NIGHT & DAY

Edited by Megan O'Neil

Black Jake and the Carnies

1/6/2009

Black Jake and the Carnies

The Ark, Ann Arbor.

Ypsilanti's foot stompin', whiskey swillin' and banjo pluckin' "kings of crabgrass" celebrate the squalling, bloody birth of 2009 with one of their typically raucous live shows. Their backwoods-meets-concrete sound melds old-timey strings with fast-paced lyrics and a punk rock ethos (available for your listening pleasure on their debut Where the Heather Grows). Enjoy two sets of cautionary tales, murder ballads and rowdy reels, along with carnival games (they call themselves carnies, after all) at 8 p.m. at the Ark, 316 S. Main St., Ann Arbor; 734-761-1800; theark.org; $15.

Bacchanal Closing Party

1/10/2009

Bacchanal Closing Party

Izzy's Raw Art Gallery, Detroit.

This riotous celebration has less to do with drunken revelry and more with artistic carousing (although we're willing to bet booze was involved at some point in the creative process). Representatives of Detroit's eclectic musical mélange used paint, ink, found objects, trash, dirt, debris and who knows what else to create visual explorations of their sonic talent. Artists include a wonderfully varied cadre of miscreants including Tim Vulgar, T.M. Caldwell, Ron Zakrin, Danny Kroha, Wendy Case, Jaimie Easter and more. The show will be on display through Jan. 10 with a closing party that night at Izzy's Raw Art Gallery, 2572 Michigan Ave., Detroit; 248-207-7547.
