Fond Farwell


Norman, OK's own musical genius Dorian Small will be playing two shows this month that are pretty special. Special because his keyboard and piano player Ryan Jones (of The Ills fame) will be leaving at the end of November to take a job on a cruise ship for 6 months. Dorian told me he is considering picking up another member for the duration of Ryan's hiatus, but it would probably take two people to do what he does live. However he also mentioned that he is starting to get acclimated with samples and might do some back-tracking. Either way you need to get your ass to one of these shows, especially if you haven't seen Dorian live yet. His music is amazing. It's like if the Beatles and Beck had a kid and bathed it every night in Brian Wilson's rehab sweat. The first one I actually booked myself and is this Friday, November 9 at Bison Witches. Ryan Lindsey (of Starlight Mints fame) and Austin band Black Before Red will be opening the show. All great bands for only a meager $5! Dorian will also be playing some new tunes from his upcoming album. The second, and last for a while, is at The Deli on November 30 (although I have seen a flyer that suggests it is on the 25, just keep your ear to the ground).
