Joy Tojours and the Toys Du Jour
Carnegie Museum of Art Sculpture Garden

This show began an exciting collaboration between two of the Carnegie Museums in Pittsburgh. The Warhol and Museum of Art teamed up to bring 'indie' music to a new performance space that turned out to be just exactly perfect. I couldn't find one negative aspect about seeing a show in the Sculpture Garden. It was roomy, relaxed, and most importantly, sounded great. Plans are to continue these shows next summer which I am definitely all for. Joy and the gals had the unique distinction to kick things off. More photos here.

 Not everyday you see a guy with purple hair playing a tiny violin with a electric drill. Add some bubbles and a mess of scrungy dreads and you think this was 'Shakedown Street' at a Dead show in '93? In a word-AWESOME! I really dug the lo-fi vibe this group gave out and hopefully will be catching them play sometime this summer. Listen to the set here.
