1/14 The Elysium bar: I've never
seen a more wretched hive of scum and villany. If you've never
ventured into
this jewel of the red river district, go, today. Suprising
as it may sound, it seems that this place was built for country
music, as the acoustics tonight were amazing. Otis were first
up and were passable. A mix of country and rock. It's hard
to review a band when i'm tuning them out while sitting at
Oil Can Frap's watching the Simpsons. stevie tombstone had
the middle slot tonight, and it became apparent that this
was what people came to see. there's not a whole lots to see
actually. a simple four piece band: singer/guiter player,
bass, drums and a pedal-steel player. no bells and whistles,
no fancy costumes. but the music, ahh the music. old school
country twang with a southern feel. this is the band that
sounds like they opened for hank williams, or johnny cash.
only problem with the night, their set was too short. we all
wanted more. didnt have a chance to see the last band, as
i was sobering up and needed more liquor.
