The Mae-Shi, Battleship, Punks and The Cold War, 12/11/04
This show was a damned good time. I'm glad I went to see the Maeshi all those months ago because all of these bands were a very good time. I went with my friend Roddy, who happens to know the drummer in the Maeshi. This means that these guys are a lot older than I thought they were.
Anyhow, I got there and watched The Cold War which was an enjoyable sound. Roddy got there after his job and we watched the rather joyous musical breakdown that was the Punks. I didn't really like them much, thought it looked like they were having a great time. Roddy wanted to join them and I actually suspect they might not have minded much.
Now Battleship sounded great. Good name, great sound. It sounds very state of the art indie with some nice guitar solos.
Then the Maeshi went up. Roddy reminded me of something I totally forgot. "Maeshi" means "business card" in Japanese. Don't think I'll ever forgot that again. They were great fun. The quality of the sound there meant that their vocals weren't easy to hear, but they still looked like they were having a great time. At times, their power chords sure sounded like Heart or Boston. Great joke, guys. Goes very well with that silly sampled thing they did.

even so, you know, a lot of people have friends who are 10 or even 11 years younger than themselves. ;-)
