Brendan Boogie And The Best Intentions @ The Rosebud Bar 7.9.2011

Brendan Boogie is a man with a plan. His plan was to release six EPs in the first half of 2011 with a celebratory shindig thrown every month. He just successfully completed* this cycle with another fun night at The Rosebud in honor of Songs From The Armory Vol. 3.

The opening featured Brendan Boogie and his latest co-conspirators playing the songs from the new EP. It was loose and fun for just about everyone involved.**

The second part of the set had Brendan and The Best Intentions ripping through some of their finest material. I know there was a lot of (probably well-deserved) hype about a certain catch-us-before-our-reunion event elsewhere in town, but Brendan and his gang were putting on a memorable show of their own. No regrets here. It was a blast.

* Well, he did take April off, so the sixth EP didn’t come out until July. For some reason I feel the need to mention this (again). I don’t know if this is because I don’t want people to think I don’t know how to count or if I just like giving Brendan a hard time. It’s most likely the latter, but the former gives me a plausible out.

** Seriously, almost everyone had fun with this part. Almost…

Mr. Boogie decided he was going to release one new EP a month for the first six months of 2011. He’s ambitious. This show at The Rosebud Bar was the release party for the third of those. He’s also a slacker and is skipping the month of April. Look for the next three EPs in May, June and July.
