Casino Night Benefit: the Road to Mopeli

When: Thur, December 1
Time: 6-9pm
Cost: DONATION
Details:
Join us for a Casino fundraiser to build a road to the school in Mopeli, Lesotho, Africa. This road will provide a dry and even surface for the kids to walk to school, the school to receive necessary supplies for the kids, PLUS, the school will then be a Clinic for health care to over 12,000 residents. Have fun playing BlackJack, Craps, texas hold ‘em or 21 at El rio. Any amount of money will buy you chips so you can play in any or all of the games. All proceeds benefit the “Road to Mopeli” in Lesotho, Africa.

About this Peace Corps Partnership Project:
The village of Tabola, in Leribe, Lesotho, would like to connect Mopeli Primary School to electricity and build a brick road from the main tarred road to the school. We are hoping to do these two things in order to help Tabola and ten other surrounding villages with a medical facility and educational improvements. The lines for electricity come right up to the edge of one of our buildings, so connecting to the school should not be difficult. When Mopeli was built, the piping for electrical wiring was included in each building, as were wall outlets. We have been offered help from three electrical engineers who are willing to donate their time for this installation. With electricity and a paved road, will come an enormous amount of benefits for all the villages
in this area:

• Light for the children while they are in school.
• Our ability to hold after-school classes for herds boys and servant girls who are presently unable to attend school.
• Our ability to hold after-school adult education classes.
• Our ability to offer H.I.V./Aid’s workshops for all who want to attend.
• Our ability to offer support groups for orphans, vulnerable children, those with H.I.V./Aid’s and those who are in some way affected y H.I.V./Aid’s.
• Our ability to extend the hours of our community library so that people of all ages can come during the evening.
• Our ability to make Mopeli a community center, a place where people from all the villages may come for meetings, gatherings, feasts and celebrations of all sorts.
• Physically handicapped people will be able to get to our school.
• We will purchase a photocopy machine that could be accessed by anyone in the community for a small fee.
• And last, but certainly NOT LEAST, our ability to offer an extension to the St Rose Health Clinic, located in Peka. They have offered to come at least one day a week to service our villages’ needs. (Please note that our eleven villages have NO medical services at the moment…no hospital, Dr.’s office…not even a nurse!)

The children of the village of Tabola

The road to Mopeli is horrendous. It is really more like a rocky cow path than a road. During the rainy season, the road fills with water and is virtually impassable for vehicles. The children have to either wade or hop rocks to get to school. A brick road would help all coming to visit our community center, especially the physically disabled.

I produced this album with the intention to create an atmosphere of thought and contemplation but also with the dynamic tension of rhythmic beats keeping the listener in check. In Metacog there is no sampling or pre-made loops. All material was carefully crafted and designed from scratch down to the smallest measure and orchestrated with only my vision and ability to compose. This Album was built on a combination of soft synths and hard synths and a variety of studio recorded tracks. [website: on latest album]

Lots ‘o and lots ‘o influential maestros come through in our arrangement heavy musick. We’re a band of porous substances that soak up what must inevitably be acknowledged as having been done before; we then invert/revert/divert/pervert said it into something that can temporarily push back the Postmodern Blues that maligns 21st Century Schizoid Man. A pastiche pistachio is the kind of nut we are.
Art rock, rockabilly, proto punk, Philly soul, Sunshine pop, power pop, neo-psych, baroque pop, retro rock, heartland rock, freak folk, country rock, jangle pop, American Trad Rock. I mean Growwler loves all that shit. The ability to make unaffected, feel-it-to-my-bones, truly indelible songs is something the group has the ability to do on a day to day basis. We believe in what we do because the first step to convincing is confidence. After that people will eat yer sounds up regardless (sadd fact of faults of human agency and perception). Yet hopefully ever so often the music matches the bark and creation of tangible musical urgency is smelted.[facebook]

Introducing The Memoirs: Seven summers ago, five friends went into The Hangar Studios in Sacramento CA to record what would later be referred to as the “Flower’s Fade Sessions”. Engineered by Frank Maranzino, the sessions took place over two days and were later completed at the studios of Maranzino and David Houston. From the beginning of the project, everyone involved contributed to arranging the music for the sessions. Inspired by vocal duos such as The Louvin Brothers, The Everly Brothers, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Gene Clark with The Godsin Brothers, and The Jayhawks, the music that was created highlighted the vocal harmonies of Natan Rodriguez and Jay Raker.[myspace]

At the core are the sparring male and female vocals of Jenn Courtney and songwriter Maurice Tani, framed with Steve Kallai’s sweet fiddle, Tani’s guitar work, Mike Anderson’s slappin’, clankin’, doghouse, bull-fiddle, acoustic bass, and the virtuous, ethical, thoroughly “drummy” drumming of drummer Christopher Fisher. The sound is sometimes breathy acoustic, sometimes searing electric, sometimes both.

The Legend of Kitty Rose

The Legend Of Kitty Rose
Website: http://www.kittyroselegend.com/
Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Legend-of-Kitty-Rose/163537743704895?sk=info
Kitty Rose was a well-known country western singer in the mid-1970′s in the waning days of Nashville, when glittered suits and cheesy arrangements ruled the day. It was uncool to be in country music back then, a genre reserved for red-necks, hicks and sodbusters. At a young age, Kitty appeared on the stage of the Ryman Auditorium, the “church of country music” along with her mentor and dearest friend, Sandy Saunders, then an up-and-coming star herself. They recorded a live album on April 1, 1972 before the Ryman closed its doors, some said then, for good. The following summer, Sandy died in a horrific car accident in the southwest desert. Kitty Rose refused to return to the stage without Sandy and her legend survived only in small circles of die-hard fans and classic country affectionados. Fast-forward to the present day and after the re-discovery of “Kitty Roses’ Greatest Hits!” and “Live at The Ryman”, Kitty Rose was found wandering the streets of a small Northern California town called Hopland, now a ghost of her former self, tending her horse ranch in the nearby hills. Legend has it that she actually is a ghost – dead and returned from hell – cursed forever for killing Sandy’s road manager who was drunk at the wheel that fateful night Sandy lost her head. Coaxed out of retirement, “The Legend of Kitty Rose” is the first recording of this some-time Nashville star since the early 1970′s. The voice is rough and the subject of her songs melancholy, some say after loosing her soul to the devil, but you’ll agree there still remain hints of her glorious past amongst the legends of country music. – The Kitty Rose Fan Club

The Patsychords are not just a Patsy Cline tribute band. We run the gamut from her greatest hits and obscure gems to other classic country songs. Margaret Belton’s love of Patsy began at a young age. She only receently decided to take her corn-fed hometown flavor to the stage. She hand-picked her players from notable local San Francisco bands. The Patsychords emulate the lonesome, velvet tones of Ms. Patsy while adding their own personal touch of sass and grit.. The Patsychords are vocalist Margaret Belton. She would make Patsy proud with her vocal stylings. Guitarist Sunny Haire, plays a distinctly rhythmic, yet melodic guitar. Chock full of reverby goodness. Sunny has been in many bands, most notably, The Bedlam Rovers, Waycross, Knife and Fork and Enorchestra. Roxane Chicoine is an upright bassist who brings a vintage rockabilly flavor. She slapped the doghouse bass in Mighty Slim Pickens and The Rev Tones. Jai Bird Carrell is an alt-country drummer hailing from Austin. She holds down the country and rock rhythms.
