Spaceland that is. Caught 2 of my favorite local yokel acts, Merle Jagger and Welldiggers Banquet at the club in Silverlake. Just having a good time and cutting a rug with some of the ladies by the end of the night. I do a jitterbug-twist-country-hoedown-knee-slapping thing when the spirit moves me. I have yet to come up with a name for it. Maybe I’ll call it the “PBR Shuffle.”
Also in the house that night was Sweet Crude Bill and the Lighthouse Nautical Society, a folky assemblage of hipsters and country low-lifes from SanFran. I briefly talked to the bassist/vocalist Anne who reminds me of Alison Lohman. I was also impressed with Bucksworth, a country rock outfit from the Inland Empire. Their bluesy version of Velvet Underground’s Cool It Down (my personal favorite from Loaded) was a highlight.
