Love is Currency and DBR team up!
DBR is teaming up with the website loveiscurrency.com in order to cross promote both sites. Love is Currency was created by Jenna Silva, a fellow Roadsteamer fan (heck, she lives in the same apartment building with the guy). Her goal is to "connect like-minded, open-minded artistic and innovative people" though different writings and social groups. In fact, she has put up a subsection and a petition to bring Robby back to WBCN. I hope you check out her site and look for a DBR write up soon!

Fair Warning at Dodge Street
Last weekend, DBR's Big 3 went to Dodge Street to scout out the Van Halen tribute band: Fair Warning. I noticed the crowd for this show was an older crowd (it even made Ed look younger). My thoughts on Fair Warning are that I really wanted to like them, but they were lacking something lacking with them. Plus, after seeing Cocaine Tongue numerous times, you expect that same kind of showmanship (members of the band dressing up like Guns and Roses) from other cover bands. Nevertheless, the video is up on YouTube and you can judge for yourself.
Speaking of cover bands, Tool tribute "Tool Fist" will be at Dodge Street tomorrow night. Most likely we will end up going there. Also, Cocaine Tongue is playing at the Good Time Emporium with Negative Creep (a Nirvana cover band). Enjoy the music!

Shows from the weekend, May 10th and 11th
Hi everyone,
It was a big weekend for music! Saturday night, Ed and I ventured out to the Harborhouse in Gloucester to see Cocaine Tongue. Of course, we got lost and mapquest was no help at all, plus we thought it was in downtown Gloucester when the bar was actually in a residential area (who puts a bar in a residential area anyways?). The guys had a good set of songs, but at the end of the night, Ryan (bass guitar and vocals) said that his guitar was off and Chris (lead vocals) said that his voice was off, plus Nick (keyboards) didn't want to be shown on camera, haha. Nevertheless, Ryan and Chris really didn't want me to put up the video from the show. I didn't think there was any problem with the video at the time I shot it (this with 4 or 5 beers in me, everything sounds good). However, after further review, Chris's vocals were way off. So, in fairness to the band in promoting them at their best, I will only put a couple up from the show.
Then, on Sunday night, Ed and I once again traveled out to Allston Rock City to see Robby Roadsteamer and some other local comedians. The place was dead early on, but once the night went on, people started to trickle in (this was on Mother's Day night so that kind of explained the crowd, or lack there of). Robby unveiled some of the new songs on his third and final acoustic album "This album syncs up to Toejam and Earl". Robby also announced that he will have this new CD available for download on his website. If you go to the right side of the page near the pictures, I have posted the link to the page for the new album. Good show and the comedians were great as well. Congrats also to Chris Coxen for winning $25,000 in the Jockey Underwars competition. For more on Chris, go to www.christophercoxen.com
Have a great week!

Cocaine Tongue at Dodge Street
Hello,
Last Saturday was a crazy night, so much in fact I was only able to get three videos of Cocaine Tongue. This is what happens when you go to a show and a Beverly High Reunion breaks out. Anyways, before I realized that half my graduating class was at the bar, I did record a couple of songs by Faith in Distortion. I've seen them in the past when they have opened up for Cocaine Tongue and they put on a pretty good opening set. Cocaine Tongue has a new member in Ryan Davison. Him and Chris Harvey are also in Autumn Above (who we saw last week). I think Ryan did a good job in his GNR cover band debut. Keyboardist Nick D'amico is a regular host on WBCN's Hardy and Robby Roadsteamer show. I sent in an instant feedback asking him to plug Saturday night's show. While I didn't get to hear the "shameless plug", he did make mention of the video on his MySpace that I shot about a month ago at the Italian Club (well, at least one of my videos got a little bit of a plug)
This Friday, Cherry S/T is playing at Dodge Street (I, personally, though will not be there due to other commitments) and Cocaine Tongue is playing at the Harbor House in Gloucester. Then, on Sunday night, Ed and I make our way back out to Great Scott's for another one of Robby's acoustic shows. Robby has mentioned that he's not going to do as many shows during the summer, so this is probably going to be one of the last chances to hear is acoustic act for awhile. That's about it for now. Talk to y'all next week.
