Thursday July 13, Curtis Eller + Dethlab, at The Lager House.
"New York City's angriest yodelling banjo player" Curtis Eller brings his tales of pigeon racing, Coney Island, performing elephants, Buster Keaton and snake handling back to Detroit's Lager House next Thursday.
Additionally, Dethlab will be curating records in support with what may be perceived by some as a most unusual set. Putting aside the dancefloor rockers in favor of intricate, often melancholy selections from the likes of Cave, Waits, Costello, Casiotone For The Painfully Alone, Circlesquare and Joy Division, we will be exploring the exact same dark corners of contemporary culture, only without the constraints of the dance club setting.

A few choice lyrics from Curtis' new album, Taking Up Serpents Again:
Hide that Scar
Johnny's down in the basement cutting off that angel's wings
Rusty scissors and wood glue...he's tying 'em on with wire and string
And you know you're never gonna hide that scar
Well you know you're never gonna hide that scar
There's dried blood on the concrete and feathers caught in the drain
By the time they figure out what happened it's gonna be too late
And you know you're never gonna hide that scar
Well you know you're never gonna hide that scar
Curtis was amazing last time we had the pleasure if seeing him at the Lager House, it'll be even more of a pleasure this time to play some records we don't normally get to when we're out. :)
