My band, Milton and the Devils Party (it's an egg-headed literary reference--call us MDP if you like) is doing an R.E.M. set this Saturday night (May 12) at the North Star in Philadelphia. As my clever subject line suggests, we'll be doing songs from their I.R.S. catalog. If you live close to Philly and have the time, energy, and inclination, come out and celebrate the work of a great band with us. If you do, you'll also get to see my newly acquired 1988 360JG.
We've worked really hard preparing for this special gig, and we'll be good. I promise!
Not so long ago, the Baseball Project played the same venue, with Mike Mills standing in for Peter Buck. Here's a clip for you to enjoy and get the vibe of the place.
