  Well, last night Hewett and the boys aka Cabin opened up for the Von Bondies. Besides the fact that some people aka Cornett and Kelly were afraid of the Tornado that never was, the night started out very well.
I grabbed 2 waters and hung with Tip, Waggs, the Baron and Baroneess, Jay, and Allie. All other seating was either occupied or being saved by other people. Carrie ended up coming out and I actually got a hug, which was nice, because I wasn't expecting it. Eventually, I got a seat, everyone eventually showed up and we got to watch Cabin do a great set. I thought it would be longer, but they only got 45 minutes?, but they did a great job with that time.
Everyone eventually left after the 2 second band, but in all fairness to all the bands, I stuck around to hear the Von Bondies and sat with Carrie to watch them. We closed the place down and I left to go home. I am glad everyone could come out and support the band. Good to hang out and listen to some good music. I think there will be some partying this weekend, which will be cool. Talk to you all then. This is my report on the 3 bands that played last night: Cabin, Christian?, and The Von Bondies. To be honest Hewett's Band sounded very good. They were the most orginal sounding band at the performance. I liked the way the songs sounded and were performed. I was proud of them for doing a good job. I think if they would have played more it would have been even better. The second band was the most energetic stage show I have seen in a very long time, only problem was that they are confused. They seem like good musicians, but the lyrics and music never seemed to click. No one really seemed to be into it, which is unfortunate, because these guys were going full speed all of the time.
Hopefully a friend will talk to them.
The Von Bondies.
Well, they were good, but the problem is that I think they sound like Jet, The Strokes, The White Stripes, etc. Just nothing new to see or hear, but they were a good band. I just didn't feel their vibe.
