More Crazy Dogs and Irishmen

Shirley, you enjoyed viewing video of our Irish Radio Theatre comrades in arms, Crazy Dog Audio Theatre, earlier this month.

Not content to merely make the best comic radio theatre in the English language today, nooooo, they are stepping behind the footlights for a live theatre show entitled: "Marsyas - The Hippest Satyr."

Here is Part The Second:



Here is Part The Third:



Is there more truly goggling Crazy Dog live show to follow? You bet your fez, baby!

Coyote Radio Theater's deeply felt congrats on another great show to Head Crazy Dog Roger Gregg and his merry band of DSM-IV described canines!

WARNING - Change of Plans This Weekend at The Raven Cafe

Sometimes wires cross, signals turn to static, and in the mix of it all there is confusion. Somehow I misunderstood the actual closing date. We will not be open this Sunday through next Sunday. I was a day off, and I apologize for any brunch plans that may have been thwarted as a result.

Also, as new plans have come up:

Wednesday Night: Local Musician, Teacher, and all around Friend of the Jazz Community Mel Zelnick recently passed away. Services are being held Wednesday, friends and musicians are coming in from around the country, and a tribute concert is being held at the Raven Wednesday Night (Tonight). It promises to be a night of memories, new musical comraderies, and great Jazz. 7pm

Saturday: DJ O. Allen Huddleston will be on hand to spin a set of ambient, eclectic, danceable soul music. 8pm

Until Again,

Raven

Sign Up to Rule The Air Waves!

This Week, On A Very Special "What's Rockin'. . . ?"

Couple of things...

First, it's beautiful outside. Second, We are going to be closed next week for some structural work needed for the upcoming rooftop deck.

It will only be March 3rd through the 9th, and we promise the 10th will be business as usual. Thanks for your patience and understanding. We are only doing these things to make your experience with us even better. In the meantime, the upcoming week is very important. If you can only make it out one night this week make it Tuesday...see below.



Monday: Pizza, Pitcher, and a Picture Night continues. This weeks film is Stanley Kubrick's "Lolita." Great pizzas combined with scandalous films...it's what the best Hollywood foundations are built on. 8:30pm

Tuesday: Comes a time, once a year, when Ty has a Birthday. Ty likes to keep his birthdays quiet. We ask, "Why?" When a man is turning 33 years old it's important to have all of your friends around to help you celebrate. That's why we're asking you to come down on Tuesday night and help us celebrate Ty's 33rd Birthday. Ben and Miguel are putting together a fabulous Island inspired menu, and the Prescott Playboys will be on hand with special guests and surprises. Music starts at 7pm.

Wednesday: Ben and Cody are putting together the best Burger Menu in town. Local Musician, Teacher, and all around Friend of the Jazz Community Mel Zelnick recently passed away. Services are being held Wednesday, friends and musicians are coming in from around the country, and a tribute concert is being held at the Raven Wednesday Night (Tonight). It promises to be a night of memories, new musical comraderies, and great Jazz. 7pm

Thursday: Creole-Soul Food and a benefit for the Prescott Area Women's Shelter. PAWS cares for local women who are in abusive situations. The benefit will help provide funds for the shelter. The Raven will donate 10% of the evenings earnings, so, the more people who come out the better.

Music for the evening will be provided by Jonathon Best from 6pm until 7:30pm...Then, KING BEE and THE SNAPPIN' TURTLES will take the stage for an evening of snake handling and spiritual revivalist dance music. Evening starts at 6pm...Please come support PAWS for doing so much good work in the community.

Friday: Miguel will be cooking up some great ribs with all the fixins, as well as a whole bunch of other goodies. Adam Schrader will spin a Revival set of all the classics you forgot you loved so much.

Saturday: Tapas, Raven-Style. It's a classic concept, re-invented the way we love to do things. DJ O. Allen Huddleston will be on hand to spin a set of ambient, eclectic, danceable soul music. 8pm

Sunday: We will not be open this Sunday through next Sunday.

Your album of the week: MV and EE & The Golden Road "Gettin' Gone."
Imagine Neil Young, Sonic Youth, and Dinosaur Junior all working together on something that might sound like an alt-country album and you are probably pretty close to the mark. I drove back from Phoenix late a few nights ago and couldn't have asked for a better soundtrack.

Until Again,

Raven

Strange Sighting on the Dance Floor Last Nite

Last night at The Raven Cafe, DJ Bean 5000 was halfway through his set, when a sports mascot allegedly burst onto the dance floor and began to shake his furry thang.

The only evidence is this murky cellphone video and there have been claims that this is not an authentic sports mascot sighting, but rather an elaborate hoax, perpetrated by anthropomorphic woodland creatures.

Clearly, more research is needed. Mascot run amok or magical beastie?

You be the judge.

Last Night at The Raven Cafe: The Jon Rauhouse Sestet

Saturday nite: The Raven Cafe was especially proud to present an evening with The Jon Rauhouse Sestet. Jon is an unbelievable musician best known for his multi-instrumental backing of Neko Case and Calexico, his slide and pedal steel work setting a standard for musicians everywhere. Aside from that, he is an internationally recognized talent that sells out shows around the world.

Jon played here last May, and the response was overwhelming. Folks came from all over the state to see the show, and Jon sent us a note saying the Raven was definitely one of his favorite places he has ever played and you were one of the best audiences. This coming from an Austin City Limits regular.

PHX area bands Tierra Del Fuego and Farewell Review opened for him.


The full house included folks bringing in their kids to see the famed string man, out of towners come up to Everybody's Hometown for the gig and a Who's Who of the Prescott Cafe Crowd.


A wonderfully mellow night with the sounds of hawaiian guitar and harmony singing drifting back towards Studio A in The Raven Cafe.

This Weekend on Coyote Radio

Howdy Coyotistas!

Weekend #3 for our experimental community radio station, KYXS - AM 1670 - This weekend on Coyote Radio you can hear: Saturday and Sunday (all times are approximate)

(7 am) DJ Leslie Stevens' Route 66 Rockit Radio Show - This Ash Fork, AZ resident makes a syndicated show of alt-pop from the '60's. The Big Boss Sound of Route 66!

KYXS, Coyote Radio, is the only radio partner of Democracy Now! in Yavapai County.

(9 am) In For Questioning - from Studio A in The Raven Cafe building - Angie Johnson-Schmit interviews the riveting new hard-boiled crime fiction writer, Christa Faust. Her novelization of "Snakes on a Plane" surprised many critics by making that slight plotline sustain over more words than can be fit on a cocktail napkin.

Her upcoming novel, "Money Shot" is even better, a stunner set in the adult film industry. Tune in for the interview show that goes beyond "just the facts, m'am."

(9:30 am) Coyote Radio Theater - "SeaMonkeys" and "Kyla Jackson, Temp Spy - Episode #1"
Two audience favorites - a twisted commercial from the Smoke and Mirrors Division at GlobeCo, makers and exploiters of nearly everything. Followed by one woman's attempt to make it in a world full of dopey superspys and amorous idiots in mask and tights.

(9:45 am) Baseball History - Our announcer, Bob Wright, leads us once again through the hallowed halls of the National Pastime.

(10:00 am) Out of the Past: Investigating Film Noir - Clute and Edwards are waiting for you in the darkness - this time with an exploration of Rian Johnson's excellent debut, "Brick" - setting a tightly wound mystery filled with Chandleresque language in the mouths of teens slouching through the mean streets of contemporary high school life.

(10:45 am) "Masharama" - from Studio A in The Raven Cafe building - This DJ show explores the new musical form of mash-ups, strange new songs created by ripping apart existing songs,mixing and matching the basslines, vocals, guitars, etc. until a surprising new song rises up from the mixing board. The Beatles singing over Slashes guitar? Abba and the Bunnymen? Check it out and be hipper than your friends.

(11:45 am) Prescott Arts Beat - from Studio A in The Raven Cafe building - Kitchen Manager and Alt-Rock Guitar Hero Ben Dickey talks about reinventing the hamburger on SuperBurger Wednesdays at The Raven Cafe. Includes Andrew's 5 Big Questions.

(12:45 pm) "Secret Agent Mon" from Studio A in The Raven Cafe building - This DJ show imagines a movie of international espionage featuring a rasta action hero, a latina demolitions expert and a Khmer singing femme fatale with a black belt in love. This would be the soundtrack of that movie.

(1:45 pm) Citrus Valley Playhouse - radio theatre from Mesa, AZ - "Elliott Power" has returned to Citrus Valley, Arizona. Sometimes he wonders why. Life was good in California where he wrote movies for silent screen cowboys. Set during the golden age of radio, The Life and Times of Elliot Power is a comedy-drama which focuses on the meaning of home, family, and the wonderful insanity of living in the Valley of the Sun. Writer/Director/Voice Actor

Brian Nissen is a wonderful new voice in American NTR. You may have seen him and his group during their month long stand at the Elks Opera House last year. Like what you hear? Check out their new tribute to Wallace and Ladmo.

(2:15 pm) Lord Peter Wimsey - "Cloud of Witness - episode #1" a radio theatre adaptation of Dorothy L. Sayers' second novel, involving our intrepid , if languid, upper crust sleuth and a murder that threatens to explode the quiet of an english country house.

Valentine's Day, Mardi Gras, Mr. Orchid Fingers and the Return of the King Bee!

Punxsutawney Phil emerged from his burrow on Saturday, saw his shadow, and predicted six extra weeks of winter for 2008, but then again, he could just be a lazy groundhog looking to get in some extra sleep.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and we have plans to make it a special night for you and yours. For one night only, the Raven will be taking dinner reservations, providing table service, and turning itself into the most romantic dinner atmosphere in Northern Arizona. Ben and Miguel have put together a 5-Star Prix Fixe 5 Course Menu with a complimentary Champagne Split, and a gorgeous dessert by Debbie. We will be offering two seatings: 6pm and 8pm. Price is $90 per couple, and reservations are highly encouraged. Jonathon Best is working on a special Valentine's Evening Set of Piano Music. Call, E-Mail, or Stop By for Reservations or if you have any questions.

Monday: Pizza, Pitcher, and a Picture night continues. This weeks movie...Ground Hog Day starring Bill Murray. If you've seen it, you know you love it...if you haven't, you will love it. 8pm

Tuesday: Mardi Gras...By now you've probably noticed we tend to get a little worked up around holiday's that allow us to celebrate southern culture. That has a lot to do with the fact that a few of us come from the southland, and it's our way of sharing some of our heritage with you. Mardi Gras is all about celebrating, relaxing, eating some good food, hanging out with friends, listening to good music, and letting the good times roll. We'll be cooking up alligator, crawfish, rattlesnake, gumbo, ettouffe, and a few other surprises. We've got plenty of beads, MoonPies, and the best selection of New Orleans music this side of Louisiana. It will be a fun night for everyone. 6pm - until...

Wednesday: Ben's Famous Burger Night...come find out why everyone is saying we are making the best burgers they have ever had. It's an art form around here.

Thursday: Creole, Southern and Soul Food Night continues. We believe in the power of comfort food.

Friday: Put on your dancing shoes...King Bee and The Snappin' Turtles (Ben Dickey, Newt Lynn, and Adam Schrader) return for their first show at the Raven since Halloween. In case you missed that show , check out the little video clip and pictures on the Raven's myspace page for some idea of what's to come...www.myspace.com/ravencafe.....8pm

Saturday: The Raven Cafe is especially proud to present an evening with The Jon Rauhouse Sestet. Jon is an unbelievable musician known best for his multi-instrumental backing of Neko Case and Calexico. Aside from that, he is an internationally recognized talent that sells out shows around the world. Jon played here last May, and the response was overwhelming. Folks came from all over the state to see the show, and Jon sent us a note saying the Raven was definitely one of his favorite places he has ever played and you were one of the best audiences. This coming from an Austin City Limits regular. This will be a show you will not want to miss. He will be joined by Tierra Del Fuego and Farewell Review...8pm

Your Album of the Week...It's Mardi Gras, so I'll recommend a few albums for you this week...Dr. John's "In The Right Place" is always a great place to start for some great New Orleans music. If you want to get to the roots, try Professor Longhair's "Mardi Gras in Baton Rouge." Or, if you are just looking for the best funk available, try The Meter's "Look-Ka Py Py."

Until Again

Raven
