New Shows: Michael Franti & Spearhead, Yard Dogs Road Show, Greg Dulli

Michael Franti & Spearhead

An enjoyable blend of rap/rock/reggae/pop. His shows are fun, but look at the ticket prices? Yikes.

Yard Dogs Road Show

Part play, part musical, part strip tease, part insanity. This is one of the strangest shows I've seen, but a ton of fun. Highly recommended, especially for only $16.

Wonder Ballroom, Portland

Greg Dulli

Half of the Gutter Twins and front man of the Afghan Whigs. I will always remember his rant last time he appeared at the Doug Fir as the Gutter Twins. There was a group of females stage left near the wall who didn't realize they were at a live show, while nearly everyone else was quiet. After Mark Lanegan finished a mellow tune, Greg said something along the lines of, "You just missed a beautiful song because you can't stop talking."

I'm not sure this group even knew he was referring to them, as the giggling continued, combined with the fake smile, "why is everyone staring at us, oh well."
