Started off with some new stuff I've been really into lately. Can't say enough about the Felice Brothers--greasy, lonesome americana, nobody's doing what they are doing. And the Raconteurs just keep getting better. Also, check out Ebu Gogo. They're kicking off a west-coast tour here in Portland. Tuesday, March 22 at the Tonic Lounge. I'll be there.

Second half of the show, played a few selections from a show Ugly Casanova did back in 2002. This was a band formed by Modest Mouse frontman Isaak Brock. In 1998, so legend has it, an obsessed fan broke into a show and left a journal behind. Brock got to reading it, and became inspired by some of the entries. He got a few northwest buddies together, and they formed the band, cut an album and toured for a couple of months. Some of the coolest stuff Brock has done came out of this project.

Fun show, call and make a pledge, eh.
