Stephen was much more impressed with Last Day Lost than I was. They didn't
float my boat. Rush Hour Soul put on a really good set. This was one of
the last performances before the band moves to Wales.

I enjoyed Paul Steel's set. I bet he would be dyn-o-mite with a full band.
As always I enjoyed Adam's set

Steve's new material is taking a turn from the his last cd. Not so pop but
very cool....... Lots of Pink Floyd influences
Stephen departed IPO with 2 more bands to go.
I-94 - they had great guitar sounds and nice harmonies......they were a bit
too slick though
Piper Downs - Always a alot fun. Lots of obnoxious but funny banter with
audience heckler Robbie Rist
