I just realized this is blog entry #102. A few have been short video posts, but mostly they're full show posts or other photo entries. I'm proud of myself for being able to stick to blogging this long, even though I have about 5 subscribers. Thanks for sticking with me!

I ventured out on a Tuesday night to the Soda Bar, which seems to be the new hot club for good shows these days. My first time there was just a few months ago, but lately it's been a frequent destination. Good beers on tap and friendly bartenders help. This was a last minute show, and only had two bands on the bill.

Child Bite from Detroit, MI was up first. Sounded like Kyuss-meets-Andrew W.K. Fast, heavy, but fit for partying.



The most obvious thing about this band is how much hair they sport. They whipped those lush manes around from start to finish.



The bass player kept losing his hat with all the headbanging, but somehow kept his glasses on.



The singer played a keyboard with interesting lights on the front. It even came with its own joystick.





----------------------------

Boyscout is composed of members of Hialeah, Marasol, and Transfer. This was their second show.



I was headed into the bathroom right when they opened the back door, carrying Lain to the stage on a huge tennis racket. I ended up holding it for their set. My bladder, not the racket.



I've never been a big fan of the two drummer setup since it seems redundant at best, and cacaphonus at worst. These guys are doing this more as a fun change from their more serious bands, so I don't fault them for squeezing in the extra drum sounds. Since they're all good musicians, they pull it off well.



I don't usually get to shoot drummers from right next to them, so I gave Justin some extra attention.







Two guitars with no bassist and two drummers would normally equal two strikes against a band for me, but the songs are more jammy and with as much fun as they were having on stage, it was easy to get into it. There were smiles all around. They played with some major low end in the guitars to take up some sonic space. 









Mario seemed to be having the most fun on an instrument he doesn't get to play often enough.



I'd like to provide a link to their myspace, but they haven't created one yet. hopefully they will soon!
