cavashawn at metro

cavashawn played for this past weekend's mob fest at metro.

i went to school with the band at Miami University briefly, 

before they dropped and fled to chicago to live the musical 

dream.  They seem to be gathering quite a loyal fan base, 

because the metro was packed on friday for their performance

at 8:15!  They play in chicago quite frequently, so if you missed

this show, it won't be their last.

check out more pictures of ART BRUT

from their show @ schubas.

i saw them live on 6/19... and it was a great time.

he sold out an entire week of shows at schubas, 

so i obviously was not the only one that's been 

crushing on this band.

the field and the juan maclean at double door!

for a rainy tuesday night i was quite pleasantly surprised to find a bitching 

time at double door last night. the rain did not keep the juan maclean 

fans from attending last night's show. the juan maclean brought their own

sound, photo, and lighting crew, which no one could complain about. the

show was flawless. the field warmed up the audience and by the time the

juan maclean entered every one had their dancing shoes on. this was

not an electronic show that relied on the good ole' macbook. they used

a plethora of different instruments... maracas, a theremin, tambourine,

guitar, synth, keys, drums... and i am sure that is not all. the lead

singer was enticing to the men and women alike with her sexy looks,

obvious talent, and rather bizarre futuristic onesie. the juan maclean

will be touring into september so anyone who missed out... you may

still have another opportunity.

bob schneider at double door!

bob schneider was amazing.  and he brought quite a crowd 

of ladies to the show...  as a musician, i don't do a whole 

lot of covers, but i do cover bob schneider's gold in the 

sunset, so seeing that live was really an incredible experience.

i was caught off guard by his new looks, with his freshly

cut hair, but i dig it, i dug it. whatever.  awesome show!

jason shannon at double door

jason shannon put on a great show at double door 6/12.

they have been having a lot of fun touring with 

bob schneider... their booking agent asked them for a

list of people they would like to open for and i think

they got pretty lucky with the final pick.  their show

was fun, the sound was great, and they even incorporated

a mullet wig and beer chugging competition into one

of their songs.  check out jason shannon!
