While seeing Today the Moon, Tomorrow the Sun's final show in Atlanta before they embark on a small tour up the East Coast, I was pleasantly surprised by the opening band, Parachute Musical. In addition to having perhaps the best mix of the evening (due partly to the transparency of their instrumentation and voicing), they had some really enjoyable songs and obviously knew how to work together as a group: the guitar, keys, and bass never seemed to get in each other's way (we're dealing with that now in my own band), the singing (including the backup vox) was clear, and the drums fit in nicely. Most impressive to me was how talented the lead singer was: not only was he a fantastic singer, but his keyboard chops were very solid, to the point that I had to talk with him afterwards to find out if he had studied classically (which he had).
Anyway, I also managed to bump into my friend Mike, Chris from Attention System, and even a promoter who might be able to help us land a gig sometime in the future (he got my number). Finally, of course, it was good seeing Today the Moon again, and I wished them all good luck on their tour, telling them I look forward to another night out at Tacqueria del Sol when they return!
