Sound Menu December 09 2000 Tues

TUES/DECEMBER 12
Noted Acts
DIO, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, DORO PESCH — Somebody call Keebler, cause Ronnie James Dio could certainly use a shot of Elfin magic. Down too long in the midnight sea, Dio has parlayed his historic early work in the genre into the perpetual obscurity tour — thanks to his boring lack of musical growth. Joining the S.S. Who Cares? is Swedish oxygen thief Yngwie Malmsteen. His scale-filled histrionics are about as exciting as an oatmeal eating contest. Reason to attend: Doro Pesch. (see article, p. 86). Masquerade (Kohler)
FRANCINE REED — A genuine class act, R&B vocalist Reed is best known for her work with Lyle Lovett. However, recently she recorded with Willie Nelson on his Milkcow Blues CD, which led to appearances on Letterman and the A&E network. She now is working on her own recording career again, with the four-song Christmas CD, Here Comes Frani Claus, just out and full-length CD due by spring. Barnes & Noble, Perimeter Mall (Powell)
SURVIVOR COMEDY: THE THIRD TEST — Alyssa Barnett and Matt Montgomery host the laugh-fest at Eddie’s tonight. Hopefully, patrons will ignore the “Shhhhh!” banners tonight and have a hearty laugh, not stifle their guffaws as they must do on many open mic nights. Eddie’s Attic (Smith)
