On Tuesday, Jan. 26, and Wednesday, Jan. 27, Pizza Luce will host a two-night benefit show to raise money for Haiti earthquake relief efforts. Music starts at 10 p.m.; cover is $5.

Tuesday’s bluegrass lineup
Two Many Banjos
Hobo Nephews of Uncle Frank
Rich Mattson

Wednesday’s hip-hop/reggae lineup
Crew Jones
2 one 8
Prince Paul
Miss Mae
DJ Horse Fist

Both Tuesday and Wednesday nights will begin with a silent art auction, featuring local paintings, photographs and jewelry. There will also be a raffle each night for gift certificates to over twenty local businesses, such as Electric Fetus, Jitter’s, New Scenic Cafe and more. Raffle tickets are $5 each.

All money raised will go to Wyclef Jean’s Yele Haiti organization, a grassroots organization providing relief aid to Haiti. UPDATE: Due to the recent allegations against Wyclef Jean’s organization, referenced in the comments to this post, the organizers of this event have decided to instead donate 75% of proceeds to Oxfam and 25% to the Kako Foundation.

DNT Attic is Back!

Zeito Jan 18, 2010 1 Comment

I noticed last week that the DNT Attic has returned to the Duluth News Tribune site. After Andrew K. was let go the site was never quite as good, but I appreciated that they were at least updating it with new posts from time to time. They just started updating it again after four months of silence. However the posting from January 18th looks strangely familiar to something I’d read before. Coincidence?

Barbarous Hospitality

annklefstad Jan 18, 2010 6 Comments

Ellen Sandbeck’s new book “Green Barbarians” is having its book launch at the Spiritual Deli at 3 W. Superior St. It’s fine, bold foray that turns away from ecological no-saying into ecological yes-saying. It’s also illustrated with Sandbeck’s elegant black and white papercut images, and with her great little “barbarian” glyph–just made for a tattoo.

It’s a costume party: come as a Green Barbarian (or for you Avatar fans, a bluegreen barbarian) and Win Fabulous Prizes. It’s Fri., January 22 at 6 pm.

Eat, drink, and be merry in good barbarian style (you might even find out about “bread napkins”). Northern Lights Books will be there with copies of the book to buy.

I heard the Laughing Hearts are playing at the Thirsty Pagan in Superior on Sat. Jan 23. They’re an awesome, highly entertaining Celtic renaissance pub band. Go join in Pirate Night fun at the Pagan. I’ll be there for sure!

Very new Duluthian high school indie rock band Excuse Me Princess has released a video for their song entitled “Some Time to Kill”! It’s pretty radical, I’d say.

From the Photo Archive: One Man Gang wrestling in Duluth on Oct. 8, 1987

Paul Lundgren Jan 15, 2010 14 Comments

OneManGangFU2

This photo by Barrett Chase is from a World Wrestling Federation card at the Duluth Arena. The badass in the foreground is George Gray, wrestling that night as the One Man Gang. In the match he defeated Koko B. Ware via count-out.

The show is clearly being stolen here by the guy in the Pabst hat and the middle-finger sign in the background. And that’s what makes professional wrestling so special.

More Duluth wrestling photos can be seen in the post: “Duluth Arena Pro Wrestling Photos from the 1980s – Killer Khan and so on.”

Below is a shot of the One Man Gang as he enters the ring. Later in his career, by the way, Gray changed his gimmick and became Akeem the African Dream.
