Hey Guys,
I had the pleasure of seeing Robyn Hitchcock and the Venus 3 last night at the Metro in Chicago. The backing band included REM and/or Minus 5 members Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey, and Bill Rieflin and they rocked! It was a great show and RH was in great post election spirits. Needless to say if you're a Republican you might of been a bit insulted by Robyn's banter and songs ( I want to Destroy you). But the crowd loved it. He played a number of songs from the new album Ole' Tarantula and Spooked his last along with lot's of oldies too.
If you are a fan of jangly rock played by some true pros. You will be doing yourself a favor to catch this show when it comes to your town. Old fans will be delighted like me and new fans will surely be impressed.
FYI for you REM fans; Peter Buck came out to the Merch table after the show signed autographs and chatted with the fans. He is now the proud owner of a XTC sticker compliments of yours truly.
Cheers,
Jamie Lowe
