Okay people - this is going to be a quick update as we in the middle of a massive creation boom here at the Boot. We got ideas flowing through our skulls like a million miles a minute. We are going to see a meteor shower and hopefully take some bitchin photos of space. Wouldn't it be cool if space had it's own website that rivaled myspace? But it couldn't be monitored by NASA or anything. It would have to hosted by celestial beings or something but Carl Sagan could be the webmaster. Okay enough of that, be sure to check out our flickr for the Sullivans Pond Farm photoset. It was an amazing visit and we will be featuring their goat cheese here at the Boot for the next few weeks. Right now we are preparing our new Fall menu and we will post a

Quick note - The Naro is having an advance FREE screening of Arctic Tale this Tuesday at 7:30. Be sure to pay attention to the schedule announcement of the Naro's Green Screen Festival as it will be end of September and beginning of Oct. Also more news on the Slow Food Hampton Roads to come later this week so be sure to follow our website and myspace posts. JOIN Slow Food USA

Time: 8pm

waves of grain bring on the brain drain .

Yes we are open for a special Monday evening event and it will be our late night menu in effect for the entirety. Now now we know that an all instrumental show is a tough gig to pull off but first off we would like to say that even though these 3 bands do not require a vocalist their music is so entirely different from one another that it can only mean one thing. Total excitement. Yes! Did you know that before 1941 they didnt even have vocalists? Yes yes not until World War Two did we get the courage to sing out. So let us go back to yesteryear and enjoy what made our ancestors frolic around the fire. encompassing wild free form jazz to ambient hypnotic tones and onward to grunge era rock n roll. This will be the magnum opus of our Roman heritage month. Everyone will get a free grape cluster.

Time: 9pm
Tickets: $5

quarters in my eyes make my sleep rich .

Sharp and jagged like Krypton but smooth and handsome like Kal-El. We shall say that They Shoot Horses played Relative Theory last year and we were totally stunned. While fans of their debut record we felt an understanding before the show of what was about to happen. Arise from my chair and to the front row in a dash, this did share the mark of their recording however it was more friendly and even still more boisterous. One of the best ways we have learned to describe They Shoot Horses is people hate it as background noise but if you give it your full undivided attention it's better than breakfast with the King. When they play live it will be grand - you will see, not to mention there is a guy in the band who sounds exactly like Heimlich from A Bug's Life and he is awesome! Alina Simone also played Relative Theory last year and this will be our soft opening, much like foreplay. Remember Sinead O'Connor? We do. J Karner & The Peterson Bros are on hand made from the various ashes of local rock bands, their sound is definitely a rollercoaster. And if you haven't heard of locals Deep Sea Divers get over to their myspace and listen to their one song - they have come a long way.

Gold Streets | site
Churn | site

Time: 10pm
Tickets: $5

take a dip in Boot Fountain .

We want to say what if Brit Pop was more punky and not so melodramatic, but then are we just talking about New Wave? If Karen O. of Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Elizabeth T. of Cocteau Twins worked in a cubicle who would be the first to kick over the water cooler? Okay that is too easy because Elizabeth T. would never kick anything except maybe her moped if it didnt start. Also locals Churn keep that 90s fun loving free for all going with fast driven guitars over a melodic backdrop is enough to make anyone want to eat cupcakes and drink beer. Think over-excited Dinosaur Jr. Please call your limo driver and tell them to cancel your appointment with your dog therapist. You can buy a cd at the show and play it for your pup and it will be a lot cheaper.

Time: 10pm
Tickets: $5

like cruising space at 25 mph .

And now we turn to the Private Sea. Fuzzy and dreamy like a tunnel underground made of velvet, oh my! Is anyone out there guessing that the Boot loves psychedelia? Seriously anything that looks like it should have been in the soundtrack for Austin Powers but was given the axe because it wasnt cheesey enough is pretty much where we are setting our sights. Actually anything that could have been in a Wes Anderson film is sure to hit our stage. Have you ever ridden the Chinatown bus and thought if you weren't surrounded by grandparents and the rap stars of tomorrow they would have to make it cheaper? That is a swell bonus for a midnight bus ride. The night starts with ear ticklers The Speedbumps and ends with roots rock of The Dirty Tramps.

Tickets: $5

that desert bush makes you see double .

If you have an antique truck you get $2 off your cover for this show. If your antique truck runs on bio diesel you get in free. Need to have antique plates to proove it. Boot does not believe in VINs - We believe they exist but are also very aware of chop shops. Please take note that we do have cheap whiskey here and Shoot The Boot is actually pretty good for a shooter. Best way to analyze this here show other than down home is to think of Dustin Hogue as before electricity and Pawn Shop Lifters as after electricity. Does that do it okay for ya? Guess what today is? Now give me a kiss.
