Nov 14: A couple concerts part 1: Say Hi (to Your Mom)
Cyndi and I went to see two concerts the week of October 28th.
The first, on October 30th, was Say Hi (recently, and regrettably in my opinion, shortened from Say Hi To Your Mom) at the Black Cat Backstage. I've been to the Black Cat's main stage many times before, but never to the Backstage. It's a great place to see a show, evoking the one true DC nightclub--the OLD 930 club, of course--even more than the Rock and Roll Hotel.
Say Hi was co-headlining with The Velvet Teen with the The A-sides as the opening act. The A-sides sounded pretty good at first (I even commented on how good the sound system sounded), but got pretty tiresome quickly. The Velvet Teen rocked out pretty hard and had one of the most impressive drummers, er... percussionists, I've ever seen. This guy was out of control good.
Say Hi was, of course, awesome. This was the second time we've seen them, and the second time they were co-headliners. I really wish they'd come play a show as the only headliner so they could have a little more time to play. As it was, they had about an hour. They played several songs off the new album, which sounded great, and a bunch of older stuff. Again, they denied me by not playing "Yeah, I'm in Love With an Android," or anything off of Disco Sadness, but overall a very fun show.
If you don't know Say Hi, I suggest you check them out. They're the epitome of quirky pop. As an extra, the main guy vaguely reminds one of a bearded John Lovitz (in a good way!).

why on earth would they shorten their name? that's silly. glad to hear it was a good show. hopefully they will be back soon so i can see them.
They seem to come a couple times a year--being a small, mostly unknown band usually means you're constantly touring--so next time we'll let you know and we can all go together.
And you can buy their new album in MP3 format right now! Cool!
