The Juliana Hatfield Three @ Cuisine en Locale 4.19.2015
Old songs! New songs! Solo songs! The Juliana Hatfield Three played it all at Cuisine en Locale. The trio culled tunes from their two albums* and Juliana’s solo work for the memorable set. The end result was wonderful. The band sounded great. The crowd was appreciative. I can’t think of a better way to have spent a Sunday night.
* There’s a 22 year span between those two records. I love ’em both.
Potty Mouth @ Cuisine en Locale 4.19.2015
Fuzzy, biting, smart indie rock is the name of the game with Potty Mouth. During their set opening for The Juliana Hatfield Three, the band built walls of distorted power chords and then knocked them down with concise, melodic guitar lines. The music is ’90s inspired but far from nostalgic. It’s vital and vibrant and dark and honest. Oh, and incredibly catchy.
The Cavedogs @ Cuisine en Locale 10.11.2014
When the Pipeline! at 25 lineup was announced, there was a big buzz around The Cavedogs reunion. They were about to prove why. Smart, vibrant, energetic and just plain fun, The Cavedogs rocked and rolled over at Cuisine en Locale.
Gigolo Aunts @ Cuisine en Locale 10.11.2014
Woo! Gigolo Aunts! Here’s another band-I-loved-but-haven’t-seen-in-forever coaxed back into the light by Bob Dubrow for the Pipeline! at 25 shows. Their set was ridiculous. Great songs.* Great performances. Great night.
* Mostly from Flippin’ Out.

Drumming On Glass @ Cuisine en Locale 10.11.2014
