COOLEST Performance Space in United-States-of-Americas
(Julia Haltigan,Little House, Waverly, Alabama)
Up till now, it's been one of the region's best kept secrets. But we here at SnakeBIT feel it's time to drop the whole hush-hush, velvet-rope, andy-warhol-invitation-only-esque facade and let a slightly broader public know: the brilliant forces at STANDARD DELUXE in yonder Waverly have come up with an even greater, more rarefied, even cooler performance space than ever before here in the Lee, Chambers and Tallapoosa tri-county Alabamian area - and - we would even venture to say - what might be, very possibly, the best, coolest, most intimate and rarified (yet still open, approachable & utterly unpretentious) performance space in all the Untited States of America.
Think Live at The Blackhawk, think The Peel Sessions, think Austin City Limits on a good night, and - if it does't make you cry, think of a a teeny-tiny, very special deep-south version of Levon Helm's barn: think of all of those places & you could be thinking of a place almost as cool as The Little House at Standard Deluxe over in Waverly.
Little Place, incredible Acts, strangely magical Sound.
It all adds up to some strangely other-worldly experience of the bands & the music, and the people who are playing that somehow adds up to being very larger than the parts. But you kind of just have to be there to understand. So here's hoping you are able.
As an added bonus, a series of boutique, extra-fine & live recordings of several recent and upcoming shows from sound Artist/Engineer Mr. Burke Carroll of Camp Hill, Alabama are being recorded, soon to be available to a broader public.
TONIGHT the Little House in Waverly Alabama will be graced with the incredible pipes of songstress Ms. Julia Haltigan, all the way from up in cold New York city; still some tickets left to hear Ms. Haltigan (who sings the finest version of 'Boots of Spanish Leather' you ever did hear) goto Standard Deluxe Facebook page/& check the info at your left for purchasing tix ($12) for you or any lucky others.
And as for the joshing about velvet ropes & Andy Warholisms & etc? Well, the Little House is as rare as it gets, and as fine; and as for all the velvet ropes & such we all know just to use strong rope, barb-wire or just a little touch of duct-tape way out here in the country.
