Concert news: Rihanna, Cee Lo Green, Wye Oak, Lower Dens
Take our your ratty agenda books, here's some just-announced shows:
Wye Oak, on tour with new album "Civilian," will play a mini-set at Sound Garden on March 8.
The band had previously announced a full set at Washington's Black Cat with Lower Dens.
That foursome - who just released a seven-inch, "Batman/Dear Pretty Baby" (hear it here) - also announced a show of their own. They will perform at the Ottobar on March 6.
Wye Oak tickets are $12, and Lower Dens are $8. Both are on sale now.
In other concert news, Rihanna announced today that Cee Lo Green would open for her on the Loud tour, including the 1st Mariner show on June 4. Those tickets start at $69.75.
And Bruno Mars and Janelle Monae, fresh off their performance at the Grammys - the one segment I actually saw - announced a joint tour, to be called Hooligans in Wondaland. No dates have been announced yet.

While we're adding things to our "agenda books", there will be a Music and Memorial gathering tonight for Ray Schuler, lead singer of The Mayan Factor, tonight. Ray passed away in the last few weeks.
It will be at The Point in Fell's Point at 6pm on with local musicians playing around 9pm.

Where can we find Eutaw st. history?

All the Eutaw Street History lives in my head and spans the years of 1997-2004(ish) and includes entries on The Bank/Funnel/Bank/Vault, Da "B" Spot, The Tunnel, The Whole, The Source of Uncertainty, several volumes of the food found at Massey's, the 7-11 and subsequent fake 7-11, and many volumes of the many bands the lived in the H&H building, and the other spots around there.

Sad news about Ray Schuler. RIP
ESH,
Do you know what caused his death at such a young age? Or is that question too personal?

Ray Ray lost a long battle with drug addiction, unfortunately.
