Jad Fair, On Being an Angel, Bradfish, Quiche (DJ set)
The convergence of alternative elder statesmen, up-and-coming slowcore, and Sublime covers could only be the variety-packing work of offbeat series Swass Night. Half Japanese half Jad Fair – marking a notable visitor to the increasingly busy little stage at Red River’s new Chess Club – totes last year’s first-time U.S. reissue of Kramer collab A History of Crying. Last month, On Being an Angel vocalist Paige Applin joined the Lemonheads onstage in L.A. for “Bit Part” after befriending Evan Dando during the Nineties act’s SXSW visit. Tuesday, Applin plays acoustic after Bradfish, aka Carlton Bostock of Lo Country’s take on Sublime – Quiche DJs.Tue., May 31, 10pm -
