Its really cool to see a band grow from the beginning stages when they have 10 people in the audience and they are living on friends couches, to having a record deal and selling out venues. Second only to my boys of Household Names, I'd say What Made Milwaukee Famous is the band I've seen most in Austin. I've written two blogs about them here and here.
One other show I recall that I can't find a blog for was a gig at Emo's Outside and I had brought one of my friends to introduce her to the band. We were upfront and I was definitely getting into the song and singing along...Michael saw and gave me a funny look and laughed a little. Kind of embarrassing for me, but I hope he was flattered!
Which leads me into the show last night also at Emo's Outside stage. The biggest difference from that last show...the massive crowd! Last time I was up front with plenty of space around me and heck, Michael could see me. This time I was lucky that I found Chris, Eric and Jason in the courtyard and we couldn't get closer than the bar...and that's at the back. It was a great mix of people which is cool since it shows they have potential for greater mainstream success.
I loved their first album "Trying Never to Catch Up" and I got really excited and sang along to my favorite songs, but I also really enjoyed the new material for the CD they just released this week, "What Doesn't Kill Us". Resistance St. is my new addiction. You should get that album from iTunes and support this great Austin band. Also, catch them next time they are in town.
*no pics since I couldn't get close and the pillars were in the way. :(
