Recent Shows I've Attended

I saw TV On The Radio on Wednesday night at the 9:30 Club, which was a pretty fun show.  They are black (except for the lead guitar player), so maybe I'm biased.  They reminded Josh of Tom Waits and Radiohead, and me of a teeny bit of Living Color.  Random note: I'd never heard a single song by them, but Josh offered me a ticket at the last minute and I of course said yes.  Anyway, I'm going to start listening to their albums. 

I also saw Kenna on Friday night at the Rock and Roll Hotel.  He was FUCKING AWESOME.  I am one of those underground, dedicated Kenna fans that link speaks about.  I'm not really sure why I like him - I don't listen to any other act that he reminds most people of, and he's basically impossible to classify other than in the 'pop' genre.  Not pop like boy/girl band pop, but pop with some substance.  His biggest influence was U2's The Joshua Tree.  Anyway, he's coming out with a new album soon, and I'm curious to see what his follow-up will be like.
