Nov 30 : Laser Background

Philly Music!

Steve's brother-in-law, Paul, was in town for a little over a week. He came to the Fairmount Food Fight with us on Wednesday, where I and our other board members received community service awards. The Food Fight was a great event, but was over at 10pm, so I wanted to top off the evening with some live music.

While I was hoping to catch at least a little of Banned Books at Johnny Brenda's, we were too late. Headlining for the evening was Philly band "Laser Background". This was the first time either Paul or I had heard them. And it was the first time Paul had been to a music venue in Philly. We both enjoyed the show.

I would normally embed a sample of the band's music right here on my blog page at this point, but Laser Background has deactivated the ability for people to do that, so I'm just ending my comments here.

Nov 28 : Banned Books

Would like to have seen Banned Books (CLICK HERE), but I had been at Fairmount Food Fight and I arrived late at Johnny Brenda's.

Nov 21 : Get Ready

Oh, it's been a long month. I've gone that long without going to hear any bands play. Part of the reason has been a busy schedule, also bands that I like not playing on the nights that I have off. But more recently and for a couple weeks I had problems with internet access, so, at the rate of 30 cents per minute at Kinko's, opted not to investigate venue websites and listen to band pages.

Now I've got my internets fixed (it was the router wifi complex) and have listened to some interesting samples and have marked my calendar accordingly. More to follow. :) … … "
