i was going to ask if you made it out.  I thought I saw you by the bar, to the right side of the room (facing the stage) but then I remembered I haven't seen you in person in like 10 years, so I got seconds thoughts of asking a stranger "are you kosmo?".

I like most of Miri's bands, and the solo stuff is pleasant, but I don't actively listen that much.  Still, fun live...her drummer was a blast to watch.  Plus, I loved the Green Day cover...definitely took me most of the song to really recognize it.

Second time seeing Dim Wizard, and I liked it more than the first.  Again, I don't know how much I'd ever listen to their albums, but as an opener they're a lot of fun.

Perennial is just a force of nature, man.  Perfect set too...10 songs in like 50 minutes.  Seems short to type it out like that, but I honestly don't know how they'd even have the energy for another song.  Kosmo, I recall you saying something about the drummer being the secret weapon, and I'd only disagree to say it's not a secret.  They beat the shit out of their kit.

This is literally the secret forum handshake for IRL sightings.

Now I realize a lot of smaller shows in spaces like the Red Room will only run vocals and likely keyboards through the PA and then the guitar players rely on their own amps. With that said it seems like that setup works better for some bands/genres then others.

dunno, but that setup works better for some audience members than others... i guess the benefit would be the possibility of "choose your own mix": not enough guitar?  move closer to the stage!  need less vocal?  get away from (or to the side of) the PA!

As I recall after Perennial set on the main stage, my comment to someone was that their drummer was likely playing with other bands as he was doing a little ska here, if memory serves me jazz inspired as well.  Friday he was just a force of nature… 

For Miri’s set since it was just a trio the vocals were fine, but even backed away from the stage the vocal fix wasn’t quite right for Dim Wizard but the band and the mosh pit were having a blast.

I've got the receipts

Perennial were up first and if you are going to go on stage might as well go all out... Plenty of antics, lots of banter and some heavy heavy riffs ... the drummer was definitely their secret weapon

Doesn't have quite the intrigue of Dorothy.

I was clarifying why I considered Perennial’s drummer their secret weapon

and I was just clarifying you were 100% right.  That's stuck in my  head since that show...obviously you couldn't have the whole without all of the parts, but man, even they seemed shocked by their playing.
