Stuff You Should Know

Well, Supercush played at Otto's on Wednesday and, while we didn't set any attendance records, we did see some excellent bands. Zebulon Pike was the headliner and they closed out the evening with some hellacious prog-metal. They're totally instrumental and they bring the thunder, man. They also bring some insane, criss-crossing guitar parts.

The opening band, originally slotted to play in the Underground, was called Minmae. They were a nice surprise and balanced out the evening quite well. I'd say they fit the more "indie rock" sound and reminded me quite a bit of older Screaming Trees. Good stuff.

Finally, there's an art opening tonight in Chicago of note. My friends Jeff Tady and Dan Grzeca will do their thing at Cyt O Gallery on South Halsted. You are invited.

Sorry I missed the show, C. Man, but I was flat-out, sick as an old dog!

I'm sure you whipped a rhino's ass.

No worries. I'd normally be against a $7 cover charge, but the other bands were pretty good, too. Lot's of rock for a Wednesday.

I thought The Nappy Headed Hos were opening for you?

You're fired.

I hope the show was fun. There's something to be said for prog-rock in all its incarnations.

Why Do I Do This?

I was originally inspired by the Web log posted on the site for Propellerhead Software. They developed a cool 808 emulator which eventually morphed into an entire digital audio workstation package (Reason). Those early posts documented their development process and gave a human insight into their struggles. It was cool. So, I bought some hosted space and figured out FrontPage to put a rudimentary site together. My goal was to connect my family, but then realized this could be a great way for me to keep track of happenings over time. Eventually, the manual, HTML journal gave way to this Blogger setup - much easier to deal with, and not bound to one computer.

Ultimately, this is more about nothing than an episode of Seinfeld, but I appreciate that you've read this far. Really.
