Good weekend Dirty
Grinders, what a wonderful week of field tripping......
My field tripping week
started with the fabulous Vinnie on Monday afternoon. A new performer
to the Grind and myself, Vinnie passion for music really comes across
in his shows, alas RL dragged me away too quickly (people were
hungry and threatening to cut my internet....;-) but was lucky enough
to catch half a set at a new venue, LA Metro, late Saturday night
(actually was dawn for me ;-).
Tuesday took me to our
sister venue Hotel Chelsea to listen to the delightful voice of Ms
Phemie Alcott, a firm favourite of mine, exquisite piano work
accompanies her rich beautiful voice, her Ep Raising the Black
contains 3 wonderful original tracks, Chaos, Hard to Believe and My
Heart is a Rogue.
The night followed with
Doug Lind at the Pier, Doug is Scottish, a fellow Celt, always a
great show from Doug, his originals emotional and heartfelt and I do
so enjoy when he sings Caledonia.
Wednesday I caught a
field trip before our lives shows commenced for the evening at The Dirty Grind. This time to Commune Utopia and Gweeb, sun a fun
performer to catch with upbeat originals like Fried Egg Sandwich
(with Bacon Marmalade) and Haven't kissed you yet is a show sure to
put a smile on your face.
Friday took me to
Surfside once again to listen to the amazing acoustic work of Bat
Masters, who will be returning to The Dirty Grind this Thursday at
4pm, another newer performer to myself but what have caught so far am
very much looking forward to hearing more of.
Saturday field trips
contained a very special fund-raising event, Phemie Alcott Presents:
!ndustry for Nepal, 8 ½ hours of awesome musicians and dj's
performed to raise money, included in the myriad of performers the
amazing Phemie herself. Alas I wish could have been there for it all
but did make it for a couple of hours and caught our fabulous Anidi
Huet. Over 420K was raised in lindens for Nepal, an incredible
achievement.
Heres to a a fabulous
accomplishment by Phemie et al of !ndustry for Nepal, and to another
great week of indie music ahead........
