I know I must complain a lot about the weather, but man, it was cold last night. Daytime it was OK, but as soon as the sun went away, it turned into a freezer.
Now, Now Every Children (myspace) was the headliner, and there's really nothing ironic about their name - they are really young. Whoever said they were twenty-three is clearly smoking crack, they seem 18 and under. But that's OK, they seem to handle themselves on stage like pros... and judging from their tour stories, it would seem that they've done a world tour.
Singer Cacie explained why their new keyboard was all the way back near the drums, like either (1) they misplaced the KORG somewhere on tour or (2) the KORG ran away. I didn't get the impression that the Korg was stolen.
Total Babe (myspace) seems like a great band to open up for Now, Now, since they're probably in the same age bracket. They started their setlist with my favorite, "Shape Up", followed by most of their EP. There was a Velvet Underground cover, which I couldn't remember what song it was - it wasn't one of the more memorable VU songs ("I'll Be Your Mirror", "Chelsea Girls", "I'm Waiting for My Man", "There She Goes Again", or "Venus in Furs").
There was a long tune-up, and they ended with a new song, I think I heard "We Were Just Breathing" or something like that.
Gold Motel (official/myspace) is the latest project from Hush Sound's Greta Salpeter. She seems really confident on stage, starting off with "Make Me Stay" from her new EP, followed by a duet with her guitarist called "Stealing the Moonlight". Somewhere in the set, she even did a Hush Sound song, "Hurricane"... overall a really solid set, with even a Supremes cover, "You Can't Hurry Love", thrown in there for good measure.
