mission freak!

It’s 4:30, which means that the better part of 4 hours and 30 minutes–that’s a mighty long time–the red alarm has been going off in Mission Freak Central letting me know that shit is late.  This alarm (which actually isn’t an alarm in the physical sense, but a telepathic connection that we can use to harrass each other) makes me really twitchy.  This in turn makes it difficult to type, and since, as we already know, shit is late and you got things to do, means we need to cut straight to the sausage race.

Thursday: Ill Ease, Liberty Leg, Glaciers of Ice :: Hall Mall / 9pm / $5
ILL EASE
http://www.myspace.com/illease
One-woman-band from Brooklyn, opened for Battles here last year. Plays all instruments, incites parties.

LIBERTY LEG
http://www.myspace.com/libertyleg
Spatoon spitting alt blues rock.

GLACIERS OF ICE
Warped hip hop from David Morris.

Note: David Morris is a good friend of the Creek. I’m currently borrowing a keyboard and turntable of his, though not one of the two turntables he’ll be playing tonight. He came with us to SXSW.  Nevertheless, because shit is late, I stole the info on those other bands straight outta the Facebook invite.  Suckas.

Friday: Kelly Pardekooper w/ She Swings, She Sways :: The Mill / 9pm / $6
Kelly Pardekooper played an absolutely amazing set at The Picador as part of the Mission Creek Fest, confirming his status as a local legend on and off the stage.  His music is great, he’s a nice guy, and from at least one story I heard, he knows how to drink one or two beers as well.  While chatting after the show, and with no disrespect to his past players, he told me that the band he’s playing with for this show is one of–if not the–best he’s ever assembled.  He told me to be there, and now kids, I pass that message on to you.

Saturday: Mac Lethal w/ Grieves, Dj Sku :: The Picador / 9pm / $8
Kansas City hip-hop on the Rhymsayers tip.  You know you want to taste it.
