FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8: BRAD POSTLETHWAITE!!!

Member of Snowglobe and Co-Founder of Makeshift Records, Brad Postlethwaite performs at Otherlands, Friday, September 8.

Snowglobe "Oxytocin" is Brad Postlethwaite's current release on Makeshift. An entrancing blend of cosmic American music that owes as much to pioneering psychedelic country/pop legends like the Byrds and Gram Parsons as it does to modern-day fellow travelers like the Flaming Lips. It is available at many indie record stores as well as from http://www.makeshiftmusic.com/releases.htm

Two cuts from the record can be heard on the snowglobe myspace page ("happy" and "dry"). It is the first of a series of "snowglobe solo records", each of which will be composed by a different band member. "Oxytocin" was composed and produced by Brad Postlethwaite, but performed by Snowglobe and other talented artists. The next record in the series, "The Black Squirrels", is currently planned for release in the Fall.

Live accoustic performance. All Ages. Doors 7 pm. Coffee, beer, food. Smoke free. $5 cover. Large patio. EARLY SHOW.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9: HARLAN T BOBO!!!!

We are pleased and proud to host Harlan T. Bobo at Otherlands, Saturday, Sept. 9. Harlan will be performing with string section and his special guest is Shawn Crips.

Backed by members of the Reigning Sound, F*ck and Viva l'American Deathray Music, and recorded at Easley McCain Studio, Harlan's record has already been hailed as the best Memphis record of the last five years by the Memphis Flyer. And rightfully so- it's a purely, perfectly American album, wide open and alone with touches of melancholy, paranoia, loneliness, depspair and simple hope coloring every little moment. Love will do that to you.

"Too Much Love" garnered the highest rated song of the week on NPR's "All Songs Considered"
