My compadre and I hit Waterloo Records last night. I picked up Charlotte Martin and the new Patti Griffin. Charlotte's disc did not disappoint. I wouldn't call her a copy cat, but the Tori Amos influences are pretty clear.
After the 2nd day in a row of blowing some hard earned cash at Waterloo, we headed down to see Braless Night with Trish Murphy, Kacy Crowley, and Rene Woodward. This is the first time we had been there, so I don't know if this part of their shtick, but Trish and Kacy started off the show by harassing Rene for actually showing up with support. So about 30 minutes into the show, she pulled the bra removal out the side maneuver. It wasn't alluring or trashy, per se, but it was definitely comical and amusing.
Now call me crazy, but if you're at a venue with a live band, it's standard practice to keep your voices down to a level where they can actually be heard. At one point, this group of really loud people come in and sit down. They were loud enough that Kacy actually made a little song out of it. I can't remember exactly how it went, but it was something like:
We've got a little competition...
Those people in the back...
They're talking so loud...
And they don't even seem to notice...
Maybe you had to be there...
