I want to second everything Michael said about Walter and his band...got to catch a local set at Fitzgerald's Pub and they blew my party away. I was privy to the North Carolina Sparklefest set as well and I truly can't say enough about this band. One of the truly TOGETHER bands on the circuit, all that time together shows. Opening for them was my new fave, Eugene Edwards. Unfortunately, his band couldn't make it because they really get things rockin' but Eugene still made an impression with his charming rough-around-the-edges Squeeze-esque vocals and great melodies. I'll be seeing him with full band at TAIX in my Eastside hood and I can't wait. We chatted for a bit, seems his record will be done and out in a couple of months. He's self-releasing, but to be honest, this was one of the few times I wish TallBoy had enough pull (and advance money...) to nab a band. Look for great things from this guy...the fact that he looks like a cross between Dave Grohl and CvS doesn't hurt... Anna ===== http://www.tallboyrecords.com TallBoy Records P.O.
