How many times will he rip off Dorothy? As many times as I want.
I was suppose to go see Romantic Disasters and Streets of Thieves on Sunday but they started way earlier than previously posted so I missed both band.
Monday though there was another show at the well frequented Conservatory and the lineup was: Jack Germany, Thirteen Stars and the Gazelles. This isn’t what I would normally go out to see but I went anyways for various reasons and, huzza, I wasn’t disappointed.
First up was Jack Germany, a solo act accompanied by some MP3 players. Usually I’m not that impressed with solo acts but this guy did a pretty good job. He had a good sound and his set was short but good. I really don’t know what category to put him into other than pretty good.
Next up was the reason why I came out and that was Thirteen Stars, they are a local band and again a little out of my normal range of music but not so far out that I can’t appreciated it. I got the impression of a mix between Pink Floyd, Matthew Sweet and maybe a little Ok Go and the signer just kept reminding me of Axel Rose, in sound not in look. They had a pretty high energy set that was a lot of fun. I enjoyed them a lot and will defiantly try to make it another one of their shows.
Last were the Gazelles, an Alt Rock, and Pop sounding band out of TX. These guys also had an enjoyable set though a little harder for me to categorize. Not so much with the energy on stage and it was pretty short, I wouldn’t avoid them if they came through town again but it would depend on the accompanying bands on if I would go.
