I saw my great friend, McGowan at Galaxy Hut here in arlington. It’s always good to see
him and nice for him to focus on his own music a little bit after spending time touring and recording with Ben Lee. he’s got some great new stuff!
I was also extremely and pleasantly surprised at the
set from Naked Puritans who also performed! They’re
based out of Charlottesville, VA and I couldn’t quite
place their sound…maybe a teensy bit sneetches, then
a lot more Wild Carnation/Feelies, maybe a smattering
of Versus and Unrest?! at any rate, they definitely
got a bit o’ teenbeat sound going on and were
refreshingly fun. sometimes the unexpected shows are
the best. seems like they’ve been around for a bit,
and tour up and down the east coast. normally, I’d
wonder how they haven’t shown up on my radar, but I’m
poor and can only afford the free shows much anymore
(galaxy hut is free).

it’s always great to see some of my old friends, and
McGowan was no exception, esp. when he played my
request of his version of ‘Sexy Sadie.’
