Hollow-ed Out: Hollows Record Release Show

Get ready for a big local hullaballoo when the Empty Bottle (1035 N. Western) hosts the Hollows record release show on Monday, Nov. 9.

You've gotta check out Hollows. Pumping out 11 songs in only 30 minutes, the band's self-titled debut is pure '60s girl-group pop. Add bite to the bounce, and you've got yourself a catchy lil' ray of garage-infused sunshine. The album's release is by local vinyl label Addenda Records, a cohort of the equally awesome Plustapes.

Opening the show is Bird Talk and DJ Emilie Fabulette. Headlining is the always fabulous Miss Alex White and her latest band, White Mystery, a dirty guitar-and-drums garage rock duo accompanied by White's brother, Francis.

All this boffo entertainment, and what's more, it's free. What, is it your birthday? The show kicks off at 9:30 p.m. Be there.

She's Money

By Kara Luger

When talking musical influences with Helen Money, it's easy to forget her instrument of choice: cello. She references Bob Mould's Beaster, with its wall of sound and intense, thought-obliterating guitar work. She speaks of The Who and all the crazy rock bands she was exposed to in the '80s. "The stuff I like sounds like life or death," she reasons. And this coming from a woman with a picture of Jimi Hendrix taped to her cello case like he's a saint.
