William Caruso's Wet Hot Social Anxiety / The Casual Lust (from S.F.) / Woolly Mammoth / John Gake / Devon Williams & the Grunge Gods

really enjoyed this show so far, i'm working in my room, so i am hearing v. seeing mostly, but would like everyone who's played to return...

the casual lust (duo from sf who played last) hopefully returning to the il corral in late june...(bavab bavab will be on tour i think so it may be early july),...but soon regardless...her voice thrills castles in the sky then kicks down walls with some power from somewhere never flagging...i really want more people from la to hear them...

this was a still and attentive crowd night... singer.songwriter in many forms played, and it was all good... william and his 8track, the grunge gods, woolly mammoth (who i think really enjoyed the swinging rope)... and congratulations to john gake for kxlu sounds...

listening away from the actual performance sort of flattens the sound for me so i can hear it more thoroughly...otherwise i find myself looking at everyone watching what they're doing and hearing it, but it gets pieced up that way.... if i'm not watching, the listening takes over completely... i like to be right in the room though...then you're there physically absorbing the sound and giving back to the performer... ideally i could always do that... but i had a fabulous night listening so... can't complain
