Limes with Orange

I had intended to promote this beforehand rather than talk about it after the fact, but since I wasn't feeling all that well last week and SOMEONE didn't get me the info until Thursday… well, suffice it to say, here we are after the fact.

Anyway, my erudite, laconic, guitar-playing friend Brian has recently joined Caught Staring, the current band of his former Burning the Ground band mate (who happens to be an ex-boyfriend of mine… but don't worry, we're on friendly terms). My friend and I caught them at the Pig & Whistle last night and they were great! Brian may have been concentrating a little harder than usual, what with only a handful of rehearsals under his belt and this being his first gig with them, but he sounded solid and tight with the rest of the band. And the rest of the band is REALLY tight.

I had hoped to have a chance to chat with Brian's very cool wife, but there wasn't really much opportunity. (I have a short film idea that I think she'd be perfect for, but I have no idea if it will interest her or not.) But I did meet a funky chick who is friends with the guys in Curious George, another local cover band that I enjoy. She's a "closet writer" (I've been there, my friend) and I'm hoping to help her come out of that closet. But I digress...

I highly recommend checking out Caught Staring. They're a talented cover band with an awesome song list and loads of energy… great for dancing! And I'd have to say they're pretty easy on the eyes, so that's a nice perk for the ladies in the audience (or gay men ).
