This time around, C-Notes lets a band — in this case, the beatmaking, soundscape-ish maestros of Presque Vu — speak for themselves to explain why you should pencil their show in for your big holiday weekend. Because we’re busy at home re-watching Sportscenter to see what everyone has to say about that freaky field goal. — D.X. Ferris Band: Presque Vu Web: MySpace.com/ThePresqueVu Hometown: Cleveland, Ohio / Kent, Ohio
Sounds like: “Dudes who make beats coming together to make even better ones.
Recommend for fans of: “DJ Shadow, Afrika Bambaataa, Alias, Boards Of Canada, and Genesis.”
Fun fact: “Presque Vu is the production team behind Johnny La Rock & Mush Mouth. They’re currently working on random projects, including making theme music for the local NPR affiliate, 90.3 WCPN.”
Playing: 9 p.m. Friday, November 23, at Bela Dubby (ADDY) 9 p.m., all ages, donations at door accepted. “We’re opening for our good buddy, Electric Grandmother – it’s his CD release party!”
Why you need to see them: ” Because it’s our first show, and we’ll probably mess up a lot – which is always entertaining.” — Johnny La Rock – Producer/DJ
