On Thursday, after scarfing down some noodle soup at Landing Noodle, I headed one block over to The Supermarket for an early show. In conjunction with the 30th anniversary of Love Junk, and a double vinyl release, The Pursuit of Happiness was doing a special show where they played the full album.

The crowd was an eclectic mix. Most were older and from that era; some obviously came straight from work in their business suits. But there were a smattering of young people barely in their twenties hanging out at the back. TPOH went through every song with energy and gusto and the audience sang along to every verse. Frontman Moe Berg pointed out a couple of extra-special moments: playing Tree of Knowledge for the first time in 28 years, the guitar tech was the same friend that came with them on their original Love Junk tour.
