with cheese, please

Ian Moore

Thumbs Up: I saw Ian for the first time in a LONG time tonight at Antone’s, and boy! Whooo! I really enjoyed this… Although I’ve been ‘pals’ with Ian for several years, It had been a long time since I’d seen him perform with an electric guitar. It was fantastic stuff, from the Costello-Get Happy- opener to the orchestral “April” and the dreamy bundle of closing tunes. I’ve been gettin’ plastered on Pig Destroyer and such as of late, tonight’s show was a reminder that melody and guitar solos do occasionally have a proper place in the rock and roll. Especially sweet was seeing my dear pal Matt Harris (bassist for the Posies, Oranger, Preston School of Industry and big Star Wars’ fan) rockin’ the bass and background vox. Sweet!

Matt and Ian both gave a shout out to this very blog during the show…I blushed!
