Venice is Sinking at the High

James’ band Venice is Sinking played at Kathleen’s event she organized at the Woodruff Arts Center on Thursday. They were good as usual. My parents came out because they liked them from our wedding so much.

Also, Brent brought an old friend of ours who was a foreign exchange student from Sweden when we were in high school. It was really great to see Johan again. He’s really a very nice guy, and just fun to hang out with.

I got the image from this guy’s site who was at a lot of the shows taking pictures:

St. Vincent

On Sunday (6/14), Kathleen and I went to the Earl to see St. Vincent. It was great, because we had been exhausted from biking around town all day and kickball practice, and we got there right as she was about to go on, which was early for a headline at the Earl.  She had requested it to be a non-smoking event, which is awesome since you usually can’t go to the Earl without coming home wreaking of smoke.

She was really good again. This album seems to be a lot heavier than the last though.

Jersey Boys

My parents took Kathleen and I to see Jersey Boys at the Fox on Saturday.  It’s the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. It was really good, and filled in a lot of the history of the group that I didn’t really know much about.
