last night i went out to see the mallard play at audie's olympic. fortunately, heather is on vacation so she was able to go as well. i like the mallard, and really like them live. for those that don't know, the lead singer of the mallard is greer, formerly of rademacher, but it's a much, much different sound than the old days of rad. i dig it. the first time i saw the mallard it was a two piece. then, heather and i saw them as a three piece. now, it's a four piece and sounds really good. the music is more densely constructed, but still has a very light, energetic and loud feel to it.
the first band of the night was a project featuring james brittain gore on guitar & singing, benji mcentee (of the fay rays) on bass, and another guy on drums. they had a nice sound, but it didn't blow me away.
the second band of the night was strawberry jam. i'd never heard of them, but they're from the area. and they freakin rock. both heather & i were astonished by the bass player especially. she laid down some seriously good bass lines on the night. i shot two videos of them to share with the world:
finally, the mallard was up. i could see them over and over. the energy. the talent. the awesome noise. the videos don't do them justice.
so, i'd agree with luke. awesome show last night.
