March 2, 20251 yr I was fortunate to finally see Gary Clark Jr on his own vs a multi-band format (jam off type things). So impressive and the venue was intimate enough to really see him do his stuff. He had Grace Bowers & Hodge Podge open. Hard to believe the lady is now only 18...just wow. Best show I've seen in a good while. HS
March 15, 20251 yr On this past Sunday we saw Kodo during their tour and they were incredible. Taiko drums in a symphony hall are something else.
March 23, 20251 yr How can they decently play any instrument on their knees? The left hand wrist posture is absolutely unwearable.

April 13, 20251 yr We finally got to see a local band that hadn't played local in a couple of years or so after they grew quite popular. Khruangbin...very eclectic, groovy music. Great show. Helado Negro opened. Pretty cool act I was not aware of previously. HS
April 16, 20251 yr Daniel Donato at the Caverns in Pelham Tn on Saturday. https://archive.org/details/DanielDonato?query=date%3A2025-04-12*&tab=collection
April 26, 20251 yr The Illegals https://www.townofrossca.gov/recreation/page/live-common-april-25-2025 The illegals in Ross are a eagles cover band, not the help. They may want to change their name in light of recent enforcement. They did play hotel California, however.
April 27, 20251 yr Tonight's Culture https://pa.marin.edu/blog/music-marin-chamber-players-forced-flee Educational, where we learned about the irony of fleeing Nazi Germany only to be later denounced to the house committee on Un-American activities because you were the wrong kind of anti-fascist. Next task to look up some movies with soundtracks by korngold
May 1, 20251 yr Got to see my favorite band the Chameleons once again. Met up with a few elderly folks like myself, and our conversations were focused around our ailments as old-folks-discussion SHOULD be! 😄 The band were also wrapped in dark Goth bands - they were the 3rd of 4 bands. I don't mind a little bit, but even the two opening bands got to be too much for me. After the Chameleons played, I went home; the headliner (Twin Tribes) are VERY Goth and not what I cared to hear. I e-chatted with one of the other cranky old people yesterday, and he and I agreed that the sound and the band's performance was not quite as good as it has been in the past. But I also watched the set with another couple, and while we agreed the sound wasn't the best we just let loose and thoroughly enjoyed the show. Hit the "fuck I needed this" spot after a bunch of crazy work weeks. Also got to meet someone I've known through FB; s/he (she is transitioning to he) was running the merch table. So despite not being perfect, was a great time and just what the doctor of sanity ordered! Edited May 1, 20251 yr by skullguise
