First off: Come tonight to the Red Room to hear me sing the first songs I ever wrote! Me and Jake and Ross and Jack and Dave and a bunch of other people!
Let's get back into the habit of writing about shows! Let's, shall we?
Last night was the first post-dissolution set for us (me? us?). At Kelly's Olympian, which we had just played as a full band a few months ago. This was part of PDXPOSE, a new series of bands + art stuff. We (I? we?) played with Minmae and Southerly, who both put in solid rock out sets. I (we? I?), on the other hand, mostly went quiet -- well, except for the songs where I screamed. The art, by Dan Williams and especially Heidi Elise Wirz, was as treat.
My set most consisted of songs I (we? I?) never could pull off with a full band (Revolutionary's Love Song, Chickens) or which I wanted to see if I could do without the band (Omaha). You can, for at least a while, grab an mp3 of the show, which has a few moments of SUDDENLY BECOMING LOUD and features a lot of string buzz but is, you know, listenable enough. N.B. Do not listen to it if you are my mother, maybe. This is my advice.
1. Omaha
2. Admonishment
3. The Lothario's Lamentation
4. I'm Easy Because I Care
5. The Brown, Brown World (March)
6. Houston
7. Chickens
8. Tattoo
9. The Revolutionary's Love Song
