i'd love to hear this tania.

how was the duke spirits show? their album is quickly becoming one of my favorites of the first 1/2 of '05.

Duke Spirit were fantastic! Lotsa energy from the hot blonde bombshell singer who reminds me a lot of a young Deborah Harry. Band was tight, loud and simply awesome. Sold out show from what I could tell in the tight area that is King Tut's, but well worth the sweat and smoke.

And, I'll take care of your request tonight, check your PMs this weekend.

sweet -- thanks t!

Btw, the Archie Bronson Outfit opened for Duke Spirit -- they might be worth checking out. On the Domino label, pretty good for three hippie type guys with beards.

i love the archie bronson outfit. i got that disc last year (i think they ended up around #30 on my year end list). i think they just released it here in the states this year.

wow, great show. hope that combo tours over here!

I would love to hear this too!
Be careful you don't get overrun with requests... because you might.
Lotsa love for the Fannies around these parts.

Tania, this sounds great! Can I get it on the requests for this?

Of course!

Dri, would love to perv with you on Saturday, but am going to the Avalon for the Kaiser Chiefs show (I do wish I could see The National and Menomena, though). Are you going to Five Dollah Funk? If so, I'll see ya there. Either way, I'm always up for dinner!

BOO! fine, justin's all mine then. i don't think i'm going to go to $5 funk, rian was supposed to bartend but she's not anymore so we're just gonna do the menomena show and then there's another AIDS benefit party going on for one of jp's friends.

Dude, you ARE seeing Spoon on the 21st, right?

that's not a question, it's an answer.

E'stone and Dalen, check your PMs.
