The Kool Keith show scheduled for the Biltmore tonight has been canceled. Timbre says they're trying to reschedule, but there's not date yet, so ticket holders are advised to seek refunds at your point of purchase.
Also, this is a good time to point out that Fan Death are at the Astoria tonight. I missed that one earlier. Sorry.

in the morning
The DJ-night-with-band weeklies are always a bit weird, since the audience is sort of captive (I mean, you can go outside for a breather/smoke or move back, but you're probably not going to walk out completely), but there's a decent chance they didn't show up just to see the band perform. With that in mind, it's always interesting to see how many people who clearly didn't come for the live portion of the evening that a band can draw towards the stage and engage. And on Friday and Saturday, both bands did a pretty good job of that.
Regulars: January 11th-17th
