The remainder of Rocktober is looking pretty exciting. On Friday night Three Chord Truth brings us a ‘Bossa Nova and Samba Party’ at Brown Sugar in Xintiandi. This party features an apparent legend of Brazilian music, Toninho Horta. He didn’t invent Bossanova but from the praise of Pat Metheny, it sounds like he’s amongst the giants of the style. Metheny says “I’ve often described him to other musicians as the Herbie Hancock of bossa nova guitarists.” There’s gonna be a full samba band and hot dancers. It’s 120RMB on the door – see you there.
And on Saturday night, the real excitement begins. It’s another gig from my band, The Illumin8tors. We will be in the support slot at the next installment of Trash-a-Gogo at Yuyintang – headliners are The Fadeaways from Japan. The other support is former Beat Bandits’ Toshi’s new band, The Macaronians. The Illumin8tors will not be performing our whole show – we only have a 30 minute slot. But you will be hearing a bunch of the tunes and maybe even seeing some sexy choreography.
Fear not, for the following night, Sunday 23rd, we will be performing the first (almost) full presentation of Solar/Lunar: The Legend at Logo. There will be singing, dancing, capoeira, costumes, sitars, masks, stories, the whole she-bang. It’s free and it’s something of a warm up for the big gig coming up in November at Mao. Come on down, you will be entertained.

It would appear, my good man, that you’ve neglected to plug a certain show toward the end of the month in which you are appearing.
