Why?

I saw them a few years ago…they were fine…it did get a bit weird when they played Hold Your Head Up….also Bluntstone seemed a bit creepy/nervous…

If only it wasnt $65…


the cool thing about that place is one would have a chance to say hello.. get them to sign a record….


the bad thing is it can be hard getting up there on a week night during rush hour…kind of tense…

i'm not a big fan of sit down venues but i've seen some good ones there

pete best!
lou donaldson (this was a special one)
buckwheat zydeco
allen toussaint (such a small stage and even though i was in the front row center table i just could hardly see because his piano blocked my view
nellie mckay


$65 is a lot…particularly for an act hitting the area nonstop…weren't they just at the howard?

They've been on the same endless mediocre tour for about the past ten years. 
Colin still has some decent pipes, but he's got a serious Mr. Burns vibe going on.  And Rod is aptly named…the guy is a tool.  And whoever they hired to play guitar (if it's the same guy as a while back) is not even close to cutting it.

Believe me…I LOVE this band's music.  But for me at least, they are just driving it into the fucking ground.
That's funny but true…I saw them at the State Theatre in Falls Church in 2004 and Arthur Lee/Love was the opening band (!)  After about 5 Zombies tunes, I'd had enough and went out in the lobby - Arthur, Johnny Echols and the other guys (Baby Lemonade) were hanging out and signing stuff.  All cool guys, even Arthur was friendly.  Love's set was fantastic - most of Forever Changes and other favorites. You'd be better off just listening to your original pressing of 'odessey & oracle' and avoiding the traffic, etc.

The new Lady album on Truth and Soul is amazing and currently on repeat.  A most amazing buffet of soul styles.

Wow what a day for NEW music… First listen to the fantastic Lady album several times, and now streaming the new Alice Smith.  Eight years in making thanks to major label interference..

Its hard for me to have an informed opinion after listening to something once or twice…when i listen to new music i often want to think its great but with time often realize it wasn't really all that? I find it takes time to really appreciate whether something is great…..i have to go back to it ovver time and still see if it keeps me engaged.. i can't stream something once, without even knowing who played on it, the circumstances, in some cases the lyrics- and know if its any good..it takes time and you hae to put in a bit of effort..

the next album i'm going to put in that effort for is the new david bowie….

^ I tend to agree with Hutch on this though I don't usually get all that intensly involved with every release. Although, what I find sometimes happens is that if an album hits me strong in the beginning, I'll tire of it easily over time. The ones that surprise me are the ones that don't grab me on the first or second listen but after a few, I finally get it and that release turns into something mighty powerful. Much stronger even than those that hit me right off the bat. Of course, this isn't true for every album. Some stay strong as well as many just not appealling to me ever. It's those growers that eventually leave me amazed for a long time and have me questioning what I was missing upon early listens.


Lady - Lady

Still completely blown away by this album
Black Swan Lane will release their new album, "The Last Time In Your Light", on May 6.
