The Dixons at Union Pool

It had been more than a year since the last time I saw The Dixons and they picked up two new members during that time (lead guitar and pedal steel guitar). I hope this was one of their first shows with this lineup because it was sloppy. Not horrible, just sloppy. They have great songs, I know that from before, but this was not the triumphant return I was hoping for. Next time?

Electric Tickle Machine at Don Pedro

What's blue and electric and tickles? The amps at Don Pedro if you stand real close. As for the band Electric Tickle Machine, they don't have the sheer auditory firepower of some of those punk bands I keep going to see, but they're all right. They have enough energy, especially the cheerleader guy, and a few really good songs.

The Back CCs at Don Pedro

What, these guys again? And at the same venue even. Yes, I will keep taking photos of The Back CCs until the day when the become legends.

Mark Sultan at Mercury Lounge

Mark Sultan has some voice! He'd better if we wants to sing old-school, doo-wop inspired rock-n-roll without sounding ironic. What really amazes me though is that he manages to play guitar, drums (kick and snare) and tambourine while singing. What Rangers are to regular soldiers, this guy is to musicians.

Dandelion Wine at Rockwood Music Hall

Stage #1 at Rockwood Music Hall is not so small, but the piano fills up about half of the available space. As such two members of the band were not able to get up on stage! My apologies to them, and I hope they enjoy all of the lovely photos, mostly of Danny.
