Oh the tales of being a bar owner. The night started out at the Tempest for a little live music in this charming little watering hole. But the legal-eagle owner canceled toe duo on deck after the under-age songstress of the group was spotted chugging down a beer after the band pulled up ... right outside the bar. In case any bands are wondering, that is a huge no-no. Huge. Like, Grand Canyon huge. These sorts of stories make it all too clear why the Tempest is up for sale.
So then it was off to O'Malley's to catch Source in Code to support my Lakes High School alum brothers. The band has sort of an experimental grunge meets progressive rock sound that involves a bit of yelling. The band was on the bottom of the lineup that also included Digital Chemistry, Bone Cave Ballet and Marching Mind.
The crowd was a mix of aging punk rockers and wanna-be rockers with their tattooed girlfriends downing PBR like it was a house party before prom night.
