Saturday, June 25; Burt's Tiki Lounge (21 and over): According to a press release on their website it appears that “new and improved” local band the Ya Ya Boom Project! have transformed themselves into some sort of marketable appliance. The band, according to the press release “now comes with ten optional speeds, a grinder function, multiple attachments and a designer plastic encasement.” The release also says “the Ya Ya Boom Project! spices up any room in your house. It comes in three of this season’s most fashionable colors: tan, a slightly darker shade of tan, and a slightly pinker shade of tan.” Despite this confusing turn of events, and what would seem like a setback to many, the Ya Ya Boom Project! seem to have embraced their new, more mechanical (not to mention deliciously tan) identity and are releasing a new album titled Pink Insides. In celebration of this event, the band will perform at Burt's Tiki Lounge this Saturday, and at the Outpost on July 9. Now, despite being encased in plastic and all-around less anthropomorphic, The Ya Ya Boom Project! still runs on electricity and will still satisfy any urge to move to Flamenco-infused grooves.
