Keller Willams has once again assembled his WMDs for a series of east coast dates in November. While we enjoy Keller’s creative, albeit gimmicky solo work, we love seeing Keller lead a band. The WMDs are guitarist Gibb Droll [Marc Broussard], Keith Moseley on bass [SCI], and drummer Jeff Sipe [ARU, Trey Anastasio]. Keller and the WMDs kick off their tour on November 2nd in Baltimore.

Andrew Bird playing the Beacon!? Damn, good for him. He can fill a 3,000-person venue at this point? Good for him, though I think it may make more sense for him to play a couple shows at a venue half the size. I’m not the biggest fan of the Fillmore Whatever at Whatever Irving, but I’d bet he’d do well there for two nights. Or two at Webster Hall. In any event, good for him. I’ll go to that if I can do Ween the next night at Terminal 5.
You just said “good for him” three times in less than 100 words. Take a bow, son.
While I think it’s funny to see a ranking for the Top Ten Best Live Aid Performances (I mean, that’s a little too micro for my tastes), the video they chose for #1 is truly awesome. Queen really kicks serious fuckin’ ass. Love Radio Gaga.

I may wear Freddie’s outfit for Halloween. Gorgeous.
It will be interesting to see how many tickets Bird can sell at the Beacon
