this charming band

last night this charming band played in fresno. this was the first time i'd seen the smiths tribute band, although i had been talking about them on our podcast lately.

frankly, the show was smashing.

although a cover band, the band doesn't really spend a lot of time trying to look like the smiths the obviously spend a lot of time trying to sound like the smiths. and they've succeeded.

it was a great time. the band played for around 90 minutes (i think). it was sold out, so club fred/audie's olympic was jammed with people. around us in the crowd were people from s.f. & l.a. there was even some l.a. "crew" that was there. pompadours ruled the house.

the band played pretty much every smiths' song you would have wanted to hear. they even played a few morrissey songs. sadly, the one solo morrissey song that i would have loved to hear, first of the gang, was not played. whatever. i still had a fabulous time. my ears are ringing, my throat is hoarse from screaming lyrics, and i'm wondering when they'll descend on fresno again.
