Last Second Thoughts

Jack

well, i sit here, watching people fire paintballs at Johnny Knoxville's nuts- yeah, that's right, baby - my Jackass Vol. 2 DVD is here!!!! i see that jealousy on your face already! and the other CDs i ordered came, too - i've got such a backlog of CDs in my listening queue.

anyway, christine and i went out and saw a most excellent show last night at the Old Town Theatre - Laura Tsaggaris, Cerulean Groove, and Lianna.

we came in for the end of laura T's set - unfortunately, i didn't get to see the acoustic guitar pyrotechnics i know she can bring - she was playing more subdued pieces, with a bit of angst. i'm curious to see how they translate to full band on her new CD when i get it...

i must say, i really hadn't fully realized what a good voice Laura Cerulli has until i downloaded one of her songs several weeks ago - powerful, rich, and it draws you in. CG is aptly named, generating rhythmic grooves that make you tap your feet for Laura C's strong vocals. this was a different iteration than the version of CG that i saw about a year ago at Common Grounds.

and this was my first time seeing Lianna, w/ the splendor of a band - damn, they put on an energetic show. they're extremely tight, often using three-part harmonies. lianna's strumming and vocals give an energy to the music, and Arch's lead guitar work definitely is some of the best i've seen in the area. plus he can sing, to boot.

i'm looking forward to seeing all three acts again...
