the bangles : hero takes a fall
First chick band that I thought was great. Listen to those harmonies and that lead guitar sound. Before they “sold out” (which they themselves admit) they had a great thing going. In 1985 I hung out pre and post show with them in a bar in Virginia Beach – still a night to remember. Susanna is still doing it with Matthew Sweet – Rain, Different Drum, Cinnamon Girl, You’re So Vain, Maggie May – check out “Under The Covers”.
zooey for the win
“She & Him” video premier of “In The Sun” – Zooey hula hoops! Stick a fork in me.
lissie : little lovin'
Lissie is one of my favorite new voices.

Hope you don’t mind my cross pollination … Here’s a short review:
“WOW – Is all I can say. If their show last night indicates the way the rest of the tour is going to go…then watch out! I’ve seen the band perform a few times now, but last night they had an energy that I have never seen before. … We are heading down to Atlanta tonight for the second show and I can’t wait. We hung out with everyone (but Scotty) after the show by their bus and they were all is such high spirits. Benny even “skipped” their band meeting to be our entertainer for the evening – as he called it. I could say so-SO much more, but I will just leave it with two words: EXCITMENT, AMAZMENT!
Hope everyone on here gets a chance to catch (at least) one of their shows on this tour. Even if they are the opener, they sure don’t play like one !”
I thought that Grace Potter was the headliner on this tour. Who is the headliner? I saw GPN in Norfolk, CT and it was one of the best concerts I’d seen during the year (http://www.archive.org/details/GPN2009-08-08.Infinityhall.Aud). I do not see how the band is doing itself justice by playing a 10 set playlist. I am going to see them in NYC on Saturday and while I love their music, I will feel cheated if they do not play Stop The Bus.
Nick,
GPN is billed as a “co-headliner” on most dates. They are last in NYC, Boston and Philly.
Thank you!!!
THURSDAY …the new H.O.B … Boston .. will be rocking!
haha, no problem with stealing my review
I’m happy to share…I just put up a review of the Atlanta show too if you’d like to steal that one as well feel free. I didn’t write as much about either show that they truly deserve but all anyone needs to know is I think they are coming out sounding better than ever and their chemistry on stage is truly sick (in a great way)!
