluer, Mrs. Fun, and Taste Emcees. The concert
lasts from noon to 10 pm; I am scheduled to start at
1:35. Peace Action of Milwaukee is hosting this show
in an effort to inform music lovers about the causes
and FX of war ('What is it good for? It's good for
business!' -Billy Bragg). Admission is freedom.
This Sunday, June 15, at Club Caribe on the northwest
corner of Center and Humboldt, in the dance hall in
the back, the MIGHTY DJANGO HI-FI rolls on with
Jamaican records from 9 pm to 1 in the mornin'. Call
378-8351 for information. Admission is mandatory.
Next Thursday, June 19, ERIC B AND DAVIM spin dope
dance discs manufactured after the first Moon Landing
at River Horse, 701 E. Center St. (@ Pierce St.), from
10 to closing time. Admission is all right.
Next Saturday, June 21, ERIC BLOWTORCH and the
INFLAMMABLES meet the UPTOWN SAVAGES inna Cudahy at
Vnuk's Lounge, 5036 S. Packard Ave. (@ Martin, just
just off the the southern end of Hwy. 794) Rock 'n'
roll will stand. Admission will cost you dearly.
Sunday, June 22, the MIGHTY DJANGO HI-FI begins a
month of Sundays at Sol Fire, 2014 N. Farwell Ave.
(between Lafayette & Windsor) I will spin Jamaican
records from 9 to 1; call 291-0232 for information.
Admission is nothin'.
Thursday, June 26, TASTE EMCEES meet ERIC BLOWTORCH
and the INFLAMMABLES and ARMAGIDEON and a DJ, so I'm
told, at Onopa Brewing Co., 735 E. Center St. (@
Fratney) in a benefit show for Riverwest Currents, the
Community Voice of Milwaukee's Left Bank. Call
265-7278 for information. Admission is well worth it.
Monday, June 30, I, DJ ERIC BLOWTORCHI, will spin
Cuban records from 9 pm to midnight at Trocadero, 1758
N. Water St. (@ Pierce St., just west of Van Buren).
Call 272-0205 if you like. Admission es gratis.
Tuesday, July 1, ERIC BLOWTORCH and the INFLAMMABLES
sing and play, for tomorrow we die and go straight to
H***, at the Starbucks/Ticketmaster Legends Stage,
just outside the Marcus Amphitheater, Summerfest, from
5:30 to 7:30 pm. Admission is a pretty penny, my
friend.
Sunday, July 6, at the Riverwest Gardeners Market on
Locust and Bremen, I, ELECTRIC ERIC BLOWTORCH, will
sing and bang my guitar from noon to 3 p.m. Admission
is a-ight.
Media moguls: I am *not* spinning records at Frank's
Power Plant on Tuesdays, nor have I done so in many
months. I am *not* spinning records at Onopa Brewing
Company on Sundays, either. Thank you. Say you're
welcome.
Stay cool
Stay free
Stay alive
Eric
