  • This keyboard has howled for the last time

After 20 years, this Saturday Jan. 15 marks lights out for Howl at the Moon Saloon. The Flats stalwart in the Powerhouse is being shuttered to make way for the long-discussed aquarium — a project that finally seems to be moving forward.

The final evening will feature six hours of Howl's popular Rock 'n' Roll Dualing Pianos. "We wanted to go out the same way we started," says promoter Don Mitri. "These talented Howl musicians play nonstop in rotation so there is absolutely no downtime. They also have a huge storehouse of songs in their heads so they can play pretty much any song that you can think of."

Doors open at 7 and the 21-and-over show starts at 8. Cover is five bucks.

Before Dethlok rocks Cleveland, Metalocalypse creator Brendon Small yaps with C-Notes

Posted by on Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 7:33 AM

Dethlok plays House of Blues (308 Euclid Ave.) tonight, with Soilent Green and hometown metal heroes Chimaira. The group started as a joke and became the biggest death metal band in the history of the Billboard album chart. With a simple but esoteric premise, Cartoon Network’s Metalocalypse seemed guaranteed to create a cult hit with a rabid fanbase of hundreds: What if the world’s biggest band -- Dethlok -- was an extreme metal group, who live a reality of guts and gore that the genre’s musicians (usually) only sing about. And what if they had fanatical legions who lived -- and died -- for the group? ...

Earthquake, Johnny Sanchez leads the week’s big comedy shows

Posted by on Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 9:24 AM

Unless you recognize a comedian’s name as That Girl From that Movie or the Dude from That One HBO Special, it can be hard to tell whether a stand-up is worth seeing. Lucky you: C-Notes did the legwork, and the skinny on this week’s big comedy shows, video included, is just a click away. -- D.X. Ferris

Bachelorette's Jesse Csincsak has the strange idea that Colorado mountains are sexier than Lorain County

Posted by on Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 2:48 PM

jesse.jpg The babes at Ziggy’s bar, in Amherst, were glued to the TV last night as they cheered native son Jesse Csincsak into the final four on The Bachelorette. Sadly, the 2001 Marion L. Steele High School grad didn’t return the favor. To catch you up, 25 bachelors from around the country have been trying to impress a 26-year-old Georgia peach named Deanna Pappas in the show’s fourth season. But at the end of each episode, the brown-eyed, brown-haired real-estate agent has been giving the boot to some of the dudes, whittling the field down to four finalists, including the 26-year-old Csincsak. ...

DJ Tiesto, Tuesday at Metropolis.
Every Monday, Scene calendar editor Cris Glaser provides a random but reliable sampling of things to do in the week ahead. For more options, log onto entertainment.clevescene.com. And check back Friday for C-Notes' Picks of the Week. Monday: The last time Detroit’s High Strung rock trio tooled into Northeast Ohio, it dropped off a 1988 Chevy at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the keys in the ignition and a note that essentially read, “It’s taken us to 500 shows across America. Now it’s yours.” The threesome is now back on its third annual National Rock & Roll Library Tour with two 7 p.m. concerts at the Rocky River Public Library, 1600 Hampton Road in Rocky River and the Avon Lake Public Library, 32649 Electrric Boulevard in Avon Lake. Admission is free. Call 440-333-7610 or 440-933-8128 for details. Tuesday: As he prepares to launch his Coca-Cola-sponsored theme song, “Global Harmony,” at the Beijing Olympics in August, Dutch DJ Tiësto makes a pit stop in the Flats tonight to promote his latest CD, In Search of Sunrise 7-Asia. The disc is a follow-up to his Grammy-nominated album, Elements of Llife, for the best electronic music of 2007. Tiësto spins at 10 tonight at Metropolis, 2325 Elm Street on the West Bank of the Flats. A $15 ticket gets you in the door by calling 216-241-1444. Wednesday: In a rare Cleveland appearance, best-selling author Jackie Collins autographs copies of her latest novel, Married Lovers, for fans at 7 tonight at the Cleveland Play House. The sizzler tells the story of an Australia fitness trainer, who moves to L.A. and carries on a torrid affair with one of Hollywood’s major power players in the entertainment business. The Play House is located at 8500 Euclid Avenue. For more information, call 216-795-7000. Thursday: Cain Park puts an urban spin on L. Frank Baum’s classic, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, with tonight’s opening of a three-week run of The Wiz. Tag along with Dorothy, Toto, and the gang as they ease on down the road to a score of rock, R&B, and gospel tunes. Showtime is at 8 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays through Sunday, July 6, at Cain Park, 14591 Superior Road in Cleveland Heights. Tickets are $10 by calling 216-371-3000.
