Scott Andrew - lo-fi acoustic pop superhero!

Not a solo gig, but my second gig with Explone, at the Brick Tavern in Roslyn, WA. Astute readers familiar with early 90s pop culture may recognize the Brick as the local bar from the TV series Northern Exposure. That’s because it’s the same bar. Well, at least I’m sure they used it for exterior shots. Roslyn is Cicely AK.

Anyway, based on Patrick’s earlier experiences playing the Brick with Red Jacket Mine, we were prepared for a so-so turnout. But then three shuttles from the nearby Suncadia resort arrived earlier and disgorged 40 drunken birthday revelers. Between them, the Roslyn locals, college students from Ellensburg and a few rough-looking dudes in sleeveless tees and cowboy hats, we had a packed house without even trying all that hard. We played for an hour, Josh punched a hole in his kick drum head, and I got a rock blister. Good times. Thanks to Will Wakefield and his band for the opening slot.

Here’s a little stop-motion video I made from shots Megan took during the gig:
