Metropolitan on Sunday

[Bags]

From Merge website...I agree with the description.
 
 You can catch them in Baltimore on Thursday!
 
 03.11 * Baltimore, MD * The Talking Head * w/The Oranges Band & Palomar
 
 One of the most gratifying experiences at a record label is finding a young band full of verve, energy and great songs, whose debut album is sure to excite fans and the industry alike. We here at Merge think that The Rosebuds are one of those bands that people are going to be excited about for years to come. The Rosebuds are a trio who got their start in Wilmington NC, when Ivan Howard and Kelly Crisp met in college and decided to combine their love for music and performing and start a band. Combining influences ranging from late 60â??s pop to mid 80â??s new wave to early 90s indie-rock, The Rosebuds create melodies and infectious hooks that are instantly timeless. The Rosebuds Make Out was produced by local legend Brian Paulson (Wilco, Beck, Squirrel Nut Zippers).

I started off directly in front of the guitar player for the first few songs of the Rosebuds' set.  I moved back because I didn't like having my head 2 feet from the speaker.  I was over against the bookcase for most of Metropolitan's set.

Damn! So close yet so ....... ugh.
 
 And here I was the one who really wanted to see The Rosebuds.
 
 Downtown Baltimore in territory that I refuse to walk alone at night by myself. Though it could be worse. They could be at The Vault, which is deep downtown and even worse night time traveling. If this were the 80s, I'd think nothing of it but that city has changed so much for the worse. Stopped going to clubs downtown years and years ago because way too many people were getting jumped and a large majority of people were having their cars vandalized.
 
 Too bad it's not The Ottobar.
