saturday night at the nc art museum: les primitifs du futur
this summary of their music was written by dave, who hosts WXDU's bull city cosmic hoedown:
"This band plays in France with famed underground cartoonist Robert Crumb (Mr. Natural, Fritz the Cat, etc). Crumb will not be playing with the band on tour, but that matters little: Les Primitifs du Futur play a fun mix of Frenchy and American roots music: bottleneck blues, Django Rhinehard/Stephane Grappelli style swing tunes, French Musettes (accordian dance tunes), oldtime string band tunes, etc. Some of the tunes are traditional, some are original songs telling bizzare stories. In short, they're some warped individuals and play some off-the-wall acoustic music. Les Primitifs du Futur are only playing a few gigs in the USA, so you'll definitely want to take advantage of this opportunity right in our own backyard."
i will be giving away a pair of tickets to this show tonight on divaville, so tune in to WXDU tonight between 6-8pm for a chance to win.

Has anyone been to a movie/music combo there? Do you watch the movie from the ampitheatre style seats or do you stake out a place in the grass and the concrete?

Thanks for putting up the Crumb covers!
