Well, day one of my two days with Pernice Bros starts today. At Michael Bennett's semi suggestion, I figure to try and post an Audities diary of the shows. Looking forward to seeing the new band, especially the new drummer Patrick, who always impressed me with the Bigger Lovers as being the next best thing to Menck. Tall guys behind little drum kits are SO COOL! I thought I'd give Boston and NYC auditeers a heads up. King Radio (with strings) has worked up a version of Wichita Lineman, and although Joe never sang it with the Scuds, he has said he would come up and sing it with us. So come out early, because it should be pretty cool. I'm looking forward to it, anyway. Of course Joe has been known to change his mind. I remember opening for the Indigo Girls. They asked us to come up and play "Closer to Fine" with them. He agreed and then we snuck out of the venue during their set. happy days :) Frank.
