SUNDAY OCTOBER 7th 2012

Finally sat down and did some sketching. Haven't done this in a while, but the weather seemed so sweater appropriate, all I wanted to do is put one on and make myself a hot cup of apple cider.
FYI, this is dedicated to all those knitting nerds out there. One I can think of in particular who goes by the name Ms. Frank.

The Dead Ships!
As mentioned in my previous post, they were one of the opening bands for Two Gallants, and were an amazing find. Their 50's flare mixed with new age made for an interesting sound. This is a band I'll be sure to follow!
P.S. Devlin thanks for not ripping your shirt off at the end of your set.

Ceiling view at Cactus Club
Loved this Venue! Definitely checking out their lineup.
Little mummy hand stamp for the night. (And yes, Juan thinks he can be a hand model.)
The Dead Ships. First band to open, and they were amazing, please check for them on my "music to my ears" section, which should be posted shortly.
And Two Gallants, better than I imagined. I would love to see them again. Great Tuesday night out, but it kicked my ass the next day at work, well worth it.

Murder by Death, I know, the name sounds like a heavy metal band, not true. The lead singer has an amazing voice, much resembling Johnny Cash. Juan and I saw them perform 2 years ago at Frankies in Toledo and they were great. Full band including cello player and trumpeter made for an entertaining night.
Would recommend them to anyone! Please listen and pass it along.

Beirut! I know this band has been around since 2006, but had to list them. Now anyone who knows me knows that one of my biggest pet peeves is overly "artsy" artists. This one is borderline, but I will make an exception. Can't help it, they're just that good.
