Is it just me or does today feel more like Monday than Mondays usually do? Does that make any sense? On my way to work, this song came up on my IPOD….I found it fitting for the day.
today just feels…painful. Hopefully it will be over quickly.

You all know I am completely in love with this band. I’ve seen Queen Caveat twice in the last two weeks and I’m already ready to have another go. Tuesday night at The Viper Room, the place just about exploded when they did this cover of Rage Against The Machine’s “Killing in the Name”. Someone caught it on video. Thought I’d share…
Mark your calendars for March 1st when they team up with SD fave’s The Silent Comedy to destroy the stage at Saint Rocke!

It’s been quite the week for music! Sorry I’ve been so quiet, but I’ve been busy enjoying great shows every night and I haven’t had the time to write. Some of the highlights from last week include seeing one of my fave songwriters and storytellers, Anna Nalick, watching Keaton Simons blow the roof off of The Roxy with his amazing new tunes, hanging with friends and falling in love with new bands like Armada at The Mint, getting what I hope continues to be my weekly fix of new band love Queen Caveat, and, of course, being reminded of why Nico Vega is one of the greatest bands I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching perform.
Also, this week I had the extreme pleasure of talking with one of the most exciting new bands coming out of the Philadelphia music scene, SINAI. More on my interview with them PLUS footage from the last weekend’s Philly adventure still to come…
