[TRIBUTE] Departed rock god Lou Reed once said “I don’t like nostalgia unless it’s mine.” Well, for many people, Reed’s nostalgia is also their nostalgia. Records like Transformer, Berlin, and Lou Reed are tools that some use to make sense of their dark sides, and when we recall these legendary records, we’re transported back to the moment we first heard them, or to the moment we realized their significance. I remember hearing The Velvet Underground’s “Run Run Run” and “Heroin” for the first time and thinking oh, this is where my favorite artists got it from—realizing his immense influence. Those are moments that we become nostalgic for. On Saturday, March 5, eight bands will bring their nostalgia to the surface for a special birthday tribute to Lou Reed titled Some Kinda Love. Bands The Dark Marbles, Tremendo, the Irving Klaws, the Card Cheats, Bad Ronald, the Good, Squid Carrot, and Bodega Wall Trance will dip into Reed’s deep discography and pick out some of their favorites to perform live for all of those Femme Fatals and Lonesome Cowboy Bills out there.
