Pygmalion schedule changes, Emeralds and new Erin Fein project added
Pygmalion has made some changes to its schedule (and two additions) — definitely for the better, in our opinion. Here's a quick run through of the changes, followed by an updated schedule.
• The Built to Spill show on Wednesday night has been moved back an hour to help accommodate those wanting to see both Janelle Monae and Built To Spill. Capacity limitations still may apply.
• Caribou will perform at the Canopy Club on Saturday night along with new lineup addition [and touring partner] Emeralds. The Cleveland-based ambient/kraut group is touring behind the excellent What Happened, so this won't be one to miss. Single tickets for this show go on sale TODAY at 5 p.m.
• Cap'n Jazz will perform Saturday night at Stage 5 in Krannert Center, instead of Canopy Club. This is now a FREE show.
• Psychic Twin, a new project featuring Erin Fein of Headlights / Absinthe Blind, will perform on Thursday night at the Canopy Club prior to Surfer Blood.
• The show on Friday night at Caffe Paradiso featuring Colour Revolt, Pomegranates and Gold Motel has been moved to the Canopy Club, and will now begin at 6 p.m. Single tickets for this show go on sale TODAY at 5 p.m.
• Saturday's late show at Mike 'N Molly's has been dissolved into the other shows at the festival. Additionally, The Dirty Feathers will now perform at Canopy Club instead of Cowboy Monkey.
• If you purchased an individual ticket to the Cap'n Jazz show at Canopy Club, refunds will be issued by Etix (if you purchased online) and Canopy Club (if you purchased physically).

An attack site????? What does that even mean????
Psychic Twin is an exciting addition.

I’m a little concerned that Cap’n Jazz will draw a big crowd on that small stage, but hey, it’s free.
guest
why is the cap n jazz show free now? its kind of garbage for the people who supported early by buying passes and tix mainly because of this show.
I am not quite sure how offering free shows to the public is garbage, but you know, I’ll respond anyhow.
Each year, we try to present a couple of free concerts in conjunction with Pygmalion Music Festival so that folks can enjoy it, even if they don’t want to see everything, and moreover, because some folks don’t have the discretionary income to spend on even a show or two.
That said, if you bought a pass early, great. You still get to see Cap’n Jazz. And you still have tickets to Built to Spill, Janelle Monae, of Montreal, Surfer Blood, Fang Island, Those Darlins, Cults, Turbo Fruits, Plastician, Colour Revolt, Cut Chemist, Owen, +–{Plus/Minus}, Roky Erickson w/ Okkervil River, Ted Leo, Caribous, Royal Bangs, etc etc etc.
So, I am not sure how it matters whether or not it’s at Krannert for free or whether it’s at Canopy, for $15. Either way, you win, I think.
my biggest concern is what a pit in krannert will be like.

My biggest concern is that the free Caribou show at the Krannert is now not at the Krannert and no longer free. But then, I guess if that’s my biggest concern, then I’m doing pretty well—at least I still have potable water! Still, I would prefer it if next year Pygmalion made more of an effort to be about me and my needs.
miles
can i point out that this is the only schedule that emeralds are listed on.
http://schedule.pygmalionmusicfestival.com/ does not mention them, and says that dirty feathers are playing at 11:40—ten minutes after the schedule in this post has emeralds taking the stage.
they aren’t even pictured on the main pygmalion page.
Well, at the time this article was posted, Emeralds were on the festival. They are no longer playing.
miles
oh, well not to be too critical, but it seems like announcing this might have been fair.
happened to be looking forward to that one in particular.

An Acoustic Café Evening Tour always promises satisfaction, and with the talent Carrie brings, it will be more than worth the price of admission! Be sure to listen to deliradio.com/carrie-rodriguez to hear more!
hipsters are people, too.
Start the clock on when ward’s comment is deleted. Poking fun at the “hipsters” here is blasphemy, you know. At another site, someone—perhaps from here—was playing the usual card of “That band is well-known, so it must suck!” The resulting comment said: “Yeah, I remember the days…
No fair. SP should get a buncha shit for listing The Duke Of Uke as… The Duke Of Yuke, Just like when all the hipsters cry foul and whine like hell if The Buzz make the same error (ie honest mistake). Put it back to YUKE ol’ Seth McFeinstein =)

Nope. It’s the back (east) side of Urbana Tire Company at 202 S. Vine. How much is a hug and kiss worth? Do I have to take them all at once or can I break it up?
FACT: Silverfish feed only on carbohydrates, such as starches and sugars. They will not consume proteins or fats (the main materials from which human beings are constructed). THUS: That was not actually a human waiter we were conversing with, but rather a lifelike simulacrum created from semi-digested Fruit Loops.
nice fishnets you’ve got there, dan!
The geniuses at the News-Gazette site have it all figured out. This happened because we don’t have the Chief!
Pamela - Are the roasteries in Seattle as clean as CSR? It always disturbs me a little that it is so clean in there.
Now you will be able to munch on pizza and shrimp cocktails in downtown Urbana (whilst a DJ spins?) after your dissolution of marriage http://www.news-gazette.com/news/business/features/its-your-business/2012-02-05/its-your-business-new-pizza-place-downtown-urban Is this a franchise of a Reno pizza joint, or just a coincidence of name? http://www.blackrockpizza.com
Signs someone is “fishing” for a factual anchor: 1. Starts call to radio with: “I’ve been an Illini fan for (XX) years” or “I’m a diehard fan,” as if somehow that unverifiable claim will justify the 5 minutes of B.S. that follows. 2. Makes reference to KenPom…
That’s what she said.
Black dog and Siam terrace is where I always go after my divorces.
Love CSR. Apart from making my way through the regular roasts in 1/2 pound increments, I also like to pick up some of the little sample packets of the flavored stuff for when the lady and I feel like getting crazy. Sticky Bun is pretty nice.
If you happen to be getting a divorce, or fighting a DUI prosecution, downtown Urbana is a great place to eat.
HUUUUUUGE fan of their Black Velvet roast…It makes up about 75% of my coffee intake. LOL CSR is definitely one of those Champaign institutions that I brag about to people not from here. :-)
We like CSR too! We french press at home and I leave the lid off while it steeps—letting the ground beans bloom. Then, like in your tasting, I scoop off the top layer before pressing. We really need to invest in a burr grinder though, as I…
Confidential? In this state? Hahahahahahahhahahaha
There’s a great video promo out for “Company” too: http://vimeo.com/36077847
Wow, His Majesty took the time to answer your polite plea. It’s been a while since I spoke fluent arrogance, but allow this attempt at a translation: “I deeply regret the embarrassment…” = I wish we hadn’t got caught and it wasn’t a big deal really. “...and…

UPDATE: Evil Tents have regrettably had to cancel their appearance at tonight’s show. Closing out this evening’s festivities at Mike N Molly’s will be the ambient noise drone project, Urbana’s own Marathon. Thanks for understanding folks; Evil Tents will be back at MnM’s later this month. Raincheck. Cool? Cool.
