Pick of the Day 4/12/08

I'm running short on time today, so I'm not going to be able to post the video or concert poster until later in the day. Here are the picks:

13 Ghosts / Kate Taylor @ Bottletree

Admission: $8
Zero Hour: 9 p.m.



13 Ghosts just released their creepy new album The Strangest Colored Lights to critical acclaim, and local label Skybucket Records is celebrating it with a kick-off party here in their hometown. Always a good time live, I’m sure the fellas are gonna kick it up a level for the special occasion.

Kate Taylor is a label mate of 13 Ghosts, so it’s not surprising that she gets the nod. She plays pleasant and heartfelt acoustic numbers which should be a nice warm-up before 13 Ghosts takes the mood down a notch. I should point out that today’s honorable mention is Art Garfunkel, but he doesn’t get the full treatment because I believe in supporting the locals when they’re as good as these guys are. Do what you will.

Honorable Mention: Art Garfunkel @ Alys Stephens Center
