Union to rock 'n' bowl with local Playthings

A Lawrence rock n' roll band with a subtle 1980s influence will perform at the Jawblow tonight.
The Playthings consists of Tim Brown, guitar and vocals; Jenny Hart, bass and vocals; and Steven Anderson, drums. Tonight's show will begin at 9:30 p.m., and the Tula, Okla., band Jify Trip will open.
Hart, a Lawrence senior, said the Playthings had been together about two years. Members of the band were friends with Danger Bob, another Lawrence band. She said the band started practicing during its leisure time in the space used by Danger Bob.
"It was kind of a fluke," she said. "We would just play Danger Bob's instruments when they weren't practicing, and it eventually became a regular thing."
The band's previous drummer was former Bubble Boys member Jason Carr, who moved to San Francisco this winter. Hart said
Carr contributed greatly to the band's development.
"Jason helped us shape our sound by bringing his punk influence," Hart said.
The Plaything's sound is difficult to pigeonhole, she said.
"We like to keep it edgy,with a bit of new wave,and we like to sing about cars."
The Playthings are recording a full-length album at Underground Sounds in Lawrence. Hart said the album, expected for release in April, is tentatively titled Dan.
Hart said her University class schedule would be difficult to balance with a mini-tour that the band was trying to schedule with Danger Bob. She said touring should not be a problem after she graduated in May.
The Playthings' Jaybowl performance will be recorded for the Channel 6 program *Fusion*. The band will be one of three featured artists on the show, which airs at 6:30 p.m. Monday, 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, and 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, said Neil Rasmussen, the show's producer.
Celtic band returns to Lawrence
By Tamara Miller

St. Patrick's Day has come and gone, but the strains of Celtic beats and violins will continue tonight at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St.
Chicago-based band The Drovers is co-headlining with the Lawrence band Einstein Electric. Tickets are $4 for people 21 and older and $5 for anyone younger. Tickets will be sold at the door, which opens at 8:00 p.m., said Jacki Becker, Pipeline Productions promoter.
Becker said this was the second time The Drovers had played in Lawrence. The band opened for Leftover Salmon last year at The Bottleneck.
"We liked them with Leftover Salmon and wanted a chance to get them to play again," Becker said.
The Drovers will play before Einstein Electric, a classic-jam rock band, Becker said. Although the
two bands play different music, the bands attract the same type of crowd.
The Drovers also have had two soundtrack appearances. The band appeared in the film, *Blink*, starring Madeline Stowe and played on the soundtrack.
"There's this one scene where Madeline Stowe plays the violin in the band," Buhar said.
The band also played on the Back-
draft soundtrack, Suhar said.
"The huge thing about Chicago is the Irish mayor," he said. "I think they just wanted to capture that Irish-Chicago feel."
Although Celtic folk music is not a common occurrence at The Bottleneck, Lawrence has an appreciation for this type of music, Becker said.
"Celtic music comes to Lawrence; they just don't always play at The Bottleneck," she said.
