It’s a Tacomavaganza!

Last time a bunch of my favorite musicians performed in Tacoma, I just happened to be outta town. Well, not this weekend, baby! A bunch of great musical acts are gonna be in Tacoma this Saturday night, and I’m gonna be there! Yeah! Oh yeah!

• The Jesus Rehab: 2-Person Seattle RAWK.
• Terrapin: 1-person, loopy, spaced-out guitar goodtimes.
• Back from Hiatus: I confess I’ve never heard of them, but I’ll listen to some of their stuff tonight.
• TREVOR PEACH!!!!!!! The world’s best worst emo musician EVAR.

All of these musics happen at the lovely retro New Frontier Lounge down near the Tacoma Dome. Just a stone’s throw from my house (if you throw a stone, then drive for ten minutes).

As a two-for-one, here is Trevor Peach performing a Jesus Rehab song:

Let’s do this.

To me, my Tacomans. Let’s all go!

Something pretty amazing happened at the show at Le Voyeur on Friday (the show I told you about last week). Emo artist extraordinaire Trevor Peach did a cover of The Jesus Rehab‘s “Long Way to Fall!”

Trevor makes it seem like “Long Way to Fall” was written by him! Very good; I like.

Oh, and by the way, I did end up having a date to the show… and it was also kind of a crazily nostalgic show, because there were a handful of people there whom I hadn’t seen in quite a while. It was weirdly like old times! ^_^

This Friday night (September 13th) I am trekking down to Olympia to see a show at Le Voyeur!

Friday, 9/13 at 10:00 PM!

“Why?” you ask. Well, because of three reasons. Those three reasons are three of the performers:

• Trevor Peach
  Who is Trevor Peach? Trevor peach is a reclusive, ultra-emo musician. He rarely plays shows; we can sometimes get him to perform a song at Fools Play’s Christmas shows. As his bio on last.fm says:

  An overly emo singer songwriter, Trevor Peach feels that Life is pretty terrible, and so he makes a lot of music. Many people have hurt him and he is too sad to defend himself.

  Trevor Peach holds a special place in my musical heart. I even did an 8-bit cover of one of his songs! Here is my version (which is much more uptempo and in a different time signature).

  Trevor Peach has recorded a handful of albums, but has never actually released any of them, so they’re hard to come by. There is actually a Trevor Peach MySpace page (if you can believe it) with a handful of songs you can listen to.

• The Old Salt
  Who is The Old Salt? The Old Salt is a musical pseudonym of Esa Hakkarainen, Fools Play’s own Periwinkle Fool! His music is kind of experimental ambient folk noise. Kind of. This is the first song of The Old Salt’s that I heard, so take a wissen youself.

• Frances Rose
  Who is Frances Rose? Well, Frances Rose is actually the name of a guitar. It’s a guitar that is held and played by an absolutely, stunningly gorgeous woman with an amazing voice. Seriously: breathtaking.

  She doesn’t have any albums out, but you’d best believe I’m itching for one.

So there are quite a few Fools Play connections associated with this show, which is pretty awexome. There is only one problem: I don’t have anyone to go with me! My preggers wife does not feel up to staying out that late (the show doesn’t even start until 10:00) with a full seven-month preggers belly. And my usual show-going buddy has a prior agreement. So that begs the question:

WHO WILL BE MY DATE TO SEE TREVOR PEACH!?

I am taking applications now! Seriously, this should be a really fun and funny show. Here is the Facebook event for it, and here is a map to Le Voyeur (it’s right on 4th Ave in downtown Olympia):

I’ll see you there!

Well, folks, here it is, my (aka Saucecore‘s) first-ever finished song, with vocals and everything!

It’s a cover of Trevor Peach’s classic “Glasses or Bottles of Port.” Partake and enjoy! FREE DOWNLOAD!
