Played an acoustic date there a couple of weeks ago with some great
popsters, including a killer set by John Powhida leader of a keeeller
Boston power pop band called The Rudds. If you don't know them, you
should.
5 people were at the show. They stopped giving artists 1/2 price
meals. Despite seeing some pretty good shows there (first Pernice
Brothers date ever with Joe, Tom and Joe's brother - Beacon
Hillbillies - Kevin Salem on and on and on....) I have to wipe the
nostalgia from my eyes. It's a tiny place with crummy sound and is a
god awful place to see a show, unless the circumstances are perfect,
and they seldom are.
