Git Along

I was at The Mod Club for a mid-week concert. First up was Jeremie Albino. The best way to describe his set was honky-tonk Elvis. Head-liner Lindi Ortega took the stage shortly after. There were a couple of new Lindi Ortega fans around me and they drank in her performance. Certainly there's both vulnerability and power in that quivering voice. I didn't love tonight's set as much as her previous visit. The songs from her latest release are interesting as a cohesive concept album, but they don't have the same emotional impact as her older work. There was a little bit too much spaghetti western in the sound. Hannah Georgas and JJ Shiplett came on as musical guests, but the mix was off tonight and you could barely hear them.
