![[Nightflying Notes From The Pub]](http://www.nightflying.com/pub.gif)
It is finally Spring in the Altered State, and not a
second too soon. The outdoor shows are going crazy, and there are many
excellent beer gardens and venues to choose from.
Riverfest is getting in gear to invade downtown
Little Rock, and this year there are many exciting bands in store (of
course, there always are…) Set to appear, in no certain order, mind
you, are Heart, Willie Nelson, Buddy Guy, Trout Fishing In America,
American Princes, The B-52s, Hinder, Riverbilly, A Good Fight, Bobby
Brown, 3 Doors Down, Tone Loc, Johnny Gil, Jason Aldean, the Benjy
Davis Project, Heads Of State, Ralph Tresvant, and dozens more…
Sticky Fingerz checks in this month with a roster
worth writing home about.
Set to appear in the coming weeks are James Lepine,
Flash LaRue, Paul Sammons, Ryan Bingham & Dead Horses, Falcon
Scott, Stars Go Dim, The See, The Red Suite, Detroit Cobras, The Dexter
Romweber Duo, Mr. LIF, School of Seven Bells, Del Castillo, Jonathan
Tyler & Northern Lights, Matt Joyce, Bonnie Prince Billy, The
Bachelorette, Cotton Jones, Miniature Tigers, Infinite Stringdusters,
The Mt. St. Helen's Vietnam Band, The Venus Mission, Autovaughn and The
Benjamin Del Shreve Band.
I was able to catch several sets of Benjamin Del
Shreve at the club recently, and all I can say is WOW! I've always
liked this band, but I have to say I'd never heard them in quite this
vein before. Ultimately, the group can actually create downright
psychedelic sounds live, without resorting to synthesizers and such.
Rather, they use their voices and instruments to create a wall of
colorful sound that's both captivating and exciting. Carefully
orchestrated solos, multiple guitar harmonies and leads, well-placed
screams and, well, gutteral sounds all combine to twist the listeners'
ears and senses, making this one of the most interesting live bands
I've ever heard.
See Kody Ford's feature on the band elsewhere in
this issue, and make a point to see them live. You'll thank me after
you do for turning you on to this fine band.
For bookings at Sticky Fingerz, contact Chris King
at (501)372-1151…….
On down at the other end of the Market is, of
course, The Rev Room, which is the River Market's concert venue. This
beautiful facility combines a huge show room with a Cuban-American
restaurant, and a very cool outdoor deck fully in view of the RiverFest
Amphitheatre and the Arkansas River.
Set to appear in the coming weeks are The Thermals,
Shaky Hands, Magic Hassle, Out of Ashes, The Gettys, American Princes'
120 Minutes of the 90s, Afternoon Delight, the incomparable Cowboy
Mouth, The Eli Young Band, The Carder Twins, Ryan Couron, Jared Lawler,
Ewell, The Sleepy Genius, Jason Boland & The Stragglers, Cory Lamb,
Randy Rogers & Wade Bowen doing an all acoustic tour, Rigby Fawkes,
The Spring Standards, So Much For Summer, Tragikly White, Billy Joe
Shaver, The Hill Country Revue, Curtis Salgado, and Tragikly Gettys, a
hybrid of two of Arkansas' most popular bands.
For bookings contact Chris King at (501)372-1151…….
There are many other music haunts in the River
Market of course and you can have a time bouncing up and down the
street doing a pub crawl, and with the warmer weather it's perfect
entertainment.
The White Water Tavern checks in with another
stellar line-up, but then they do that every month.
On the bill this month are Dylan Sneed, Midwest
Caravan, Street Corner Matodors, Pope County Bootleggers, Frown Power,
The Weisenheimers, Mr. Bear, The Damn Bullets, The Patrick Sweany Band,

Uncle Luscious, Cedric Burnside & Lightnin' Malcolm, Amereican
Aquarium, Kevin Gordon, Ace Spade & The Whores of Babylon, and
many, many more.
Be sure to check out the Arkansas Rockers Revue
every Tuesday. There's no cover charge and you get the chance to hear 3
or so new bands in one night.

(501)375-8400……
Coming to Juanita's in the next month are Fracture,
Sangre, One Theory, Deja Blu, Throbbing Testicles, Flameing Daeth

Prozac, Body Drop, Goldylocks, Wishtribe, A Plea For Mercy, Thursday
Thursday, Joe's Head & The Four Kicks and many dozens more. See the
complete line-up in our Sound pages…but you already know that, eh?
Juanita's is one of my favorite haunts of all time.
Why? It's a combination of the sound quality and general ambiance of
the place. With all the music played there for a couple decades, that
room has soaked up some amazing musical energy…and you can feel it by
just walking in the place.
For bookings at Juanita's call Erin Hurley at
(501)374-3660…….
Down the street, MidTown Billiards continues to be,
of course, Little Rock's answer to New Orleans. The smoky bar is open 7
days a week, has a seriusly overflowing bar, myriad pool tables, live
bands every weekend, the world's most excellent cheeseburger, and a
wild and crazy crowd of regulars that consider it their home away from
home.
Indeed, this is where the nightclub crowd ends most
nights after they get off from their own clubs.
Coming up at the club are The Chilly Rose
Band, FreeVerse, The Pope County Bootleggers, SugarFree Allstars,
Nathan Hamilton & The New Deal, The Joe Pitts Band, The Duo,
Interstate Buffalo, and much more.
Bands interested in booking the room should contact
Conan at (501)372-7110, or email him at moeman03@comcast.net…….
Congratulations to Zack's Place, at 1400 So.
University, on hitting another great anniversary. The club is fast
becoming a music hangout, at least on weekends. Of course it's been a
club hang for many years, but they only recently kicked out the walls,
built a band area and began featuring live bands.
Set to appear in the coming weeks are the Shannon
Boshears Band, NTO, Mike Dollins & The Cruize Brothers, The Port
Arthur Band, Kickback and The Blue Haze Band.
Zack's also features Live Trivia, Live Texas Hold
'Em, NTN Trivia & Poker, poo; tables, a 135" flat projection
screen, a large dance floor, a huge dart area, live djs and really good
food (homemade plate lunches!) What's more, you can dine from their
full menu until late night.
For bookings you can reach the club at
(501)664-6444…….
One of the best kept secrets of Central Arkansas has
got to be The Markham Street Grill.
Coming up at the club are Penguin Dilemma, Nick
Devlin & Brian Nahlen, Alan Helms, White Collar Criminals, Barrett
Baber, Tonya Leeks, Dean Agus, Michael Hambrick and Irv Sisk.
The club is open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner
(until midnight), is smoker friendly, sports a full bar, has Free Wifi,
has huge-screens for sports events, and has live music Thursday through
Saturday.
What's more, there's never a cover charge…
For bookings call Don at (501)224-2010…….
Out in Prestigious Western Little Rock, the annual
Cinco De Mayo bash at Grumpy's Too Cantina Was a giant success. 1st
Impressions performed (as they do for all of Grumpy's special
occassions), and the house was jammed all night.
Grumpy's has live music every
Monday through Saturday. Coming up are dates with Chris Henry, The
Shannon Boshears Band, Steele Jessup, Shannon M., Barrett & Colby,
Bipolar, Tim Meitzen, Notion and a bunch more.
For bookings call the club at (501)225-3768…….
West End checks in this issue with a typically
strong music line-up. On the bill are Southbound, Judge Parker, Monster
Party (formerly Rise Phoenix Rise), Crunch, Max Taylor & The Blue
Katz, Bushdog, Behind The Sun, Pail, Goodspeed and many more.
This is a fun place to party, with the live bands,
great food and all-around sports motif. Hey, there are even tvs in the
men's room so you don't miss a single lick of the action while you
empty yourself to make room for more of whatever it is you're drinking.
In addition, West End serves its entire menu until
1:30 a.m., so's you can get a late-night real meal (as opposed to
waffles)…
See our Sound pages for the listings and dates.
For bookings call the club at (501)224-7665…….
Across the river in North Little Rock, a favorite
party place is Counterpoint. This club is open 7 days a week, has live
bands on weekends and a live DJ every night spinning tunes.
There's pool, ping pong, arcade games, a large
wooden dance floor, a truly great sound system and a party atmosphere
that just doesn't stop.
KJ Debbi T. is now back at the club, and doing her
karaoke every Wednesday and Friday.
Coming up at the club are Pellet Gun, 3rd Degree,
Thread and Exit Strategy.
For bookings call Cheryl Drennan at (501)771-5515…….
Mr. BJ Latting, a long-time friend and avid NF
supporter passed away a few weeks back. BJ was the power-that-be behind
Arkansas Car Stereo, and was a darned good musician to boot. He died of
"natural causes", according to the obit in the daily newspaper.
Whatever…he was a close friend to many (including moi), and will be
sorely missed…….
In
Hot Springs….
By now you have probably heard the news: Maxine's
has changed hands. After 3 years at the helm, Jeremy Nelson has left
the building. Jeremy built the club into a bonafide music venue,
attracting bands from coast to coast to his 'alternative' nightclub,
and turning the former "puzzle bar" into a no-holds-barred small
concert room that featured live music on most nights.
Enter Kevin and Agnes Galecka, a couple of music
buffs who moved here from L.A. (the one in California…as opposed to
Lower Arkansas…)
The pair are serious music freaks from day one, both
veterans of the colorful and many faceted world of the West Coast, and
bring to the club (and Arkansas) a fresh outlook and approach to
entertaining. They assure me that the club will continue to feature
top-notch live music, carrying on the traditions Jeremy established…
We'll have a feature on the two in our next issue.
Suffice it to say that this club is in very capable hands…
Caught a fantastic show there the other night,
featuring the band Radio.Radio, a high energy alternative group from
Tulsa. This band is nothing short of exciting, with great musicianship
that delivers an excellent performance that is only rivaled by the
sheer personality of the players themselves.
I look forward to their return in the near future.
Set to appear at the club in the coming weeks are
Madison Street, Bryan Frazier & cinePLOSION, the SugarFree
Allstars, a return engagement of WSNB (which means We Sing Nasty Blues
- and they do, too), The Cordoroy, Blacklist Royals, Cas Haley with
Woodbelly, The Keith Horton Project, Ume, Underclaire, Benjamin Del
Shreve, River City Tanlines, Ty Segall, Charlie & the Moonbeats,
The Underground Division and much more.
For bookings, call (501)321-0909…….
Odie's has been going gang-busters since it opened,
and one visit to the club will prove my point.
The club features two stages, full bar service,
excellent food and all served up by a team of professional Tuxedo-clad
servers. There is live music every night they're open, from solo
pianist Chuck Dodson nightly, a blues jam on Thursday hosted by Mike
Dollins & The Cruize Brothers, to various regional and touring
musicians.
Set to appear in the coming month are The NTO Band,
Robin Rogers, the legendary Steady Rollin Bob Margolin, Bow Legged
Rooster, The Hump Night Band and many others.
In addition, Brian Sink hosts 'Oldies at Odie's'
every Wednesday, Mike Dollins & The Cruize Brothers hold down a
blues jam every Thursday, and Chuck Dodson tinkles the ivories on that
grand piano every night.
The menu is superb, by the way, with finely prepared
steaks, seafood, desserts, chops, salads, freshly flown in wild salmon,
lobster and Alaskan King Crab. (All the steaks are exclusively "Omaha"
Black Angus…by the way…if that tells you anything about the quality…)
There is, of course, a full bar featuring all your
favorite libations.
Prices are reasonable, and the service is excellent.
Odie's is open Tuesday through Sunday
And for bookings contact David Hughes at
(501)620-3596 or email him at dhughes@hotsprings.nct…….
Had a ball at The Big Chill the other night, but
then I always do. Indeed, The Chill is an exquisite music room, and
more like partying in your own living room (only with servers who wait
on you hand and foot - get THAT at home…)
Gary Hutchison and John Magness were tearing it up,
and had the entire room buzzing throughout the evening. These two are
quite fun, and don't hesitate to deliver off-the-wall jokes and
'commentary' by, for and about the audience. Both are exceptional
musicians across the board.
On the bill in the coming weeks are John Tally, Ben
& Gary, Tommy Thompson, The Pierson-Waters Project, Mike Tabor
& Chuck, Dayton Waters, Randy Magness, Big Juv, Trey Johnson, Gary
Hutdchison & John Magness, Dan Sanchez and many more. And of course
every Monday features Lightnin' Lee Langdon and David Ball for their
Dr. Chillworth's Monday Night Medicine Show, with various players
sitting in.
For bookings call Gina or David at (501)624-5185…….
Lucky's checks in this month with another fine
roster of talent. Look for the likes of Charlotte Taylor & Gypsy
Rain, The Joe Pitts Band, Crash Meadows, Alley Cats, Cosmic Biscuit and
Terri & The Executives.
Lucky's is open 7 days a week, has a full menu and
full bar (that serves late), and there's never a cover charge.
Located at 711 Central Avenue, the club is
immediately adjacent to Belle Arti and Porterhouse Steak House, and
they have another lounge upstairs for private parties.
For bookings call Mary Holt at (501)909-9430…….
The Long Shot Saloon is a dance club that is open 7
days a week until 5 a.m. Located immediately across Central from
Oaklawn Park, The Long Shot has a fantastic stereo set-up, a full bar,
very excellent food, and a crowd that is every bit as entertaining as a
good band.
This is a dance club, plain and simple, with a
thriving business. Fact is, on any given night it can be hard to get in
the place as it is wall-to-wall partiers.
After all, the Long Shot is open 7 days a week until
5 in the a.m. It is, technically speaking, a private club, and all you
got to do to join is just go there.
They even feature a free shuttle to help you avoid
any run-ins with the 'Peace Officers' that roam the streets of Hot
Springs (trying to "protect and serve" of course…)
To reach the Long Shot by phone, call
(501)622-0396…….
In other Hot Springs news, the warm weather has
brought great live music back to the lake clubs, with Docker's, Smyly's
and Doe's going strong.
As we go to press, the word is that The Island Club,
across from Smyly's, will be open by early July, and will feature live
bands, good food and all the fun you can have with sand between your
toes. Watch these pages for details…….
Bogart's, the club formerly known as Boogie's, is
another spot open until the wee-wee hours of 5 a.m.. Here you'll find
an enormous nightclub, with live bands, great food, and numerous bar
stations to wet your whistle.
Coming to the club in the next several weeks are
Area 51, Alizé, Jason Greenlaw & The Groove, House Arrest,
and Crash Meadows to name a few.
See our Sound listings for all the dates (but you
know that by now…)
For bookings contact John Dean at (501)623-5152…….
Speaking of Bogart's, I'm sorry to report that Mr.
Chris Crudup passed away recently. Chris was a great guy, and a friend
to virtually everyone he encountered. Chris suffered from some
infection that apparently invaded his heart.
There will be a huge benefit show in his honor on
Sunday, May 31, to both pay him last tributes and hopefully to raise
some capital for his family. On the bill will be many of Chris'
friends, including Area 51, Alizé, Ashley Blanton White, Dean
Agus, Mike Tabor, Down The Bottle, Mister Lucky, Chris Moshier, Kramer,
Aaron Garrett, Larry Porter, Chucky P, Denny G, Dave Aldridge and many
more. See page 26 of this issue for more details…
And check out the side-piece on this page, which was
written by Chris' life-long friend Terrell Williams…
This was a horrible tragedy, and our heart goes out
to his wife and family… He will be missed…
In
Fort Smith….
Spring is finally fully underway and as predicted,
Garrison Avenue is blossoming. The Avenue is becoming what may be the
largest, hottest club strip in The Altered State's history. Heady
words, I know, but take a stroll down that street some evening and see
if you don't agree.
I got to witness the grand opening of Bill
Neumeier's new Rib Room and Barbecue and what a gala event it was! The
club is the diamond of nightclubs in Arkansas, and one of the nicest
clubs anywhere…in this country and beyond.
A funny thing happened in the process of building
it, too. Neither Bill or any of his partners had ever been to Tipitinas
Uptown in New Orleans before they built the place. Indeed, they had all
travelled throughout the country, and spent time in many, many bars
(doing important research, you know…) In the process they dreamed up
what they thought would be a very cool nightclub, taking the best ideas
they found wherever and rolling them all into one…hence the general
plan for the bar took shape in their imaginations. They proceeded to
build what turns out to be practically a mirror image of the famed
Tipitina's. The only real difference, they say, is that Tipitina's has
a roof, where The Rib Room is open-air. The floor-plan, layout and
general motif of the club, complete with the bar offerings as well, are
all remarkably similar to the famed Crescent City club. They didn't
know this until one of them happened to go to New Orleans a few weeks
ago and decided to pay a visit to Tipitina's.
I guess great minds do tend to think alike…a happy
accident, as it were.
Neumeier's opened with a bang, and despite several
stormy weekend nights, has still managed to serve many thousands of
patrons in the few weeks that it's been open.
But floorplans are only one part of the equation of
success. Ultimately, the bands who have played there thus far have all
been amazed and utterly delighted.
The Klocks even commented that they have found a new
favorite venue, despite playing hundreds of nights a year in some of
the most successful clubs in the country.
Set to appear in the coming weeks are Fat Dixie,
Texas legend Bugs Henderson & The Shuffle Kings, guitar virtuoso
Monte Montgomery, The Oreo Blue Trio, Sultans of Schwing, CharlieHorse,
Micky & The Motorcars, JP Soars & The Red Hots, Cedric Burnside
& Lightnin' Malcolm, The KISS Army, Wild Oats, Fly-By Radio, The
Rain Kings, Time Machine, The Band Of Heathens, Macon Greyson, Grece
Potter & The Nocturnals, Cplus and many more.
And of course they are also serving their
mouthwatering barbecue, a fact that has made many people drive from
several states away just to pig out (and take a load on home,
too).
For bookings, contact Bill at (479)494-RIBS (7427)…….
I caught a great show at R. Landry's recently with
Brick Fields - aka, Rachel Fields and Larry Brick. I hadn't seen them
for some time, as they've been playing much on the West Coast.
This was a real treat as they are really like
family. Indeed, Rachel is the niece of our late-great writer, Burger,
who helped fill these pages for over ten years (he was Gypsy Woman,
Dear Flabby and many other characters in our pages…after he died we
just went back through the archives and started re-runnnng his
columns…especially Horrorscopes, which are an even bigger hit now than
they were years ago.)
Landry's is a very cool room, with excellent food,
drink and ambiance. I've said it many times: This is the closest you
can get to authentic New Orleans fare without going to the Crescent
City itself…and actually better than many places I've frequented in tat
city.
On the bill in the coming weeks are the likes of
Kory Montgomery, Smilin' Bob & Pam Camp, Blame Kelly, The Terri
Quiett Band, Truck Stop Poets, The Mark Albertson Duo, The Crumbs,
Grant Pierson, The Magpies, The Pearson Brothers, Tiffany Christopher,
RJ Mischo & His Red Hot Blues Band, Will Mendenhall, The Bannister
Brothers and many more.
Check out the Sound pages and make a point to stop
in for a drink, some tasty seafood, and a song or two. I'll warn you,
though: This place is habit-forming…
For bookings call (479)783-2505…….
I'm most proud to report that Old Town is once again
alive on the Avenue. Mike and Cindy from Hero's recently renovated the
room and kicked the doors open to the great excitement of the town's
party crowd, and the word is that it's going great guns.
There is live music on a regular basis, a great full
bar, and a decades-old vibe to the room that is at once inviting and
welcoming.
Set to appear in the next month are Greg Madden,
Rick Skinner, a fundraiser for the Summer Music Camp Scholarship that
will feature The Crumbs, The Band Keith, Smilin' Bob & Pam Camp,
Bushwhackers and much more. Also on the bill are Out Of Towners,
JT, George Hughen, Saudria Sayleen, Travis Nevels, Tabitha Graves, Matt
H. and more.
I caught the Pearson Brothers, Larry & Bruce,
for a couple sets the other night and thoroughly enjoyed myself.
For bookings call Mike at (479)782-1999…….
The Hangin' Judge Saloon checks in at this writing
with yet another stellar line-up.
Artists set to appear in the coming weeks include
Truck Stop Poets, Chain Of Reason, Part 1 Tribe, Kickstart, Anomaly,

doings on the Avenue.

list of musical medicine. Look for The Hosty Duo, Old Town Heros,

Camp, Bushwhackers, Standing for Something and 15 keys.
Hero's is open every day, sports a full bar, has
good bar food (and serves it until 1 a.m.), huge-screen sports action,
arcades and pool tables, and it, too, is a regular destination for the
club-running crowd.
For bookings call Mike Gonzales at (479)784-5055…….
Ava's Rib Shack - the only place in this column NOT
on the Avenue, checks in with Bluesmith, Wanda Watson, Marmits, Grey
Street, Blue Collar Band, The Wranglers, Willie Stradlin, Young
Grammarians, Mighty Moon Frogs and much more.
The large beer garden has been the site of a great
many excellent music shows through the years, and with Ava at the helm
we can expect more of the same.
For bookings here, or at any of Ava's other clubs,
call Ava at (479)650-5045. Tell her you saw it here…
With the warmer weather upon us, virtually all the
venues with outdoor facilities are getting in gear. Garrison Avenue
Pub, Ava's Rib Shack, Rooster's, La Huerta…all have live music
throughout the season, and you know what I think about partying outside
under the stars…it really is how God meant it to be…….
In NW Arkansas….
Northwest music fans are jazzed that the Wakarusa
Festival is just around the corner. The historic festival will be held
during the first week of June and will bring nearly 90 bands to these
mountains for four days of camping and rocking out. See the separate
feature on the event elsewhere in this issue, and make your plans now
to join the fun. It will be, for lack of a better term, a truly
historic music event the likes of which the Ozarks have never seen.

once again in full swing.

The Ben Miller Band, Nate Hancock & The Declaration, The Christmas

Emily Knight, Hardaway & The Commoners, Sarah Hughes, Boom Kinetic,
LaFuSo, Control Alt Delete, Where's Lawrence, Standing For Something,
Pretty Boy Convoy, Mountain Sprout, Big Smith…and there are literally
dozens more on the bill.
I caught a very exciting set with LaFuSo for a Happy
Hour recently, and was blown away. While I didn't exactly count them,
there were at least 10 or more musicians on that stage, and they
rocked. Period. Fronted by veteran Liz Lottmann and her husband
Juergen, the band performs a personal concoction of their namesake:
Latin, Funk and Soul. Sheesh, Liz..this band is a Northwest Arkansas
answer to Mad Dogs & Englishmen, but with better rhythm…
If you get the chance you should hear - no,
experience - this band. (George's was jam-packed all night long…)
For bookings call (479)527-6618…….

drive from anywhere in Northwest Arkansas.
