The neverending story

Still on his "Neverending Tour," Damo Suzuki returned to the Avant-Garde for a trio of sets. He put on an amazing show last time he was in town. It wasn't quite as electrifying this time around, if mostly because one knew something of what to expect, but still very good. He had a pair of jazzy outfits (Radar and the Ed Rowland Trio) and River City Junction in the house. The Unireverse was also supposed to back him (as they did last time) but I didn't see them about, so unless they performed before I got there at 10 p.m. or so it wasn't so.



River City Junction also closed things off with a few songs. More on that and more Damo later.

• Show reminder: Farler's Fury, Bad News Bears, Preachers from the Black Lagoon, The Intruders, Gunsmoke and The Possums perform at Cafe Dekcuf; Amos the Transparent, Jetplanes of Abraham and Kamikaze Baby play Barrymore's; Kill Cheerleader and Money Money rock Mavericks; Token reunites and teams up with The Sweet Janes to perform at Royal Oak, a venue which obviously doesn't know what it's in for; The Grass and Ball and Chain play at the Black Sheep Inn. And me? I'm working replate to 1:30 a.m. Phooey.
