Weekend Catchup:
Friday: Soccer Mommy was very enjoyable at Ottobar. Sold out show, but under-attended so there was some room. Caught up with Vas was a bonus.
Saturday: Bob Mould Band was really great and weird. Bob's guitar was malfunctioning from the start, and he decided to do the first song without guitar and stalked the stage HardCore style(?)...the guitar continued to be intermittent, and he soldiered through with Wurster and Narducy doing their usual excellent rhythm section thing. Kestrels opening were good too. Caught up with college buddy Shahid was a bonus.
Added Content: This was my first time back at the 930 since New Pornos show November 2019. Was really great to be back. It was not sold out, but was well attended. Also, there is now a whole foods very close by the clarb. And the official parking lot was moved another few blocks up 9th street, and is pretty badly paved. The old 930 lot is now excavated as the foundation/underground parking for new condos.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is a 5 show, 4 venue, 3 jurisdiction (Morrison Colorado, Baltimore Maryland, Washington DC) show week.
