Wednesday I went to The Summit for The Entrance Band, Brainbow, and Lights. Yeah, I pretty much love Brainbow (below). I was looking forward to Lights more than the The Entrance Band. The few Lights recordings I heard sounded pretty good and intriguing. On the other hand, all but one Entrance Band recording I had heard seemed like tried and tired late 60's garage psychedelia.
Live it all reversed. Lights started off quite poppy and cheesy then went serious and a capela. I guess both songs could be called novelty. From there there wasn't anything too special and I stopped paying attention for the most part.
The Entrance Band ended being the intriguing band after all. I could do without most of the vocal, and sometimes the guitar playing was a little too noodle-y, jammy and aimless. But the rhythm section was solid. it reminded me a bit of locals Pretty Weapons who kinda combined me of the bluesier early/mid 70's Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath.
Friday, after an extended 2-3 phase happy hour at the new thai place, Basil, I made it to Skully's for RJD2. Sorry, it was too crowded for me to even want try to get close to the stage, let alone take pictures. I will say thanks to some DoneWaiting staffers for getting me and a couple friends on the guest list. Oh, and thanks to whoever or whatever meant my tab was waived a the end of the night. RJD2 live and a few drinks only cost me an easy tip.
Saturday I bussed up to Rumba for the Lydia Loveless CD release show. I got there durung Todd May's (above) set. I never paid much attention to Todd's most well-known/respected band, the Lilybandits, back in the day. But these days I am paying attention. There's some strong tasteful alt country, americana and midwest rock going one here. SOme might compare them to the Replacements, but not being much of a Replacements band, I usually avoid that comparison for bands I like ... but I can't deny it being there either.
I caught a bit of Micah from Two Cow Garage, but truth is my ear was bent and distracted during his second song until half-way through his last song. Somewhere in the middle it went from him solo to Todd May's band backing him.
Lydia Loveless (above) was on next. I often say Lydia is a young local country crooner wise beyond her years, be it booze, brawls or boys. I think the is was the first time I'd seen here with anything more than her dad on drums backing her. The band tightened up her sound musically, but her vocals & lyrics were a little buried and less of the star of the show than they usually are.

This past week's Local Pop Radio Hour features 5 songs from Lydia Loveless who celebrated a new CD this past Saturday. There's some nonsense about someone having peaches poured on his. I'm betting that's Peach District related, but I guess I'll have to listen to be sure.

It's been a while since I've called out some other ways to get yer Cringe fix. Most of these I/Cringe have been using for some time. Foursquare is the newest addition. I try to check-in to Foursquare every time I'm at a show, bar or restaurant. I'm even "the mayor" at a couple places.

Friday I went to the big Haiti Benefit at Ravari, but was without camera. Saturday I wandered to Skully's a bit late, but still caught both Curse Icon (above) and Razorbliss (below) for the first time.
