My sister and I went to a show at the Velvet Lounge last night. The place is basically a hole. If you want to go somewhere for the decor, don't got there. But it was dark, so you couldn't really tell. Plus the show was great, so who really cares? There were four bands in the line up.
First was Vote Quimby (official, myspace) out of Annapolis, a pop/punk/rock band with a side of stand-up. I saw them a while back in Baltimore and they were just as fun this time.
Second was The Dance Party (official, myspace) out of College Park, a powerpop/indie rock band whose lead singer's flamboyant style reminds me a little of Mick Jagger. They have a song about the Karate Kid. How cool is that?
Third was The Unlovables (official, myspace) out of New York, a pop/punk band whose songs and sound in general is just so spunky and energetic that you can't help but love them.
Fourth was the hosts Full Minute of Mercury (official, myspace), who I've definitely mentioned at least a few times before. Their performances are always energetic, action packed and entertaining. Last night was no different. They had the whole crowd jumping up and down so much that I almost feared that the floor might fall through. But luckily it didn't. That certainly would have put a little damper on the night.
All in all it was a great way to spend a Saturday night! I really enjoy going to see live music and if I didn't have such a hectic schedule I would definitely go see more shows. I'm going to have to work on that.
