Pardner's Annual Labor Day Show - Sat.Sept.5-09
You may or may not be aware of the Atlanta band called "Pardner". If you are not aware of them, you shouldn't feel like you are out of the "loop", but you should feel a little twinge of "Dang, I wish I'da known this had been going on right under my nose".
Yes, Pardner has been a band for 15 - 19 years, (depending on whom you ask) playing a very strange, highly entertaining and accessible brand of Rock/Country/R&B filtered through a fine mesh of misfit, southern existential disbelief in the passage of time beyond 1981.
Pardner shows are sporadic, save for one constant: The Labor Day Show. The Saturday before labor day has long been a time for celebration in this crowd. For them, they're friends and family, this show seems to represent the end of both the Summer, and the Season of Good Times, marked by a much needed 4 day weekend to honor the workin' man.
"I say Labor, You say Day!"
Pardner, while masters of reviving the obscure Country classic, really seem to be hitting a late stride with their own original songs, which could now fill several albums, though they have strangely only recorded three songs in their entire history.
A large chunk of which chronicle the band's continuing fantasy construct of a communal 'lake house' in which a deep well of pard'lore' is constantly churning like a thick stew.
That said, in today's high-tech, electric world, I simply cannot believe that there are no pictures of them online, THERE ARE NO YOU-TUBE VIDEOS of Pardner. THERE'S NO SONGS ON MY ITUNES! How lazy are these guys?
Aren't all bands supposed to berate you with constant texts, emails, voicemails, myspace comments, facebook requests, and cold calls? Some bands go door to door, but Pardner; it's like they couldn't care less.
I don't get the joke. Where is your FACEBOOK FAN PAGE! It's like they don't want me to like them.
but I do, and so should you.
Come see Pardner with me on Saturday, Sept. 5th 2009 at the Star Bar in Atlanta, Little 5 Points and help me find out why they are so damn ambivalent about the future.
Show starts at 9:30
