***ALL HIGHDIVE EVENTS ARE 19 AND OVER*** Thursday September 4th... BELIKOS Doors Open 9:00pm Curb Service 10:00pm Sangamon 11:00pm Belikos 12:00am Organic Flow 1:00am ![]() "Belikos is a much needed blend of kick ass and hell yeah!! Belikos is a smack of rich, raw, rare talent that comes around once a decade. They are like a rock tsunami, that picked up the village of hip-hop and smashed the whole damn thing on you." (Adam Rey from Ann Arbor’s 107.1 WQKL) "Belikos is gifted with the power to entertain. No matter where they are, they bring life to the scene. I have seen them turn the girls standing, arms crossed and doubtful, into the girls dancing on the tables by the end of the night. With their captivating charisma and a beat that won't quit, they are one of the most refreshing acts that I have seen in a long time." (Eric Ashmont, "Shmonty" from 92.7 / 96.9 WRRV, The New Rock Alternative) www.myspace.com/belikos -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friday September 5th... WEBB WILDER Doors Open 7:00pm The Delta Kings 8:00pm Webb Wilder 9:15pm (DJ Night 11:00pm) ![]() Wilder has been called "a kind of Tom Petty for the trailer set" (San Francisco Chronicle), though he describes his style thus: "We play both kinds of music, Rock AND Roll." "Beneath a broad-brimmed hat and a pair of nerdy-looking specs stands one of the toughest roots rockers of any era. On this scorching live CD — originally part of a DVD set — Wilder loads up on fan favorites like "Human Cannonball," "One Taste of the Bait," and "Poolside." Born To Be Wilder also serves as an excellent intro to Wilder's vast catalog, which he's been steadily working at for more than two decades now. His distinctive baritone and deadpan stage patter guide the way, while the Beatnecks rock with the economy of an old-time country band. Smokin' leads last just long enough, and the three guitarists burn through the songs without any pileups. As Wilder says, "Make yourself at home, have a snow cone, and enjoy the show." (Cleveland Scene) www.myspace.com/webbwildernow -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuesday September 9th... SLAID CLEAVES Doors/Bar Open 8:00pm Graham Weber 8:30-9:00pm Slaid Cleaves 9:15-10:45pm ![]() Slaid Cleaves is known as a "songwriter's songwriter," which is usually a polite way of saying "he can't sing." But there's no need for decorum with the Maine-born, Texas-based troubadour: For all of his command of song craft, Cleaves would still be working as a pharmaceutical guinea pig were it not for his warm, gently burred tenor. He phrases like a grifter trying to croon his low-down past away — and writes like he knows he never will. When his new folkie peers see angels over every other barista's shoulder, Cleaves sees through sentiment. "I've been chasing grace but grace ain't so easily found," he sings on "One Good Year," just one of many subtle, momentary stays against the dark side of his heart. That heart doesn't bleed easily — but when it does, it bleeds true. (Roy Kasten, River Front Times, St Louis, May 14, 2008) www.slaidcleaves.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thursday September 11th...
