Last night's Velvet show was a great way to spend a Thursday Night. I missed the first band, but caught the rest. The Vacant Lots played some boogie psych as a two piece with a way young looking drummer. They had some long ass songs. Screen Vinyl Image were next and were great as always. I heard a couple tracks that I didnt recognize and loved them. Finally Spectrum took the stage. It wasnt as late as some predicted, but it was late enough that I had to leave before they were finished. I was very impressed with what I did see, and now I need to go get some more Spectrum music for my collection. I thought it was a great set up, with Sonic Boom on a shit Yamaha keyboard, pedals, and a guitar (which I didnt know the kind, Looked a bit like a weird shaped Mustang with 4 single coil pick ups), a bass player, a twelve string player and a drummer. Im glad I was able to go and the atmosphere at the place was nice as always. A bit more packed than other shows I have been to there, but not by much. Also, as a rock poster collector, I thought it was great that Sonic signed all of their beautiful screen printed posters.
Im still confused as to the whole MGMT collab. It seems like even an odder pairing after seeing him live.
