10th Annual Old Home Night with St. Jayne/Home & Garden/Kidney Brothers/Val Seeley/Nicholos Deveney
When: Sat., Dec. 22, 8 p.m. 2012
A local art rock group that features ex-Pere Ubu members Scott Krauss and Tony Maimone, Home and Garden played the Beachland at Christmas time for the past ten years. This year, the group will be selling copies of “Flim Flam,” a song that Krauss and the late Jim Jones originally wrote for Ubu (though the guys never actually submitted it to the band). The New Wave- and prog-inspired song features a series of off-kilter blips and beeps and noisy, Robert Fripp-like guitar theatrics that come courtesy of Jones. The band will have 7-inch vinyl copies of the single — which was pressed locally at Gotta Groove Records — for sale at the show. (Jeff Niesel)
