It was ok, I had to force myself to go out with the lousy weather. Zaimph replaced GHQ as opener which I was a little bummed but even on her own Marsha builds a dense ear crushing drone from layered and sampled vocs and guitar, for about 20 minutes. Within 10 minutes WW was on the stage, his wife sang a couple tunes with him but mostly it was him and his guitar, playing mostly songs from a new album he said (not sure which new album he means), he's really become an amazingly confident and skilled songwriter since I'd see him playing in the Golden Calves, and I think "singer/songwriter" is a curse, so thats high praise from me. I do prefer him playing with the bigger ensembles, vs the solo thing. The Charalambides started with Tom playing some free guitar while Cristina sang, then they did what I think was a Cat Power cover, then Cristina started playing guitar and the two went into some long instrumental nuttiness, and then she ended up singing/yelling trying to keep up with Tom's really loud guitar. But there was a lot of bleed thru from the other spaces during this set that was distracting, not sure how the recording will turn out. Would have been a perfect lineup at Tonic...or the Issue Project Room. At any rate it was a good night and early, out of there by 10:30. Did you see the wallingford show?
