Last weekend

It was a blast! A ton of people came out on Saturday night at the Townehouse, perhaps more than ever before! It was awesome to see Dead Flowers play again. Even though two of their members were sick, they still gave it their all. Matt Ralph was Mick Jagger in snowmobile boots.

Not many people came to the all-ages show unfortunately, but it was still super fun. For once I didn't order too much pizza, and witnessing I Was an Ion's debut performance was a thing of beauty. They are playing a show next Thursday at the Townehouse with Life Size Dream (Formerly High Deaf).



Our friend Brandon Grey took some great pictures at the Myths show (though there are only a few of them). Here is the link to his flickr.

A special place in heaven is reserved for Mule Skinner. These two guys were awesome to hang out with all weekend and rocked the living shit out of every gig they played. Matt Davis' family was super nice, and hopefully Hotel Mule Skinner becomes a regular place to catch an underground show in Niagara Falls.

I'd also like to mention the band Spooky Scarecrows, with whom we played in Niagara. Their set featured ghosts, drums, a shirtless, scarf-wearing viking, trombones, confetti, synth and sax. Despite the fact that they never practice, they played a lively and powerful set at Hotel Mule Skinner. It must be nice to play in a band that doesn't need to practice. I will post some pictures soon of this show.

In short, even though I was running on about 4 hours sleep on Saturday night, it was an amazing feeling to get the audience response that we did at the Townehouse. To see people lined up seven or eight rows back is incredibly gratifying. In addition, Lightmares sounded amazing at the Townehouse! It was probably the best set I've ever seen them play (and I've seen them play a lot).
