musicRECOMMENDED EVENTS FOR MARCH 27 TO APRIL 2NEKO CASE THE ALICE ROSEStubb’s, Tuesday 31Mohawk, Thursday 2EDITED BY AUDRA SCHROEDERThat sound you hear, the wind No one churns out classic powerpopin Austin quite like the Alice Rose.listingsin the willows, something’s blowingin. Our rain-parched wellspring After two addictive singles, the localwelcomes the Middle Cyclone (Anti-)THEquintet, led by the emotive JoDeeDICKSPurkeypile, hit its stride with recentRoom 710, Friday 27sophomore effort All Haunt’s Sound,which takes all the right cues fromForget the jokes about “WheelchairSqueeze and early Elvis Costello. Likemindedlocal female trio Tribella andEpidemic” being the theme song foraging punks. Anyone who saw theDicks’ incendiary performance at theLeonard CohenLeonard Cohen’s probably the closest a musicianhas come to beatification. The Canadian poet, artist,and singer always radiated a mystical worldliness,The Long Center, Wednesday 1 & Thursday 2especially when women broke hisheart and wine didn’t take theweight off his shoulders. Songremains his redemption and communion,from 1967’s Songs ofLeonard Cohen through 1977’sDeath of a Ladies’ Man, the holytrinity of sex, death, and religion.Approaching 75 and on his firsttour in 15 years, Cohen kicksoff his hotly anticipated NorthAmerican tour here in the hometownof musical director RoscoeBeck and drummer Rafael Gayol.When I spoke with collaboratorPhilip Glass before his musical productionof Cohen’s Book of Longingstopped at the Bass Concert Hallin February, he shed some light onthe thread that makes Cohen’s arttimeless: “With Leonard’s work,you have to take several looksto figure out what he’s doing.Some of his work is angry. Someof it is whimsical. Some is funny.There’s not a deadly seriousnesswith him, which can happen withpoetry. Leonard Cohen is alwaysthere. He hides behind poetry, butI feel every word counts with him.”Tickets are still available for bothnights. 8pm. – Audra Schroeder88 T H E A U S T I N C H R O N I C L E MARCH 27, 2009 a u s t i n c h r o n i c l e . c o mAustin Music Awards last week knowsGary Floyd and company still striprock music to its bare bones andrattle the cage with anti-authority likethey’re twentysomethings at Raul’s.C’mon, when’s the last time youbraved the pit? – Margaret MoserFRANK GRATKOWSKISalvage Vanguard Theater,Friday 27No Idea Fest organizer and localpercussionist Chris Cogburn continuesinternational band immersion withCologne, Germany-based saxophonist/multireedistGratkowski.
