NOTE 2: I'm not sure what one would need to say to convince you to check out this show, but I think the mind-blowing lineup does all the work: Mike Mills of R.E.M., Dan Wilson (Trip Shakespeare), Mark Eitzel, Peter Holsapple and Chris Stamey of the dB’s, Jason Falkner, Jody Stephens of Big Star, Dennis Diken of the Smithereens, Freedy Johnston, Syd Straw, the Cars’ Elliot Easton, Redd Kross, the Three O’Clock, Terry Reid, Mike Viola (Candy Butchers), the Dream Syndicate’s Steve Wynn, Yo La Tengo’s Ira Kaplan, Anna Waronker and Rachel Haden of That Dog, Peter Asher, Dramarama’s John Easdale, the Minus 5’s Scott McCaughey, Brian Wilson collaborator Darian Sahanaja, Steve Stanley, Kristian Hoffman, Nic Guzman, and the band Jackshit - aka Elvis Costello's rhythm section - and so many more. A note-perfect and kaleidoscopic recreation of the Kinks' klassic album, plus an extended set of many (many, many) other tunes from the Davies brothers' expansive catalog. Absolutely one for the books.

NOTE 3: I have verified with DiME mods that Dennis Diken's appearances here do not constitute a violation of the Smithereeens' appearance on the NAB list. Enjoy!

Artists listed below indicate lead/featured vocals only. Please listen to the recording for additional details on musicians attached to each track, as it literally took a book to list them all at the show.
