Jason Webley Returns to Kickoff 2011! 1/7 (A 1 Man Underground)

Thursday, December 9th, 2010

Jason Webley has been called “A One Man Underground” and a maker of “Music that tears itself apart.”

Hey Look, Death flys, and plays accordion

Music that tears itself apart!

http://www.jasonwebley.com

“I don’t care what kind of music you say you like, if you aren’t thrilled to be alive after a Jason Webley show, you may have no heart to thrill.” –JRC, Co-owner of The Trunk Space

Jason Webley is, at his simplest, a accordion playing folk musician.
Leaving the description there however would do a great disservice to his awesome power as a showman.
Simply put, I don’t think we’ve ever had an performer so capable of wowing an audience.

He is touring in support of his new release: “Eleven Saints” about which Neil Gaiman (author of SANDMAN & Coraline) said “I cannot get these songs out of my head!”

He has toured with the Dresden Dolls, and just released a Graphic Novel with Amanda Palmer, based on the same Album, Eleven Saints. (http://www.darkhorse.com/Books/16-906/Evelyn-Evelyn)

“Webley howls at the rafters with the courage and conviction of a long-gone sailor, and seduces the candlelight with melodies as delicate as a gossamer balloon; he pumps the bellows like a Romanian wedding singer and feathers the keys like a desert drifter.” -San Francisco Weekly

Please, visit his website, but, if you are unimpressed after listening to some songs, remember that its his talent as a live performer that will really win you over.
Do not miss this show!

Local support will be the toe taping amazing Haymarket Squares!

Casiotone for the Painfully Alone on July 25th!

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009


<br>”The sound of Casiotone recalls the spooky, lo-fi years of His Name Is Alive, the dark mood of later-era Tom Waits, and the melodic hyperactivity of legendary Eighties one-man outfit the Silicon Teens. Ashworth’s lyrics capture the soul of the loser in love. Woe is the guy who screws up the right opportunity to talk to the pretty girl he spies at the supermarket (“Rice Dream Girl” from Casiotone’s self-released debut, Answering Machine Music: A Brief Album in Twelve Parts).” –The Miami Times.
with Concern, locals Back Ted’N Ted
