Teabag, The Bitter End and Pianos!
a bit of recap for this weekends music
Teabag's open mic was very.... interesting... i arrived a few acts before cindy went on, and was treated to three comedians, a karaoke number and a set of anime music covers. apparently i just missed an (air) guitar-playing beatles cover singer (lip syncher).
cindy's set went well, and the crowd definitely enjoyed seeing someone more polished get up there.
later that evening, went to see some people at the Bitter End in the west village, and it turned out that there was some solid music happening there. i got there as a rock band called Sirsy was playing. only caught the end of their set, but more than enough to want to see a full show sometime. they won't be back till the end of march.
the next act up was called Days of Wild, who are apparently at the Bitter End a lot, every week or two. big band, believe they topped out at 10 people on stage at once (big stage, too). very tight funk band, lots of good energy, they sounded great and were a huge amount of fun to watch.
saturday, went to go see The Fatales at Pianos with Cindy, who's done some work down in DC with their lead singer. so her recommendation of the band was a bit biased, but turned out to be well placed. they played a great set of thick rock, their CD sounds very well put together, and all in all i think these guys will be about quite a bit. their stuff is sort of Radiohead-esque, using a good bit of keyboard and computer to add extra layers to the normal band setup. the headliner, Benzo's, had a similar type of sound, and started off strong. i wasn't able to stay for the full set though, so would have to see em again to make up my mind.
