post three

The band has grown a bassist (with a zissou-esque red cap) and a drummer, who's actually hitting things now. They're playing blues-rock, which they definitely don't need the violins for. They're pretty good.

The Lakewood Theater is a pleasant place, rather like one of those cool old movie theaters. Its two main colors are orange-red and (barf) teal. The stage is flanked by two naked statues, which must have seemed like a good idea at the time. There are stripes going along the ceiling from the very back of the theater to the front. I can't really describe it beyond saying that it looks like they were trying to simultaneously embrace and distance from the 70's. None of this changes the fact that I wish this band was done so that Sufjan could commence kicking musical butt.
