This was a pretty kick-azz weekend for local music, but I have to give you all a heads-up about one particular band — Dashboard Nixon. I interviewed these boys in March and immediately loved them for their fun, quirky, good-time sense of humors. I found out those traits carry to the stage after seeing them live this weekend.
If you want a party (and I did this weekend), this is the band to make it happen. From Toto to Michael Jackson to Van Morrison, the guys played the stuff you forgot you wanted to hear but jump up and down and “woooooo” when they remind you.
They’re all pieces of former popular local bands Gridley Paige, Cosmo and Morning After, but sound brand new.
OH!! Watch out for the occasional guest vocals from Molly Schlotterer who sang a version of Evanescence’s “Call me When You’re Sober.” This chick sings with a power that’ll make you notice – no matter how many Utica Clubs you drank. Hands down, one of the best female vocalists I’ve heard in the area since I’ve been on the scene.
You definitely want to make this band a part of your rounds of summer sounds. They’ll be at Route 69 Steakhouse in Whitesboro Saturday, May 2.

Just heard: Kid Rock is set to perform at the state fair this year. He’ll be there at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 5. Tickets are $45 and $50, and go on sale Saturday, May 9. Click on Ticketmaster.com. Also to hit the fairgrounds: Kelly Clarkson, Kenny Chesney, Jeff Dunham, Crue Fest 2 and Big & Rich.
