By now perhaps you’ve heard about Silver Jews’ Jan. 31 Bluegrass Underground show at Cumberland Caverns . According to the BU website, Arnett Hollow will be opening. Mr. David Berman himself anticipates great things. Straight from the horse’s mouth [sic]:

well monotonix will be in fur one pieces playing drums with dinosaur bones and zildjan clamshells. I think i want William Tyler to depcit Chakha from Land of the Lost; tony crow will be deposited inside a Lascaux-Wildlife printed tuxedo from Petsmart Couture…but seriously there will be some major items. one thing i can tell you is that the silver jews credo "what we do is symbolic" is definitely in play here. I wouldn’t be surprised if this wasn’t the last silver jews show. We have a couple of shows in south america in the summer but that’s it.

So there you have it. Whether or not Willy T. dons a Cha-Ka body suit, I’m thinking this could be the show of the year. At the very least, it will be the finest spelunking-rock-and-roll hybrid event of the winter season.
