THURSDAY 5/11 AXE & FIDDLE King Roy Wing, ROCK ’N’ ROLL PROPHET California songwriter Chuck Prophet’s latest release, Bobby Fuller Died for Your Sins, recalls an era when Nick Lowe and Elvis Costello back-flipped over metal’s devil horns and prog rock’s wizard hats, reviving a kind of pop songwriting traditionalism that at the time felt radical in its simplicity — a look back in order to move forward. And listening to the record you can sense Prophet and his band cut their teeth in bars, which in this era of Auto-Tune and overdubbing is itself a little shocking. Like you could shout out from the audience, requesting “Mustang Sally,” “Street Fighting Man” or a Jonathan Richman tune and they could work out an impromptu cover on the spot. “That stuff’s in my DNA,” Prophet tells EW over the phone. Prophet recalls a conversation with David Dye, then host of NPR’s radio program World Café. “I said, ‘I’m still not bored with two guitars, bass and drums,’” Prophet explains. “And he said, ‘Well, in 2017, that’s folk music.’” And speaking of folk music, Prophet’s storytelling style and penchant for pithy turns-of-phrase bring to mind quirky folk-rock songwriters like John Hiatt. In “Jesus was a Social Drinker,” Prophet sing-talks in his chocolate-y yet blue-collar baritone over a heartbeat cowbell and doo-wah-wah backing vocals: “He never had a laptop/ A spiral notebook or a pen/ But he wrote a bestselling novel/ Disappeared and was never heard from again.” Elsewhere, with the song “In The Mausoleum (for Alan Vega),” Prophet pays tribute to deceased punk musician Alan Vega of Suicide, taking Suicide’s fevered deconstruction of rock ’n’ roll basics and adding elements of surf rock and the swinging boogie of a classic car rally. Chuck Prophet plays with Dan Tedesco 9:30 pm Saturday, May 13, at Sam Bond’s Garage; $10, 21-Plus. — Will Kennedy CLUB 100 YEARS 10PM FRIDAY, MAY 12TH: OREGON DIRT, PRETTY DRUNK, ELECTRIC FUNERAL $5 TRASHGRASS, STONER METAL 10PM SATURDAY, MAY 13TH: 2ND NATURE PRESENTS...FRESH INC, VIRTUE, PAWZ ONE, VEGA MONSTER AND DJ JOHN HENRY $5 HIP HOP, RAP 933 Olive St | 541-687-4643 830 Olive St | 541-343-3204 luckeysclub.com • In the heart of the Barmuda Triangle 28 May 11, 2017 • eugeneweekly.com Betty & The Babes—8:30pm; folk, americana, $5 B&B LOUNGE Karaoke— 9:30pm; n/c THE BARNLIGHT Karaoke w/ Breezy Bee—9pm; n/c BEERGARDEN Hip Billys— 7:30pm; americana, n/c BLACK FOREST An Empty Room, X Suns—10pm; ambient, doom, n/c COWFISH Purrsday w/Kitty Trap—9pm; bass, house, trap, dubstep, n/c DEXTER LAKE CLUB Karaoke w/ Jared—9pm; n/c HAPPY HOURS Crystal Harmony Karaoke—8:30pm; n/c HI-FI LOUNGE Duffrey, Art of Fact, Oneness, Jellyfyst— 10pm; electronic, $10-$12 HULT CENTER Alpine Symphony—8pm; $23-$71.50 JAZZ STATION Darrell Grant— 7:30pm; jazz, $15 LUCKEY'S Grateful Dead Family Jam—10pm; dead covers, open jam, $3 MAC'S Paul Biondi & Friends— 6pm; variety, n/c MAX’S DJ Victor—10pm; hits, old standards, requests, n/c MCSHANE'S Acoustic Underground Open Mic— 7:30pm; n/c OLD NICK'S Jargon, A Pack of Majors, Xray VSNS, Liz Unphair—9pm; noise rock, avant, $3-$5 OVERTIME BAR & GRILL Blues Jam w/Brian Chevalier, Dave Roberts, Leopp & Cooper—7pm; n/c POKER LOUNGE Karaoke w/ Sassy Patty—7pm; n/c SAM BOND'S GARAGE Eryn Bent—9pm; acoustic, folk, $5 SHADOWFOX Open Mic—8pm; n/c THE SHEDD Hanneke Cassel Band—7:30pm; $18-$26 TERRITORIAL VINEYARDS Tim McLaughlin—7pm; n/c WAYWARD LAMB EDM In The Den—10pm; dj, dancing, n/c before 11, after $3 FRIDAY 5/12 5TH ST CORNUCOPIA Howler Monkey—9:30pm; n/c AGRARIAN ALES Grand Ronde String Band—5pm; bluegrass, old-timey, n/c AXE & FIDDLE Electronic Dance Party—9pm; n/c BLACK FOREST Pale People, Boom Chick, Coldfire—9:30pm; alt, rock, n/c BLAIRALLY Church of the 80s w/Chris, Jen & John—8pm; 80s vinyl, $3 BREWSTATION the huckelber- rys—7:30pm; folk, rock, n/c BRONCO SALOON Karaoke w/ Lindsey—9pm; n/c COWFISH SPOC-3PO—9pm; dance-pop, underground, $5 DAVIS DJ Crown—10pm; hip- hop, dance, reggaeton, $5 DOC'S PAD Karaoke w/KJ Power—9pm; n/c DUCK BAR Karaoke w/Breezy Bee—9pm; n/c DRIFTWOOD BAR Karaoke w/ Slick Nick—9pm; n/c EL TAPATIO CANTINA Karaoke w/ KJ Rick—9pm; n/c HAPPY HOURS Living The Dream—8pm; rock & roll, n/c HERITAGE DISTILLING CO Robert Meade—6pm; up-beat accoustic, R&B, americana, n/c HI-FI LOUNGE Sol Seed—10pm; reggae fusion, $10 HI-FI MUSIC HALL Zepparella— 8pm; $16-$20 JAZZ STATION Barbara Healy & Groove Too—7:30pm; jazz, $10 JERSEY'S Karaoke w/Sassy Patty—9pm; n/c KEG TAVERN Karaoke w/J'Lynn—9pm; n/c LAMB COTTAGE Stephan Nance—7pm; singer-songwrit- er, $5 sug. don.
