The past few days
Riviera was pretty good Friday night. I didn't know it was their CD release. I'm not sure how many people can fit in that room, but it was sold out. I'm guessing about 250. I like them, especially their "California" song. All their songs are good, pleasant, easy-listening, ...you just wish they had more edge. Also, you wish they would rock every now and then.I love Chicago. I walked up to the door to the theater at Shuba's and guess who is working the door? Matt, the cowboy hat wearing bassist from Califone. For a small town guy like me, that's pretty cool. Chicago people are probably used to it, but I only know califone by their CDs. So, to me, they are supposed to be indie rock stars, ...off partying in Portland, recording in New York, or colaborating with someone from the Smiths on some esoteric music project.
Anyway, back at work now. Hating it again. Vacations are too short. Damn them.
