Should you make that big move? Is it time to dump your boyfriend? Demand a raise? Run for office? ASK THE ORACLE - All your questions answered in song! Back by popular demand, Boston-based band Jim’s Big Ego (www.bigego.com) re-teams with writer/actor/musician and radio mystic, Andras Jones for the return of an original interactive theater production entitled The Ego & The Oracle - an evening of rock and roll divination. Part experimental theater, part rock and roll cabaret, part mystic mind-expansion, The Ego & The Oracle is a live stage spectacular where “Magic 8 Ball meets iPod Shuffle”. The premise is as simple as it is unique. Audience members are invited on stage to ask questions of The Oracle. They then spin a wheel containing Jim’s Big Ego’s songs. When the wheel stops, the band spontaneously performs the chosen song, which in turn is interpreted as the answer to the question. The outcome can be humorous or moving, often both at once. It is a show about synchronicity and it’s hard to experience it without getting the sense that the universe is not only in tune, but that it also has a great sense of rhythm. The Ego & The Oracle returns to Jimmy Tingle's Off Broadway Theater for a limited run that starts the weekend of April 27, 28, 29, and continues every Sunday through June 17.

End of an Empire Presents: Tiny Vipers (Sub Pop) Alela Diane (Holocene Music) $8. All ages. The subtle, largely acoustic music of Tiny Vipers is the project of Seattle-based singer/songwriter Jesy Fortino, a self-taught guitarist whose intricate playing and lonesome vocals give her work a uniquely haunting quality. A friend working at Sub Pop brought her to the label's attention, and Fortino signed with them in 2006. Her debut EP for Sub Pop, Hands Across the Void, arrived in summer 2007. http://www.subpop.com/artists/tiny_vipers http://myspace.com/tinyvipersss "Now here's a lovely surprise. A singer-songwriter who hails from Nevada City, California, and currently resides in Portland, Oregon, Alela Diane has a voice that seems far older than her early-twenty-something years. Her sing-songy tunes are honest and earthy, her diction intense and mannered but never pretentious. [Her] songs–plaintive vocals accompanied by a slight guitar and backing vocals, often little else–seem situated perfectly between the parlor and the campfire." - Amazon http://aleladiane.com/ http://myspace.com/alelamusic http://www.holocenemusic.com/aleladiane/

Indiana's Murder by Death layers the vocal sounds of an old saloon with the haunting strings of an Hungarian folk dance and the hard driving rhythms of pure rock n' roll, producing what Stuff magazine has called "lush, orchestrated songs," somehow simultaneously reminiscent of Johnny Cash and Radiohead. Mixing funk influences with equal parts of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, Maryland's Clutch has created a unique, contemporary metal sound.
