Night three of three at the Corner Hotel! This time it's for Dappled Cities and one cool gig.
Up first was Philadelphia Grand Jury (aka The Philly Jays), a band that's getting a lot of hype at the moment and a lot of support slots. It was strange that they only got a half hour and Yaught Club DJs got two one hour sets, but they were worth popping down early for, if only for the bassist's killer beard (in Gary-ism: "Holy Beard!"). They were fun, though, with simple songs and lots of energy. Here's their last song, complete with some stupid behavior at the end:
Headliners, Dappled Cities, put on a nice show as well. The new material is growing on me, but I still enjoy the older stuff a lot more. Holy Chord was a pleasure, and I tried to get a good photo of all the (jazz) hands going up in front [see above] but couldn't get a great shot. As much as I love Dappled Cities, some of their songs just go on a little too long on stage. The encore was the best part of the night, though, with the band coming out in fairy-light-covered jumpsuits to sing The Price and Apart from their new album.
Here's the opening song from the set, Colour Coding, minus the last couple of minutes when they just went on and on...
