Last night, Candace and I went to see this band from Nashville called the Parachute Musical for my second time here in town. I first saw the band at a Today the Moon show about six weeks ago, and although I liked them at the show, I didn't realize how much I LOVED this band until I downloaded their free EP and took the tracks with me on my trip to New Orleans. It didn't take long for me to fall in love with their combination of Ben Folds-style piano work, awesome vocals, and quasi indie dance-rock rhythms, and Candace had liked what she had heard me play for her, so we were pumped about the show.
The show turned out even better than expected, and singing along to the tunes I already knew was fun (plus, they did a killer cover of "Everybody Wants To Rule The World", which of course I know the lyrics to). After the show, I also picked up their full-length CD and talked to the singer and bassist a bit. As it turns out, the lead singer recognized me from our conversation after their previous show, and he was super nice, which opened the door for my suggestion that we try to put something together once my band gets rolling. He seemed interested enough and told me who to get in touch with once we've got a MySpace page up and running, so that's good.
Overall, a fun night. The other band we saw was Atlanta's own The 54, an all-black rock band (rare, right?) who drew in a relatively huge and enthusiastic crowd despite the fact that I had never even heard of them. They even had some MC hosting the evening between sets, which was weird for this sort of small venue.
