I didn't stick around after the Nighties -- a day in the sun, and rain, drinking beer was too much. Oh yeah, and being yelled at by the bartender at Velvet Lounge.
Really enjoyed the Nighties. Met the lead guitarist, Chris, at the bar and mentioned that they had good buzz on the 9:30 club forum, which got me to the show.
I started talking to him because I was curious if the swarm of people at the bar around 11:00 were there for the Nighties, for another band, or just for Velvet Lounge. And he's the guy I decided to ask, "what brought you here tonight." He was a bit sheepish because he had to respond that he's in *two* of the bands playing that night. Too funny.
I will definitely be a Nighties regular. Was a lot of fun, lot of energy, good stuff.
Saw Paul, the singer, at the New Pornographers show last night. I think the Nighties show was better (though Neko Case rules).
