The Southern is definitely the hardest working music venue Charlottesville has seen in some time, and they are continuing this trend by bringing you Blind Pilot & The Low Anthem this evening. BP is an intriguing indie pop group responsible for the recent full length album ‘3 Rounds and a Sound’, a critically acclaimed album, reviewed as “sincere and captivating, with vocal control and style to spare”, also “deep, clever guitar-driven tunes fleshed out with soaring horn arrangements”. Opening for the likes of Gomez, Counting Crows, and The Decemberists, THIS is a band we will all be hearing much more from in the near future. @ 8:00PM – $12 [Info] [Samples] [Photo Credits]

Shoot, wish I could make the show
The Low Anthem’s latest album /Oh My God, Charlie Darwin/ is PHENOMENAL. Excellent. Here’s the review from Paste Magazine:

It was one of my favorite albums of the summer. PLEASE go to this show if you have the chance to.
Is the Southern where Gravity used to be? And if so, is the big rude guy still there?
/and do they know about the body?
Yes, unsure, whaaaaaat?
I’ve said too much – I’d watch for ghosts in that joint though. Seriously.
I know several people who worked at Gravity. Yes, watch out for ghosts.
what’s the deal with the spooks?
email me at boozyfloozy999@gmail and I’ll tell you all……
could you cc me on that? big Ghost Hunters fan.
me too. c’mon, floozy, post it for everyone!
Just email her, she’ll tell you. It really doesn’t belong on a public board.
Really.
Trust.
Wow that was an interesting experiement…I’m making lots of new friends.Weird.New.Friends.
Maybe I should have tossed my anonymous email out there with the deets. I could stand to meet some weird new people.
If any on the mails are lawguy54 (at) charlottesville (dot) gov or the like, though, I’d hesitate replying…
where’s my ghost story, floozy? i emailed.
Well I had an email politely advising me to STFU so I decided to do just that. I don’t want no concrete boots.
but it’s the latest style. saw so myself at Urban Outfitters.
I thought you were the big rude guy?
Not that big ever, not that big anymore. And Im not rude, Im misunderstood.
And look at that fucking porch in that picture, all smooth and shiny, no holes. Damnit
Threadjack, what? Oh ok. Um… I think I would like a “soaring horn arrangement”. There.
It’s an elitist porch. Your’s is a grassroots or man-of-the-people porch. In fact if you won $50m in the lottery you would have to announce that, “the money isn’t going to change my life at all. In fact I’m not even going to repair my utterly fucked porch”. That way you keeps the cred.
I think I know the big dude you speak of. Does he have a case of OCD? I made the mistake of sitting in a chair pre-concert and schooching just the slightest bit into the “aisle” and big dude comes over, “Can you please move in? It’s gonna be a packed house tonight!” It was probably an hour and a half before showtime.
Alls I know is he was *really* big, ovate in fact, and *really* rude to me not once but the first three times I went there. Who needs that? He ran that place like it was his own little clubhouse, and he was the leader of the pack, which is fine, but made people like me think “Yaknow, Jesus could be singing Jimi Hendrix covers backed by a troop of midgets with accordions that shoot flames, and I aint given him another buck.”
Which explains my inquiry about the management…
bearded guy?
Dont recall, but I think so.
So is it new management or what? Do they have a special parking place for my fixie and hooks for my ironic vinyl jacket? I have needs, you know.
it’s new management, as for the rest i have no idea.
New management – the big guy is gone.
I was shooed out of the aisle once or twice – the place did get way too packed way too often and the aisles did seem to disappear rather quickly, but yeah.
I don’t really get the formality of the aisles issues. It ain’t The Paramount. Hello, that space looks like Grandma’s basement with King Arthur puppet show scenery behind the stage.
If it’s reeeaally an issue, why don’t they install handrails to corral people in?
