Is that Charles watching her from behind that tree?
I like her...a lot. All of them as a matter of fact!

I like her and the group a lot, as well.
And that definitely was Charles.

Mesmerizing. Beautiful, honest, fun.
Great voices. I'd like a bit more tempo.
Very cool, Jack. Thank you very much!

Very cool, Jack. Thank you very much! AH! Trust in my friend Tom to "get it." It's not totally my cup-o-tea, but it is so honest. They set up one good mic, outside, no 16 channel mixer, no eq, no reverb, no compression. Then they just gather round the mic and let 'er rip. Nothing electronic to hide behind. You've either got it or you don't, and with a setup like that, it will be obvious which is the case. I enjoy big production, but IMHO, THAT is how music should be experienced and I greatly admire their courage, honesty, and integrity. Mark, I'm so glad you are enjoying it. I am too.

I hadn't listened to that on my Mackies...it's certainly better sounding there than with my computer speakers.
It makes me want to order an EP500 and listen to it in my living room!

It was definitely Charles, I know because he wouldn't get out of my way.... Damn she's hot... Quite a voice too. I don't really enjoy that type of music, but I certainly appreciate their talent. I bet they are very enjoyable to watch live in a small venue.

I keep thinking I want to order some of their music. Even though I wouldn't get to look at her, I think the music would make good demo material....especially with that nice stand-up bass.

I'm liking this one a lot: Lake Street Dive - It's Funny Not to Care . In January, they're playing at a place I can conveniently attend...so maybe I'll go see them to make Mike jealous.

You'd better go, Mark. I totally would. I keep staring at their events list hoping to see an upcoming trip to the Northwest.
And yeah, "I'll just play the chair" on Second Hand News is hilarious.
I'm pretty sure I'm in love with Rachael Price. I might like her solo/quartet jazz standard stuff even more than the LSD material.
Gosh, it is exhilarating to find new music to love. Thanks, Jack!

Oh, dude, you did NOT go there. Did you see just how hippie/green "pickathon" is? I wouldn't have lasted ten minutes there. And that's "close" to me like Albany is close to you.

I just ordered the Lake Street Dive self-titled album on CDBaby. It's back-ordered, so maybe the band is blowing up! I've used CDBaby before to order a high school friend's Jazz CD and found them a pleasure to deal with.

Coincidentally, Lake Street Dive was just interviewed and performed on my local NPR affiliate, New Hampshire Public Radio. Honestly, I didn't think it was as great as I had hoped, but thought I'd share the link anyway in case someone else was interested.

What do you guys recommend for Cat Power CDs? Jukebox would be one to try. If you don't like that one, you probably won't like the others too much. I have there new one on order, "Sun". Not sure if I'm going to like it, as it sounds kinda Pop in comparison to her previous work....

Thanks for the suggestion, Mike! I just ordered tix to see Lake Street Dive. I've never heard of the venue, though they're under 10 minutes from where Joyce and I grew up and 5 minutes from where we first lived when we got married. It looks like they have some good shows, and it looks like the perfect venue for some of these artists! Wish I could see 'Keb 'Mo on Monday!

Lake Street Dive did a fun Halloween video that Jack ought to like. This newer song is one of my favorites from them. I have tix for Joyce, her sister and myself for early January in a small art museum.

I have my Lake Street Dive performance on Friday, and looking at future shows at the venue, just bought tickets to see Tab Benoit there in February.
I'm psyched!

Be sure to let us know how it went. I had never been to the venue before; it's an art gallery in a mill district in a city near where I used to live.... a city that no one particularly likes. Joyce and I were going to open a photography studio there and we would likely have done very well, but neither of us liked the city beforehand, and living there for a couple of years after we were married did nothing to change our mind. The venue was nice, though. Two hundred and fifty seats when full. The acoustics were pretty good and the sound system was just installed the previous year. I sat center-stage, about 20' back and the show was sold out. I didn't realize that there was an opening act.... Plume Giant... and I was impressed. Very folksy, which I'm not normally into. But the trio had a great vibe and were very impressive musicians, trading instruments among each other and harmonizing very well. After their performance, I bought the EP and LP they had available in the lobby. Having listened to each several times since, my impression hasn't changed: I really like them. This seems pretty typical of them, though the sound quality isn't great on this clip. Lake Street Dive's performance gave me a much better appreciation of them as musicians. I don't think anyone who read the above posts couldn't figure out that I have a bit of a crush on Rachael....and her voice didn't disappoint. What surprised me is how much I learned to appreciate everyone else. Mike Calabrese wasn't just a "drummer", he really is a percussionist extraordinaire. Often playing the drum kit one handed to keep a tambourine in one hand, or sometimes playing drums with both hands while still holding and playing the tambourine, he was just fantastic. What I didn't expect based upon the YouTube clips and their studio releases, is that he's a very dynamic and fast drummer. Actually, the band as a whole was much more dynamic and...if this makes sense... very tight and yet very loose at the same time. Bassist Bridget Kearney, who only plays an upright acoustic bass, had some fantastic solos. And Mike Olson, who plays trumpet and guitar, sounded much better live as well. For several songs, his rhythm guitar had an aggressive "bite" that isn't on the studio recordings. I know it shouldn't be hard to appreciate musicians on their studio albums when there are only four in the band, yet I kept thinking that all of them had distinct traits and individually had great talent which was much more apparent live. Yet together, it was just like watching four long-term friends hanging out. Tight, yet loose. And having met them before the show, were all very easy going, casual people. It was a fun show. I'm going to keep their calendar in mind as I'd like to catch them again. Speaking of which, I see Plume Gint has an upcoming date in Cleveland and LSD has a couple of Washington State shows in March. Thanks again, Jack, for bringing them to our attention!

Oh, I think LSD has been in New Orleans for awhile now. And I think they'll be coming back. I had the privilege of being at their first New Orleans appearance. The Circle Bar is a very intimate setting. An old house turned bar. The area where the band set up was no more than 15' x 30' with the bar at the end of the long end. The crowd was well under 100. A buddy and I actually sat ON the bar as we got squeezed out of our seats. At that I was no more than 15' away from the first mic and 5-6 people back. They are everything Mark (and Jack) said they were, so I won't even try to improve on their comments.

Yeah, I've just been envious since last night instead of this morning when you posted here. I really like them a lot. The only solace I have from missing the Seattle show is that they were opening for Josh Ritter, so it wouldn't have been a full, satisfying LSD set. I'll find them some time, hopefully before Rachael gets the restraining order fully processed.
