COMMUNION CLUB NIGHT
at Turf Club
Tuesday 02/17/15, 7pm ($8)
turfclub.net
Like clockwork, the monthly Communion Club Night is back this Tuesday, February 17th. Also worth noting is that new to 2015, Communion also added Chicago to their monthly music series.
This month will feature headliner Philadelphia electronic pop duo Marian Hill (Jeremy Lloyd and Samantha Gongol). The band probably took their name from a silent movie actress of the same name. The band’s music reached #1 on the Hype Machine popular charts and fans have been putting their music on all across their Spotify playlists (including “Got It” hitting the #1 Spotify’s top tracks).
Also on the bill, Kristin Diable from Baton Rouge. The ‘leggy crooner’ is said to have the soul of Lucinda Williams, but a voice of Bonnie Raitt.
Finally, for the local show, Black Market Brass, who described themselves as playing both new original songs, as well as covering classic 70’s Afrobeat and Afro-Funk music of West Africa.
Wait, that’s not all. In addition to the music, these Communion shows usually have local businesses at the show. The shows I have attended in the past, they feature anything from used records to vintage clothing to food. You never know what you’re going to get until you attend a show.
Also, maybe it is kind of too early to announce it, but Canadian band Hey Rosetta! will be headlining April’s Communion Club Nights. We previously saw them with Stars in November 2014, and we’re excited to hear that they’ll be back in April 2015.

We’ve seen Portland Cello Project (PCP) a few times, it’s always nice to see them come back to the Cedar. If you’ve never heard of them, they are basically cellists who cover popular modern songs, sometime to amusing effects.
This time around, PCP will be showcasing covers of their hometown hero, Elliott Smith, with a new cover album called to e.s. (which came out
December 2, 2014). Expect to hear those new tracks, as well as fan favorites like “Mission: Impossible” theme or Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep”, on their upcoming tour.
PCP will be in town on Wednesday, February 18th.
