Sure, it's fun to sit at home on election night and watch the results come in. I mean, think of all the great moments: Russert with the whiteboard, Florida "erroneously" being called for Gore, and, uh, other things that happened in years other than 2000.
But what if you could watch these things - and listen to live music at the same time? Oh yes, it's possible. Here are some election night music events going down tomorrow.
I'll use any excuse to post Jay Buchanan videos, or those of just about every artist playing this shit-hot show Saturday at OC's venerable Gypsy Lounge. It's an acoustic-Christmas-type toy drive gig benefiting the Joyful Child Foundation, featuring (deep breath) . . .Jameson, Jay Buchanan, the Pawn Shop Kings, Chris Paul Overall, AJ Degrasse, Sara Overall, Mike Vitale, Cory Joseph, Molly Jenson, Brett Bixby, Deccatree's Chris Karn, Jadon Lavik, Joe Denges, Skee, Jonathan Blake, and Paul Schulte
For some unknown reason, the abbreviation for "Summer and Music" is officially "SAM," not "S&M." How odd!Anyway, the latest installment of the Long Beach summer music series is the Busker Fest in the East Village Arts District on Friday, August 21. It's pretty much as it sounds: bands take to the sidewalk and play busker-style, with 25-minute sets aimed to collect "wooden nickels." The list of street performers is pretty impressive for, well, street performances: Free Moral
