The Mother of All Updates: A Soliloquy in Five Parts (4 of 5)
Monday night, we went to the Creepy Crawl and saw Against Me! with openers Fake Problems and Riverboat Gamblers. All three bands were pretty stellar. This is the third time in about a year or so that we've seen Against Me! I guess. Hopefully they'll keep coming back, as I think this was the best one yet. I admit to having never heard of either of the other bands until last night, but they did not disappoint in the slightest.
A couple of Wednesdays before that, we caught Flogging Molly with the Street Dogs, twopointeight, and the Architects. Again, every band was better than the previous one. The Street Dogs were especially good, better than I remembered them being from when we saw them open for Social D. Flogging Molly was of course spot on. They brought the fucking house down from the first couple of notes, and never let up. I was even inspired to get in the pit, something I haven't done in years. You'd be hard pressed to find a live act with more honest raw energy.
A couple of weeks before that, we saw the Asylum Street Spankers down at Off Broadway in downtown STL. The Spankers are relatively new to me, having been introduced to them by 1A sometime last summer. If you get the chance to catch them live, I highly recommend this unique musical experience. Most of their songs are extremely funny, and they are very talented and weird musicians - what's not to love?
Somewhere in the middle of all that, we caught the Dempseys as well. That you should keep your eye out for them is a given.
Currently listening to: "Touch of Grey", Grateful Dead
