Man, we had a good time last night!

 

We played a short set at Doc Watson's, a staple of the Philly bar scene. Stillicide (a kick-ass local band) hosts Friends in the Attic every Tuesday, an add-on to Jaxon's Local Shots, and they invited us to play. It's a really cool concept -- Jaxon (from WMMR 93.3), who is a great supporter of local, original music, brings in the heavy hitting main stage acts who play for 45 minute sets downstairs and then upstairs, the "attic" bands play in between the main stage sets. So it's non-stop live music all night long.

 

We were really impressed by the caliber of bands upstairs and downstairs. Spinning Lucy (who we idiotically called Spilling Lucy and Spitting Lucy…oops! Sorry guys!) played before us and they rocked it. Full band, really tight, 3-part harmonies, catchy songs…just plain good. And everyone was really nice! We're so jaded with the bar scene, that we just expect everyone to act like assholes. Not so at Doc Watson's. The Spinning Lucy guys, Vince from Double V Bookings (who ran kick-ass sound!), Clint from Stillicide, Dan the bartender, the audience…everyone was awesome.

 

If you are a music fan in Philly, get your ass to Doc Watson's every Tuesday. It's worth the $5 cover (free if you're a WMMR 93.3 VIP card holder).

 

Thanks Clint! Thanks Vince! Thanks Lucy boys! J
