Black Friday: One-man bands and house party

You may know this dude Rory Lake from around town.. he’s been hosting shows, band battles and karaoke nights for quite some time and he’s quite the character. Anyway, he invited me to come out to this show at American Legion FDR Post (one of the coolest bars in town, btw) and film a little segment for the battle of the bands he’s putting on Dec 11-13 at Bottom Lounge, in which I will be judging one of the nights.

I have to admit when I heard the show this night featured two “one-man bands” I was mostly skeptical. In the end I’m more than glad I went! This dude named Magic from Iowa put on an interesting set with goofy carefree jams & jokes. The other performer was more than awesome. He’s from Chicago and goes by the name Lord of the Yum Yums.  I’ll def be checking him out again asap! Here’s a video from one of his previous shows…

After the show I headed over to my friends’ place at six corners for some fantastic day-after-Thanksgiving drinking. A few friends from out of town were in the building and it was in general a good time.
