The Odeon Bar presents: Jason Webley and the monsters of accordian
Tue, Sep 27
9:00
$7
The Odeon might be gone, but if Phoenix is working the door, Ena is
tending bar, Neives is organizing everything and Chicken John is
losing money on it, it's still the Odeon to us. Join us at the
Odeon's home away from home: Ace Junkyard. Come see Bill the friendly
Junkman stand behind his counter like a caged animal. Marvel at #3,
half man, half dirt. The junkyard shows are totally fun and totally
unlikely. You never know when the last one is gonna be. Please wear
intelligent footwear. Tongint the Odeon is offering a show we have
hosted the past 3 years. This year, we are still available for the
Monsters of Accordian... we just had to improvise a bit. I can't
recommend Jason enough as a performer. He is the best thing that ever
came out of the Odeon. You come see for yourself. I'll double your
money back. He's awesome. Daniel Ari doesn't suck either. Aaron in
amusing. Here;s the write up:
Seattle's Jason Webley is a consummate performer. He appears like a
back alley prophet in layers of baggy clothes, a trench coat and an
old porkpie hat; he leaps onto stages, window ledges and bartops,
feverishly pumping the bellows of his accordion and stomping out the
beat while roaring and whispering in his passionate, gravelly
baritone. His music - a mix of gypsy, folk and punk - traverses age
and social background, drawing grandparents, children, punks, drunks,
and lovers into the fold. He likes to sing about death, carousing,
and vegetables. He recently released a much-awaited new album, Only
Just Beginning, and is fresh off the stalks of his Tomato Tour.

Daniel Ari, Poet of the Oompacalypse, welcomes you to his quirky,
warm, and human world of left-field accordion anthems and articulate
social observations. He is the author of the 21st Century's answer to
"Freebird," the anthemic accordion ballad, "Misty-Eyed Lady," as well
as the serio-comic punk-rock political rant, "Grammarians R Pissed!.
Duckmandu (aka Aaron Seeman), accordionist, pianist, and old school
punk, does an impressive Jello Biafra imitation, which he will treat
you to tonight, as well as familiar songs of other genres that have
never occurred to you to be performed on accordion.
Also on tonights lineup is Cyclecides bike rides. The dizzy toy and
the ferris wheel (all pedal powered) will be in effect and ready to
ride. Throw in a flame thrower or 2 and you've got a smashing event.
Hell, we might even crush a few cars.....
see ya there....
