Last night was something else entirely different. Over-eager dudes rocked out with cheesy slices of the 'classic' variety for 2 1/2 hours. Cover bands can suck.
It's particularly painful when there are many fine bands in Madison playing cover material that are terrific: Shakey, The Gomers, Bon Squad and some others who manage to breath new life into it and remind you why the stuff they perform is still relevant, still rocks.
Steve from Gomers freaking NAILS the original lines and then takes it up a notch or two. That and manage to play the rhythm parts and carry the song when they are a trio. Man, there are so many amazing people in this town!
Starting the day with Dub Trio, the best cleaning solution for classic rock residue. Ready for my day off and mr. sun is showing it's bad self.
2nd jam of the week with the trio of delight and versatility tonight. the P_Soupers have sent indications that Saturday is on. Drumming 3 times in a week, what a treat!
Message in the facebook hopper resolved a mystery that had been hanging around since the summer about a gift that didn't quite get delivered.
Nice lunch at Harmony (I've fallen off the veggie wagon hard) - great food and Sam's wife coincidentally came by with a friend while I was there. Other than that - 3 retired gentlemen playing cards at the table by the window were the only patrons. The cook made a great lunch and passed the time waiting for orders trucking between the kitchen and bar with buckets of prep materials, wearing an "I've lost my dog" look. It's prolly similar to the look on my puss at about 2:30AM last night.
