I was pretty tired tonight, but wanted to do a little music. Since nothing was grabbing me in the listings, that meant I would head out to The Stone for whatever, the early set.
Hmm, some interesting electronics, a drummer whose look reminded me a little of Kenny Wollensen, and a nice lady sitting in front of a lot of electronics who was instantly likeable. Scott the taper/picture guy was there, which usually means it will be good music. It was.
I was impressed with how well it all integrated. Ela did lots of interesting sampling and playback while she sang, played slide guitar, and violin. The drummer was great. I felt pretty good after I left and it's still lingering. They started at 8 on the dot and played til about 8:50, so that was pretty nice as well. I can get some laundry done.
