I guess it's been a while since I wrote any reports of performances, much less one where I see a band. I still get out — although less often than I used to — and tonight was one of those cases. I went to The Bug Jar<\/a><\/strong>\"MySpace<\/a> (219 Monroe Ave.<\/a>) and got there a bit early so I had a chance to catch up with the folks in The Lobster Quadrille<\/a><\/strong>\"MySpace<\/a>. As it turns out, they were up first — there was some confusion about who was when, as it was Auld Lang Syne<\/strong>\"MySpace<\/a>'s show (so they got top billing) and Township<\/a><\/strong>\"MySpace<\/a> came in from Boston.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, The Lobster Quadrille<\/a><\/strong>\"MySpace<\/a> did a great set. I found myself particularly mesmerized by Love is Cold. I've mentioned it hundreds of times [okay, for each of the last 29 of their shows I posted]<\/em>, but they do a great rendition of satirical gospel with all of 6 [or is it 7?]<\/em> people on stage performing. Lead singer Solomon commented afterward that he felt the set was a bit melancholic feeling; although I think that \"melancholic\" suits them quite well.<\/p>\n

Next up was Township<\/a><\/strong>\"MySpace<\/a> who I really enjoyed as well. They do a crisp, fresh version of classic rock. I even bought their CD which I've been enjoying as well. Finishing up was Auld Lang Syne<\/strong>\"MySpace<\/a> who I've now finally had the chance to hear. The night was getting a bit long for me, but I stayed enough to find they played a great heavy-hitting proto-rock that I'll likely seek out in future shows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
