Just Dance

Since there is a James Randi lecture next Tuesday, I decided to go see Dwayne Gretzky this week instead of at the end of the month. (It turns out though that I couldn't get tickets to the Randi talk). This week the opening band is synth trio Rouge who do an 80s style dance. I supposed to fit in with the "cover band" aesthetic, for this performance, 3 of their 6 songs were covers including Britney Spears' Breathe. Their originals such as Modern Lovers I were definitely better.

Dwayne Gretzky puts on another fun show. There's been changes lately though. The bassist and one of the singers (who also play with most of the band members in the group Sweet Thing) have been replaced with other people. Also, Robin Hatch seems to be taking over most of the piano duties. One nice thing is that they are introducing me to old songs that I don't listen to including Springsteen's 10th Avenue Freeze Out and Thunder Road and McCartney's Let Me Roll It. As usual, I can only stay for the first set.
