Birthday Music

Monday was my birthday. I chose live music over comedy for the evening and am I glad I did.

While the headlining band was fine, I was impressed with the opening band and LOVED the second band.

Grand Ole Party is a three-piece band, which I have a history of liking; Violent Femmes, Primus, Nirvana, and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs just off the top of my head.

The female lead-singing drummer of Grand Old Party is all moxie. Whoever invented that word had her in mind when they coined it. In a way it's a shame she's bound to the drum kit, because I'd love to see what she'd do for stage performance while she sings. I bet she dances like a pixie.

They share something with one of my all-time favorite live bands, The Make-Up in that their live show blows their CD out of the water.

In other news, I got a new job today. Monday I start as a casting associate on 1 vs 100. I'm willing to bet I'll be the only person on IMDB that was a contestant that went on to get a job on the show.
