Sometimes I feel irrelevant or out-of-step singing my generally
serious and heartfelt songs with my band for people who'd rather
hear covers or party music. And then I see Slobberbone play their
asses off last night for a smallish (but very enthusiastic) crowd of
30 or so, wearing their hearts on their sleeves and Brent singing
every word like it's his last, and it makes me proud to at least try.
Fuck irony.
First half of show with acoustic guitar, banjo, and fiddle; second
half rawk. Both halves equally excellent, don't miss them.
Excellent new song inspired by the thought that there is one guy
who paints "Trust Jesus" on every highway overpass in America
(actually, all the new songs were promising). Cool covers of
Powderfinger and Breakin' The Law. Loud, raw.
Split Lip Rayfield were good at times, got sort of monotonous after
a while. Ironically, their best songs were the slower, quieter ones.
Hating my job even more so than usual after a show like that,
Dave
