It was very exciting, I was “stumbled upon” by someone named A.J. who after reading through this site contacted me with the name of a band he (or maybe she) thought I would like. The best part is, I really like the music. That is the point of this blog; finding and sharing new music. So to anyone actually reading this, please share! The band that A. J. recommended is called A Somewhat Serenade. They are an independent, six member band from Arkansas, with three people doing vocals, an excellent piano player, drums and lots of guitars. They take all of that and mix it together, the result being a somewhat raw, relaxing blend of cool instruments and voices.   Adam, their piano player is also making an album of piano covers including music from My Chemical Romance, Panic! At the Disco, Arcade Fire, Death Cab and more.  Adam plays them by ear, I’m looking forward to hearing the whole album which should be available this summer.
Also, the Smashing Pumpkins have announced concert dates in San Francisco for late in July and Aug. 1st.   What I have been anticipating for like a year comes during a bad week for us since we already are going to the San Juan Islands during half of the days S.P. will be there.  So Tac and I will be talking tonite, do we somehow try to come home from one trip, dump the kids with grandparents and leave for another? Do we have enough cash to be doing that? (no, but please its Billy Corgan) Can he take that much time from the business?  Will I cry for ten days straight if we don’t get tickets and take the chance that the Pumpkins will be back through the west later in the fall?  I’ll let you know.
