On Monday, Dec. 3 I went to a $5 concert at the LC put on by CD101. The headliner was Spoon, with the opening acts Happy Chichester, a Columbus native, Great Northern from LA and Buffalo Killers.
I wasn't feeling too well, so I decided not to drink. I had never seen Happy Chichester before, although I'd often heard his local shows promoted. He was pretty good and I would see him again. Great Northern performed a great set and their lead singer had a lovely voice, and they had the requisite pretty, aloof and scantily clad bassist. They were exactly the type of band I would like.... but not quite love. My stomach was feeling awful through the show though, and with every drumbeat or bass note I felt more nauseous. The Buffalo Killers were the last straw and they looked like overweight Jesus' transported straight from 1972. I just wish their music had stayed back then too. It was so bad I had to go to the back of the venue as far from the stage and speakers as possible. Where I had originally been standing, I could feel an actual breeze moving my shirt from the speakers.
Spoon came on at 10:30 and I couldn't even see them on stage so I left after 3 songs. No one was manning the merch table when I left or I might have bought an album by Spoon or Great Northern.
