Conor Byrne Pub, 5140 Ballard Ave. NW
9pm / $7 / free copy of Ball of Wax 30 CD with entry
I’m thrilled to bring Ball of Wax back to the bosom of the Conor Byrne to celebrate the release of our 30th (!) installment. It’s been a long time since the Volume 3 and 4 shows that we held there, and I just know it’s going to be tons of fun.
I thought about trying to come up with some kind of clever theme that would appropriately mark this auspicious occasion. But then I realized that the best thing to do would just be to collect as much great new music as I could, regardless of theme, which was how this whole thing started in the first place.
And people have delivered! I’ve got new songs from the five artists playing this show, along with unreleased tracks from local favorites and should-be-favorites such as The Glass Notes, Gems, The Great Um, Joshua Morrison‘s new band Poor Neighbors, Rick Wright of Wesafari‘s new project Sides, Screens, and much much more from Missoula, Chicago, New York, Ireland, and elsewhere. This thing is chock full of great music; the final running time of its 19 tracks will come very close to the 80 minutes that can fit on a CD-R. As always, everyone who comes to the show will get a free copy of the CD, in its lovingly hand-silkscreened packaging, to take home with them and love and cherish.
See you on the 24th!
