AA-S Best Bet – ‘Love, Janis’:
“Love, Janis” opens tonight at the Long Center. The Broadway-style show depicts the life of iconic musician Janis Joplin, beginning with her departure from her hometown of Port Arthur for San Francisco, to auditions and her musical career through her songs and the letters she wrote home to her family. The musical mixes Joplin’s songs and words from her letters and interviews to give the audience a candid view of the rock star. It runs until Sunday. A portion of ticket sales benefits the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians and Equality Texas.

Poi Dog Pondering: After more than 20 years – several famously spent in Austin – and nearly a decade toying with electronics, Poi Dog Pondering returned to its roots. The group’s latest, 7, is loose and funky, filled with tunes that recall their early sun-baked vibe.
“I went through this period where I was involved in a whole different kind of music,” relates bandleader Frank Orrall. “I felt the music spoke better than the words, so I put down the pen. During that period, we barely toured. In 2005 or ’06, there was a drive to write a lyric-based record and get on the road and play everywhere.
“It’s kind of a reawakening where I thought, ‘I really missed this.’
“On our previous records, we used a lot of digital recording and ProTools, because that was the new stuff at the time,” explains Orrall. “It made it easy, because you could do stuff at home. This time we said, ‘Fuck that, the studio is way more fun,’ and we spent a lot of time in these two classic Chicago studios that had an old-school feel to them. It was like, ‘Two-inch tape, motherfucker!’”
Another benefit of the reawakening: Longtime Poi Dog fans will be thrilled to know that the current set list spans the band’s entire career.
“There’s a feeling of looking back over the catalog with a sense of pride,” Orrall concludes. “I felt shy about playing things from the first record, because it felt like so long ago. Now, I actually feel like I love every one of our records, and I want to play songs from all of it.” – Jim Caligiuri
