A-Dog Day coverage from Seven Days

Dan Bolles at Seven Days ran a great piece today on the upcoming festivities for The First Annual A-Dog Day. (Being a real journalist type, he also got a preview of the upcoming compilation album Friends for A-Dog Vol. 1.)

One passage in particular is important enough to reprint here:

"Eulogizing Andy in these pages doesn't feel quite right. For one thing, I don't think he'd want that. As his longtime girlfriend Josie Furchgott Sourdiffe told me recently over coffee, he didn't want a funeral. As heartbreaking as it was to see him lose his yearlong battle with leukemia last December, Andy didn't want us to mourn him. He wanted us to celebrate his life."

Remember: schedule is here. All of this is free and all of this is awesome. Come to the Queen City this weekend and make some history with us.

Agent Slacker: Really Damn Good

I caught these cats last night opening up for People Under the Stairs, who put on one hell of a party at Arts Riot. The chemistry between Humble and Tommy Alexander is a proven winner, but the real revelation is these Loupo beats -- a diverse and ambitious canvas, his style has grown more intricate and more refined. It was a great Full Moon Masquerade soundtrack, and it was over too soon.

In related news, the Daysies finalists were posted yesterday: congrats to A2VT, Bless the Child, The Aztext, Lynguistic Civilians, and naturally, VT Union, who have been putting in constant work and bringing majors acts through the 802 in 2014.
