2nd Night at the Jazz Fest

2nd night out with my dear companion at the Jazz Fest. No big wins like opening night, but nothing bad either.

Started out at the Roundhouse with In the Country, interesting with very lovely voices and harmonies. Bounced to the Venue on Granville for Jaga Jazzist great band, reminded me a little of Frank Zappa at his brassy best.  

I was not so much impressed by the venue (Venue) small version of the Commodore felt too tight nowhere to sit for a bit and an over packed dance-floor. My dear companion, who loathes the Commodore, declared it quite nice!  :/

Final stop was the Vogue for Blonde Redhead.  Opening for them was the Luyas, cool little band. Jessie Stein, the lead singer/guitarist hits the stage with plenty of energy.  Very "art of noise" with a dose of industrial thrown in.  I liked it.  Blonde Redhead, very interesting stuff, very sensual, got the crowd up and crowding the stage. Not what I normally listen to but very cool.

Today we'll check out Koptor and I have tickets for Steve Earle! 

Talk to you later.
