I Don’t Know Jack About Music

Remember that early ’90s computer game “You Don’t Know Jack About Sports!” where you had to answer trivia or the game yelled at you? And then it spiraled into other “You Don’t Know Jack About ____” bananas, coffee, snowballs. Whatever. I don’t claim to be a music critic, or even afficionado (except when it comes to country–yeehaw!). BUT I do love this little band called Achachay! that’s playing Friday night at 7pm at Momo’s.

Achachay!’s music is pretty sweet: funk rock, they say, with a wildly energetic frontman (who may or may not be related to me) and quietly cool sunglasses-clad drummer. But I enjoy their communicados, via blog and email, almost as much (more?) than their music. Check out achachay.com for their silly, crazy, smart, sassy information.

See you at Momo’s at 7 on Friday!

Speaking of good communicators, I got an email from a band I’ve never heard of that sounds equally zany and fun. It went something like this:

If you do decide to post any of this … we’ll send you a herd of puppies.

We are playing a house show on Sat. Oct 17 with Woodgrain, Butcher and the Bear and FM Campers. Anyone who goes can pick up a free demo with a handmade case, (each one is different!) or we’ll have a bucket of art supplies and you can make your own. Come hang out if you get a chance, we’ll make you a custom cd, maybe share toothpaste, exchange platonic backrubs and perhaps play an exciting game of bingo.
Here’s the flyer:

I may not know Jack about music, but I like creative, fun people and can only assume people with that much creativity can make some sweet music too.
