OlyMusic Experiences

Saw Our Lady of the Highway last night at Le Voyeur. The music is very beautiful. Emotional changes, the band is SO tight. On tour from San Francisco, all the songs they played and all the songs on the album are ABOUT LEAVING - the end of a relationship, which is where I'm at myself, so it was just perfect. Great break-up songs. I'm listening to the disc now. Got all the folks in the band to sign it. They belong on 103.7 the Mountain, a good radio station out of Seattle that comes in as well as KAOS in Olympia. I know they got a disc to KAOS and FRO - the Mountain would break them into Seattle big time, and they fit the genre. Also got a Poster. Now I will attempt to recall all the shows I've attended since last update: Ah, the show at the 4th Ave Tav presented by Space Gnome Records with Resident Anti-Hero and the Biznautics. That show with Dante's rap and the scratchin' dj with all those guys on the mic with the biznautics was crucial. Those guys are very good and very chill. Got to talk with Chris R. a bit. I tried to explain that Tommy thinks he is funny and is actually doing a good thing by stirring everybody up, but doesn't mean any harm. He pointed out something along the lines that being chill is being chill, and things that don't seem chill, probably aren't - that's my paraphrase, he did say that he doesn't have anything to prove. That makes a lot of sense. I feel like I am meditating in a good dancin way when listening to Resident Anti-Hero - feel like I'm spinning in a fun house listenin' to A-Kamp - all y'all's are talented with lots of good stuff to put out there. So, that show rocked. Earlier that same evening I caught a bit of a group called Bevy (hope that's spelled right) at the Spar. The Spar has lots of great jazz and jazzy groups play there. This group was a large group of women (more than 6, less than 10), and I noticed drums, big deep resonant sax, upright bass, keyboard, and I'm trying to remember the rest of the details... they played "Brazil" very well, and I am fond of that song. Hot Club Sandwich played that on March 20th in the park when people turned out to express a desire for world peace and an end to the disgusting war our corrupt government administration has brought about. I do believe the song I heard them play before Brazil expressed a strong desire for peace, and suggested activism for those listening. I wish I had written sooner to remember the details better.
