The Noise 25th Anniversary Holiday Bash with The Rudds, Angeline, AKACOD and Uncle Shoe December 16, 2006

On Saturday, December 16th the Abbey Lounge hosts the Noise 25th Anniversary Holiday Bash. That’s right. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS of covering local music. For such a huge milestone, Noise publisher T Max is throwing a seriously cool holiday party.

Here’s the scoop: the music starts on the Abbey pub stage at 9pm with Uncle Shoe & VoigtDog, then moves to the main stage with Angeline at 9:30, followed by A.K.A.C.O.D, and The Rudds headline at 11:30.

The tongue-in-cheek, charmingly unkempt duo of Uncle Shoe & VoigtDog delivers a fresh blend of beat poetry and old timey tunefulness. “Just watchin’ these guys makes me smile,” says T Max. (http://www.mattsamolis.com)

Angeline is a soulful, folkie band fronted by the dynamic duo of Linda Viens and Emily Grogan. “This band is capturing something very special and I predict a successful future for them,” says T Max. (http://www.myspace.com/angelinemusic)

A.K.A.C.O.D. is the new smoky, psychedelic rock trio featuring Morphine/Twinemen saxophonist Dana Colley, Bourbon Princess vocalist/bassist Monique Ortiz, and drummer Larry Dersch (Binary System). (http://www.myspace.com/akacod)

The Rudds bring the party with their sexy twist of '70s classic rock and Prince-influenced sleaze, guaranteed to steer the 25th anniversary holiday bash into full-on dance floor debauchery. (http://www.therudds.net/)
