JayceLand's Weekly Rochester Events #112. Great Bulb, Tom
| Let's see ... I went out and had a wild-ish weekend last week. I saw this weird experimental music at Piranha(204 N. Water St.)on Friday night. It was the first time I'd been there and boy is it wild. Well, at least the layout lends itself to being wild. The people and activities seemed pretty tame. I assume the night owls are kinda strange. Anyway, on Saturday I saw this show atThe Bug Jar(219 Monroe Ave.)with White Cotton Panties (well, at least Meghan and Steve were there with a guest appearance by Marianne and will-play-for-anything Rob on drums and this guy Dan or Dave on bass) The Grinders and Kitty in the Tree from New York. There were a couple guys there supposedly making a movie about garage bands and they took some footage of The Grinders. Well, as you can see, I took some footage of them taking some footage. Rumor has it the film is being made to be submitted at Sundance. We'll see. In other less exciting but nonetheless cool news, The Lone Gunmen,the spinoff of the nerdy guys from The X-Files premieres this week. Hopefully Jan will begenerous enough to allow us to ransack his place once again for that. |  |

This is very odd to mention ...The all-girl 60's-sounding band It's My Partywill be playing atTurning Pointe School of Dance(1260 Ridge Rd., Ontario, NY)from 7 to 9:30. They play some of their own songs and some songs from the '50's and '60's.Oh yeah, it's odd to mention because one of the singers, Aubrey, is the daughter of Rick from Kodak. She's the one on the left on the album cover of their CD,Can I Get to Know You Better?,available at Amazon. I'm getting too old for this sh...stuff. The Dryden TheateratGeorge Eastman House(900 East Ave.)will be showingThe Lifestyle starting at 8.It's a documentary about the life of swingers in the 90's.
