Music

It will be a good couple of weekends for music. We're going to the Andwutz (and friends) record release show this Friday http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=7874327 . I'm glad that Brian will be able to finally catch The Morgan Knockers, because I know he'll really like them. We hit a Waltham show in Manchvegas at one point so that he could see them but they were a super early opening band and we totally missed their set. Not this time!

The Shadow's Fall/Lacuna Coil show is next Wednesday at Avalon. Shadow's Fall will probably have a short set, so I'm curious to see what they play. Lacuna Coil was not good at Ozzfest, and we're both hoping they redeem themselves (a metal performance should not include matching pinstripe outfits and choreographed, matching headbanging movements).

I finally heard Amy Winehouse this weekend - damn! I think my Mom would actually enjoy her, being a big 60's soul and Motown listener herself. Does she perform with a live band? That would be a really interesting show. Having read an interview with her in the current Bust magazine and seeing what she looked like and then hearing the voice (that sounds like it would be coming out of a 40 year old black woman) was amazing.

On a totally different note, the local Mexican place around the corner http://www.paisanowaltham.com/ has Mariachis on Friday and Saturday nights! Brian and I really want to check that out soon.

I asked before but I'll be more specific now - anyone know where you can go dancing to 80's music on a FRIDAY night? The Phoenix site seems to think Axis, but who knows how out of date that is! :)

Amy Winehouse does perform with a full big backing band--you can find live clips at YouTube. Her voice is so consistently good, there's no studio trickery to her. She'll be here in July, at the Paradise!

ha, I know what happened--I read about it at her site, which would of course have the date in UK format, so that May 7, 2007 would be 7/5/07 :-)
