LSE
well, last night guerilla grass played lightnin’ salvage. they are good. there weren’t many people back there experiencing it, but it was a nice time nonetheless. there is now the story of the guy last night who went up and tipped the band 20 bucks. then he sat down and listened for 25 minutes. then as he was leaving he stopped and told the band how good they were, even though he couldn’t always hear the vocals. he handed them a hundred dollars. let me tell you, something like that gets talked about a lot and the band was stoked too, as you can imagine.
tonight, at LSE, the klezmer kats were back to their old tricks, packing out lightnin’ salvage with fun, high intensity music that makes you feel like you’re dizzy and in a dream at the same time. when they play, i feel like LSE is finally living up to it’s potential, like they are the quintessential junk shop band (with due respect to blitzbergen of course.) people are dancing, eating pizzas and salads, kids are playing. it’s surreal.
october 3rd will be our first late night show in months. it should be a cool fall evening with some really nice laid back bands. mark your calendar because it’s a wednesday night and it will be awesome. show starts at 10pm.
some of you might have seen the alligator ran an opinion piece about satchel’s. i responded to the writer without even imagining that they might print my letter to him but they did. which is fine but i might have actually taken a little more time to put together a response had i thought they would print it. silly me, it only made sense to print my response the next day. annyway, i’m sure it is good advertising for the students. we do see more and more of them out there. we get all sorts of clientelle. locals, working class, upper and middle class, black, white, asian, students, very very old and very very young at our place. maybe every place is that way but ours seems especially so. that is probably my favorite thing about the place, the diversity of our customers.
i got things to do besides write here all night. i’ll talk to you later.
