Let me start with a recap of our last gig in Tacoma. We had a blast at the New Frontier Lounge and we appreciate all those who came out. The best part of it really was the crowd. Many people told us after the gig that they thought that was our best performance so far. I was a little surprised to hear that but the truth is, the crowd was responsible as much as we were. Having y'all up there shaking your groove thang made it way more fun for us, and thus, a better show all around.
The surprise of the night was Brotherhood of the Black Squirrel. I wasn't sure what to expect when they came on but I was pleased by the gritty bluesy-ness of their guitar player, whose name escapes me. The sound reminded me a bit of Jack White and I like it. Right on, Brotherhood.
Legend of Bigfoot rolls deep, that's for sure. Standing room only during their set. I guess the whole soundtrack to 2001: A Space Odyssey thing appeals to the Tacoma folk. Which brings us to our surprise for you: We'll now be performing every show with Requiem For a Dream playing in the background. We knew you'd like that.
Ah, I cannot forget the Horde and the Harem. First, their drummer couldn't make it (and we all know how pivotal drummers are), second, Ryan's keyboard was on the fritz! But you know what? THE SHOW MUST GO ON!! Honestly, I enjoyed their set anyway. Their 4 part harmonies held it together and it just goes to show how talented those guys are. I saw them again the other night at the Tractor with the full get up and they rocked it. They're coming along real nice and I recommend you be on the look out for them.
I also want to thank you twice if you came out to the New Frontier because we raised $84 for pih.org, a healthcare provider in Haiti. It doesn't sound like much but it could go along way in one of the world's poorest countries. If you couldn't make it out and you still want in on the benefit concert action check out this facebook invite for a cool event going on at the Crocodile in Belltown in honor of Molly Hightower who passed away in the earthquake.
Don't forget next Saturday is another show at the Redline. As always, Ladies Night means $2 wells from 9-12 and no cover. We got a band by the name of MOs Funnel opening up at 9 so come early, get yo-self some drinks, and enjoy some rockin' piano (literally) with us.
Chicka-chicka-yea!
