That was a fine night of music. Church opened and I\'d never seen them before (though the dudes in the band look familiar, maybe I have?) and they were a pleasant surprise. I represent the liberal, sophisticated redneck, so I dig that shit
Then Rolla came up, and I wasn\'t sure if they were going to be good until they busted out a nasty "Breathe" by Pink Floyd. After that their whole set was tight and it was clear they had some real talent. Said they were a new band? If so, look out for these guys once they actually get some practice!
Then Breakfast hit the stage and I wasted no time getting right up front and center. I remember looking back at the tables behind the floor and thinking more people need to get up off their seats--- maybe they don\'t know what\'s about to hit them?
Of course, as soon as I saw Tim pick up Adrian\'s Strat, I knew they\'d be gettin serious. (Tim this guitar suits your style best man!!)
Dig was a great song to open a show and get me loosened up and get my sea legs for the 6 or 7 surfers on acid (jager, malibu, coconut juice, yummm) the waiter had convinced me to drink earlier in the night. Then a split Dig > No Regret > Dig which I did, indeed, Dig, because having drove almost 3 hours by myself after my buddies stood me up to go night skiing, I was definitely in the "Living with no regret" mentality.
Next thing I remember was the Psygn which I enjoyed thoroughly. Love Lake!!! As if my night wasn\'t already made.... Swim at the love lake!
But the best part of the 1st set had to be the sick Score, dare I say the sickest Score of all time, with the special guest guitarist from Rolla. Y\'all gotta check this out when the audio becomes available.. it was a bona fide guitar duel between two serious shredders.
2nd set is where the boys bring home the bacon, and after that 1st one I was pumped. Cheers to the groovy chicks to the right and left of me, keepin\' my front and center zone a pleasant place to get down
.. and Cheers to GFunk (nice to meet ya) -- it\'s nice to see people having as good a time as I do at these hoedowns!
Taboo or not Taboot called for my patented "stomping-in-place Taboot" dance. There is no way around it. One of the fine ladies to my left was showing off her kung-fu skills at this point... good stuff!
Food for Thought... hahahahaha. Why not stick a Honey Butter in the middle of that shit! Why not, indeed. Honey Butter isn\'t my favorite Breakfast song--yet-- but it grew on me a good bit last night.
PUPPETRY!!
GOOD THINGS!!
BUQUEBUS!!
Hey, if they wanna play sick versions of all three of the songs I was secretly hoping to hear last night, that\'s cool. By the time Buquebus hit I was burnin some serious calories. I think it wasn\'t finished though, like missing that last 2 minute ragin\' solo. It was still one of the best Buquebus I ever heard though. Maybe the best one I\'ve witnessed in person.
I don\'t really remember Night of the Thumpasaurus Peoples... I do believe that it occured though
Hot buttered tuna toast from start to finish!
