Thursday 9/27/2007 9:00 PM 21+ $15.00 Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals with All Smiles Best known for his tenure in the hard-to-peg-down Welsh outfit Super Furry Animals, Gruff Rhys has a long history in British rock. Born in 1970, Rhys played in Creation Records' Emily as well as Ffa Coffi Pawb, but his first foray into the musical arts was at the ripe age of five, when he wrote an odd little number about a train driver who's contemplating his own death. In 1990, a chance meeting helped lead to the development of what would become Super Furry Animals. First a left-field techno group, then later a whacked-out guitar group, SFA got much of its character and respect from Rhys' outlandish and obscure lyrical slants. After many critically acclaimed singles and full-lengths, Rhys released his solo outing Yr Atal Genhedlaeth in 2005. And in true Gruff Rhys form, it was an entirely Welsh affair. He followed up the release with a small sampling of dates in his native homeland. WhenSuper Furry Animals moved to Rough Trade, the label also picked up Rhys' solo work and released his second album, Candylion, early in 2007. The album was released by Team Love in the U.S. shortly afterward.

Graham Parker
Where: Beverly Arts Center
Date: 2007-11-03 20:00:00
Type:
$30 Graham Parker's original rock and roll style is rooted in his love of American R&B, country and soul. He started his career in England's 1970's pub rock scene but didn't establish himself as an artist until he assembled Graham Parker & The Rumour and released the critically acclaimed "Howlin' Wind" in 1975. A singer/songwriter, novelist and short story writer, the talented Parker continues to record and perform innovative music. With Chicago's Bloodshot Records since the mid-2000s, Parker recently recorded the acclaimed "Songs of No Consequence" with his occasional back-up band The Figgs.

Kathleen Edwards
Where: Shank Hall
Date: 2008-05-01 20:00:00
Type:
Kathleen Edwards' 2002 debut album, 'Failer,' released before her 25th birthday, showcased the singer/songwriter's striking lyrics and innate musicality. She has begun to establish herself as one of the most compelling young female live performers on the scene today. The distorted cry of a lap steel guitar slices through the night. A voice sings with aching sweetness and strength. Caressing melodies are barbed with stinging solos. This is the sound of The Last Town Chorus.
