This weekend I went to the Greenwood Lake Car and Air Show, which was also a Battle of the Bands. I had a BLAST and even got to talk to a band who will be coming on The Dive next semester, The Nico Blues. I've played their music before on air and I must say that they are awesome live! Here's their url, go check them out and download their album.....FOR FREE! http://www.thenicoblues.com/
So, a lot of cover bands played that show. They were pretty good. But it didn't matter because Ideal Drive came in first. I'm sorry but I don't think they should have won. Yeah, they were okay....but just okay. They were very inexperienced and also you could tell they were trying too hard. The only reason why I think they won is because they went on stage during the last cover band's set and played the cow bell and tambourine. Seriously, it wasn't fair. Their drummer wasn't good, it sounded like he didn't know what to play so he just banged everything as hard as possible. It disappointed me. But hey, what can you do...
In other news! I'm going to TWO concerts this week! I'm going to see Tall Tall Trees on Wednesday at 3pm, it's free and at Bryant Park. Then on Friday I'm going to see Talking to Walls at the Bowery Poetry Cafe. Should be fun!
I'll be updating my Flickr account a lot this week it seems! Stay tuned!
peace&&love.
