One Troubadour's Better Than None

For those of you in Troubadour withdrawal, you at least can catch two of Mark Noone's other personalities this weekend. See alter ego number 1 when The Hula Monsters play Lubber Run Park in Arlington, VA, Saturday evening from 8 until 9:30. (free)
(Come on out, buy a Hawaiian shirt, and get down and luau.)

Mark will also be singing Slickee Boys' style with The Beatnik Flies backing him up at the big (make that humongous) dc space reunion at the 9:30 club on Sunday. This event will not only make history, but will also benefit a very cool cat, Tom Terrell, who is fighting cancer for his life. Twenty buck donation to get in; doors open at 4 p.m., and the performances go on until 1 a.m.
A lot of bang for that donated buck. See DC ROCKS for more details.

(Mark and The Flies are scheduled at 8:45.)

It's A Wrap

Jackie's was the happening spot last night when The Troubadours played for a wrap up party for the A.F.I.'s Silver Docs film festival in her back room. Cool little couches and chairs and lighting - the whole thing made you think you were in L.A., not our once old fashioned home town, now up and running megaloplis called Silver Spring. It was also the wrap up for Mark Noone's birthday and his fourth gig in three days, but he got to see his old buddy and former Slickee boy, John Chumbris, up visiting from Atlanta. Fun night, fun party, and, of course, great music.
