"Drizzle getting you down? Fed up with puddles? Try live music, it's sure to put the pep back in your step this rainy December. Local, national, and international heat this week includes two "Christmas concerts," jungle acid trumpet from Tokyo by-way-of NYC, an actual Christmas concert celebrating John Prine, some real deal Texas shoegaze, and the unbelievably chill hip-hop of Earl Sweatshirt."
"Never ones to be upstaged (their last show featured a glowy, articulated octopus roaming the crowd), event organizers Bog Monster fill Holocene with another edition of Pop + Puppetry on December 10. The concert series is, at least partially, exactly what it sounds like-a showcase of local bands and puppeteers. But it's also more than that, and by "more than that" I mean you'll see three wildly original puppet shows synced to the lineup's music."
Live music can lift dreary December moods with a varied slate of local, national, and international performances. The week features two Christmas concerts, a tribute to John Prine's 1994 holiday album with songs like "Silent Night All Day Long" and "Christmas in Prison," jungle acid trumpet from Tokyo via New York City, Texas shoegaze, and the relaxed hip-hop of Earl Sweatshirt. Pop + Puppetry on December 10 at Holocene combines puppet-making artistry with three original puppet shows synchronized to live bands including New Here, Creature Party, and Dreckig. A large gift guide recommends subscriptions and unconventional donation gifts.
