Outlaw-country outfit the Empty Bottles played a set with some friends Friday (Dec. 20) at Norman, Okla.'s Opolis. We stopped in to snap a few pictures.

No Age and New Fumes || Norman, OK

Finally an all ages indie show in Norman! Tomorrow night No Age plays with New Fumes, otherwise known as Daniel Huffman and the other half of my project Birdflower. Since the Opolis closed it's doors to those under 21 early this year, Norman has been fairly void of all ages touring indie shows. I am so happy to see The Norman Arts Council utilizing MAIN SITE's awesome bare space.

The show is 8 pm Wednesday, September 18 at Main Site Contemporary Art in Norman, Oklahoma. Cost $10 in advance / $12 the day of show.

If you have never seen New Fumes's play live you are in for one hell of a treat. He is the genius behind all of the Flaming Lips weirdo colored vinyls, played with the Flaming Lips during their recent Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robot performance at SXSW, used to perform with The Polyphonic Spree, and is all around one of the most beautiful people I know inside and out.

I have spent a lot of time with Daniel this past year, but the first time I was able to see him perform was at The Opolis a few months ago. The venue was very small and intimate, but I didn't feel I was fully able to experience all that was New Fumes in that particular venue at the time. I then saw Daniel open up for My Bloody Valentine at the Verizon Theater in Grand Prairie Texas. What an experience! The music mixed so well with his towering projections. I couldn't believe how grand and beautiful what I was seeing and feeling really was. Needless to say, I was completely blown away and couldn't believe I had been working with such a talent.

If you have the chance to go to tomorrow's show, do it. You will have one of the most genuine music experiences you have felt in a while.

Girl Talk @ Opolis

So I've known about a "secret show" at the Opolis for 2 weeks. And I finally found out yesterday morning that that "secret show" was Girl Talk! Luckily I have the hook up and was able to get in without stand in a crazy line, as well as hook up a few friends. The Opolis is the smallest venue Gregg has played in 5 years. The place was truly bonkers. Here's some photos from the show, courtesy of Axe.
