Live House

I've had a pretty relaxed weekend. I did get to go see some live music today. Another teacher's student was in a band that was part of a small rock festival downtown. We got there late, so we only saw 4 of the 9 bands playing. It was fun to see quite different bands playing.

The first band had a guy playing a electric clarinet (it looked like) surrounding by a regular band playing both mellow tunes and some rocking ones too. the next band had a small following of college kids. the played quirky short tunes with too much talking and antics between songs. the 3rd band was the one with the student we knew. All the guys were in their 40s and liked playing older English artists like Bob Marley, the Eagles and Eric Clapton. The last band was also a younger band that sounded a bit like Mighty Mighty Bosstones. There were 7 members in the band which included a trumpet, band drums and calypso drums.
Overall a fun way to spend a Sunday evening.
