1. There’s another band around the Somerville/Medford/Salem with an avian theme called Caged Birds. It’s lead by Christian McNeill and features sultry Sarah Semanski on lead vocals and a dude who plays a mean Wurlitzer. They’re going to be at Toad in Cambridge for a Tuesday residency, according to McNeill.
2. I came up with a bass idea 4-18-10 this morning and sent it along to James Christensen to do with what he wants. It sounds like a chorus to me but I’ll let our main songwriter decide, if he wants to.
3. Melissa is getting dirtier by the minute attending the Coachella music festival in California. Word has it she joined an impossibly long line for a shower this morning and was promptly admonished by friends for trying to get clean at an outdoor festival. The thinking being that getting grungy, smelly and dirty is part of the experience. Sorry, but that sounds like no fun to me. Melissa is right and her so called friends are plain wrong!
4. James will be hosting trivia again on Tuesday at The Precinct. Having participated last week, I can safely say that it’s worth your while. It was a lot of fun and James does a great job as your host. He even bought a team an appetizer for winning a round. I did pretty well, by the way. I was tied for third place after three rounds before bowing out so I could catch David Johnston over at Bull McCabes. James told me I did really well considering I was playing with myself where everyone else was playing with a partner or a team.
5. Will have some more audio files for your listening pleasure in the days to come including one that features Johnnycakes behind the microphone.
Heh heh… Dave was playing with himself… heh heh
