El_Jazzera2.jpg

每週四,小客廳的小週末爵士夜將與您見面.
Every Thursday, El Jazzera brings you the coolest jazz from the jihad.

El Jazzera 是由一群熱愛爵士樂的爵士好手精英所組成,有著各類爵士樂影響的背景與喜好,每位樂手都有一本愛唸的爵士經.小週末好好放鬆一下, 邀請您來小客廳坐坐.
El Jazzera is heavily funded in part by the Emir of Qatar and other Arab jazz moderates who recognized that the long-term interests of Islamic jazz would be served best by bebop rather than addala ya addala. Secretary of the Jazz State Colin Powell has denounced El Jazzera for playing "vitriolic, irresponsible kinds of jazzy statements."

MSNBC says El Jazzera sounds like they are "attempting to reflect all sides of jazz while retaining the values, beliefs and sentiments of the target audience."

Fri 6/11:詭異蘇珊搖滾樂團 Creepy Susan

creepysusanlogo.jpg

詭異蘇珊搖滾樂團是一個新進崛起的樂團, 由3位男子1位女子組成.他們在今年四月的春天吶喊音樂季中,剛剛狂吼狂喊過,現在將於本週五在小客廳繼續搖滾吶喊!
因為有幾位團員是雙子座怪卡,而且當晚還會有一群雙子座音樂人會加入狂吼,所以如果你也是雙子座國的子民,出示你的證件,吧檯會給你好康的喔!!

Creepy Susan is a rock-based post-punk pop influenced band that formed a month before Spring Scream this year and went on to play Friday night on the main weekend. Since then they have been rocking crowds of rambunctious drunks in Taipei at various dives and open stages. After playing under such catchy names as Creepy Susan and My Pet Gibbon, Pet My Creepy Susan, and PMS, they have settled with the name Creepy Susan. Lead singer Alita Rickards is quoted as saying "Creepy Susan is the voice in your head that says 'fill the laundry soap bottle with bleach if your roommates won't stop using it all and never buying more'".

Alita (voc), Les (guitar), Jeff (bass), and Tim (drums). They've played a weekend at Spring Scream, and are ready to rock the Living Room.

Half the band are Geminis with birthdays coming up, and we expect a few other Gemini musicians to drop by to join the party. If you are a Gemini, maybe you'll get something special from the bar.
