Palomar + My Teenage Stride
It was pretty packed in the basement. Palomar had gotten a mention in one of the AM/Metro papers. It might have sold out, actually. So good for them. They were fun, just like I remembered.
I don’t know if their sound has changed. Maybe it’s their new bass player, but they blew me away. I felt like I had learned something about how to compose a song. They have three guitar players each doing their own thing and the bass is what’s keeping the song together. I guess that doesn’t come through as much on the album which is mixed more traditionally.
Also ran into Courtney, the queen of the twee scene again. Kat and I saw her at the last show we went to as well, Peggy Pains’ Birthday Extravaganza. If I do this enough times, maybe she’ll remember me. 😉
