[from Austin, TX] we
were lucky enough to see their last-show-ever (and their 5th show
ever) – and all because of a girl: the leader singer and guitarist is moving to
follow his woman (who filmed the entire show) - the bassist and the drummer
work with ShellFish, and we were regaled with the band’s history the night
before by the bassist who learned to play bass just in time for their first
show – despite all this, they were a just-fine 90s alt rock, post-grunge sort
of band – they had a blues stomper song too – they wrote several of their songs
– they played a Roky Erikson cover (“I Walked with a Zombie”) – most charming
were the tongue-in-cheek comments of the lead singer – he managed to unite the
band and the audience (most of whom he probably knew) into finding all of their
flubs endearing and being thrilled that we were able to see the last show if
this outstanding – they re-started 3 songs, the bassist screwed up his run one
time, and then pulled out notes to do his spoken word part, but that was all
part of the hilarity
