I loved a couple of the band&#8217;s early albums.<\/p>\n<p>From today&#8217;s press release:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Legendary English rockers Modern English will play a one night only concert in Savannah on Wednesday, August 28th at Dollhouse Productions event space at 980 Industry Drive. One of the defining post-punk\/new wave bands of the 1980\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s, the band will tour the U.S. behind the release of a new album, the first to be recorded with the original members of the group in 25 years. In addition to newer material, their hit songs \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I Melt With You\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hands Across the Sea\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ink and Paper\u00e2\u20ac\u009d remain some of the most recognizable and beloved tracks of the last 40 years.<\/p>\n<p>An 80\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s themed dance party will follow the 10pm show. Tickets are $15 in advance and $18 the day of the show, space permitting.

The Captured Tracks recording artist will give a rare, stripped down performance at 9pm.<\/p>\n<p>Widowspeak is comprised of Molly Hamilton and Robert Earl Thomas, renowned for their dreamy, western-tinged take on rock and roll. Their atmospheric, hazy sound has drawn comparisons to 90\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s standout Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star. Widowspeak\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s second album, Almanac, released in January of 2013, was recorded by Kevin McMahon (Swans, Real Estate) in a hundred year old barn in the Hudson River Valley of New York State during the transition from summer to fall. The album has received critical praise from NPR, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Spin and many others.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ponderosa and Yip Deceiver will play a show on July 12th at The Jinx:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Ponderosa and Yip Deceiver (featuring members of Of Montreal) will perform on Friday, July 12th at The Jinx.

Local band Hallucinex will open.<\/p>\n<p>Atlanta based Ponderosa has gained both critical success and momentum behind the release of their 2nd album Pool Party last summer. Stomp and Stammer magazine praised the band for \u00e2\u20ac\u0153soaring, interstellar harmonies, booming drums, spatial textures, offbeat tangents and reverb aplenty\u00e2\u20ac\u009d stating that the new LP \u00e2\u20ac\u0153brings them closer in approach to that of groups like Band of Horses, My Morning Jacket and Athens\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Futurebirds.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>The of Montreal spin-off project of Davey Pierce and Nicolas Dobbratz know as Yip Deceiver offers playful, high energy dance pop with a buzzing funk vibe.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets for the event are available at The Jinx and are $8 in advance and $10 at the door.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And here you go:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LuN6gs0AJls\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"e26b170012445c56d240655bdd03f7bf\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5595881567027133\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"4374909701\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to MusicFile Productions, Modern English will be playing a show on August 28th at Dollhouse here in Savannah.
