2009-08-08: Creaking Planks with Raghu Lokanathan and the Joey Only Outlaw Band at Cafe Deux Soleils

Having been exposed to his striking work at ArtsWells past, when the Creaking Planks learned that songwriter Raghu Lokanathan had moved from Prince George down to Victoria we just had to invite him to do a show with us there, which went off like a house on fire back in early 2008.  He helped us with some travel complications as best he could as well as delivering an immaculate set.  Now another ArtsWells is upon us and immediately following, this musical man will be in our general vicinity (featuring at the Jericho Folk Club Tuesday August 4th as well as on the Accordion Noir radio show Friday Aug 7th from 9:30-10:30 pm.)  (And here that radio session is!)  Needless to say, we’re champing at the bit to present him to the hairy hippies of East Van, and have dovetailed a couple of plans in order to do so the evening of Saturday, August 8th, at Cafe Deux Soleils (2096 Commercial Drive).  The Planks will be tasty sandwich filling in the middle, followed by a dense slice of psychedelic country punk from the Joey Only Outlaw Band!

A tip o’ the hat to postermeister Daisy-Jones Locher!
