Enjoy a little of my long weekend down time and take a look at a few choice concerts I've seen these past few months but never had a chance to post about. Happy Memorial Day!
Matt and I were really excited for this show. One of our all time favourite New York acts were playing alongside a band I had wanted to see for quite a while. I arrived to the venue slightly ahead of schedule and called Matt from outside.
"Hi, I'm here. Where are you?"
"A few blocks away getting a slice. Is it crazy there?"
::insert crickets chirping::
"Sorry, I'll be there soon."
A free show in Brooklyn on a Thursday night sponsored by amNEWYORK and not a soul around but me, the bored looking bartender and the boys from Locksley reading a newspaper? Shocking people, shocking.
Well anyway, Locksley were great as always; one of those bands whom you hope you aren't screaming into the wind about.
Also playing the ill fated gig were Undisputed Heavyweights, a band I had been meaning to see for a while.
I suppose I had a predisposition to like Undisputed Heavyweights. On a warm spring day, driving around with the windows open while singing to Sinatra for me, is near perfection. 60's style lounge music is just my thing and the Casey Shea led Undisputed bring the lounge lizard back to life with an updated flair. Their smart, poppy music, that makes you smile as your hips uncontrollably swing back and forth, is punctuated perfectly by Shea's cheeky audience banter.
