When Portland's The Decemberists released their first full-length album, Castaways and Cutouts, in 2003, they seemed to appear fully formed — no muddled debut, no mucking about in ill-fitting genres. When Colin Meloy sang "And I say your uncle was a crooked French Canadian/ And he was gut-shot running gin/ And how his guts were all suspended in his fingers/ And how he held 'em/ How he held 'em, held 'em in" he sounded gleeful and strange, a peculiar storyteller over a rollicking melody. From their promotional photos to the line on their website that states "The Decemberists travel exclusively by Dr. Herring's Brand® Dirigible Balloons," these folks have an attention to playful detail that falls a bit outside the norm, resulting in a lot of reviews involving the word "quirky." Their Advance of the Picaroons Tour 2005 kicks off at the WOW Hall on Wednesday. New members (including Petra Haden, whose strikingly clear voice lit up two albums by The Rentals) are on stage, and a new album, Picaresque, is on the way. See Wednesday Calendar.
In 1997, Jonny Lang's guitar virtuosity stole the hearts of millions. His debut album, Lie to Me, went platinum and won him the praise of critics and musicians alike. Newsweek listed Lang among their Century Club; elected as one of the 100 Americans expected to shape popular culture in the new millennium. Rock and blues legends including Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones and B.B. King pleaded with Lang to open their worldwide tours. The 16-year-old with slick guitar work and a voice that sounds like a weathered cowboy after a fifth of whiskey and pack of Camels was poised to dominate the blues world. Almost a decade later, Lang remains level-headed, continuing his pragmatic brand of blues rock. Unencumbered by the temptations of rock stardom, Lang's music is as polished and striking as it was then. His most recent record finds him socking the uninitiated with power ballads and rock anthems. See Saturday Calendar. — Steven Sawada
For her one of her very first performances, back in the summer of 1972, Laurie Anderson stood on the streets of New York, her feet in ice skates that were frozen into a block of ice, and played her violin. When the ice melted, that was it — the performance was over. In the years since then, Anderson has released seven albums and continued to use unexpected elements and a variety of media in her performances. Saturday at the Shedd, she'll be performing a work called The End of the Moon, a combination of stories, songs, and music. See story, page 30, and Saturday Calendar.
