The more time I work on this blog, the more people I get to meet... I was contacted by a promoter for this band, Young Mammals. Along with a personal contact came a free download of the album. As usual, that always gets my attention. I checked them out and they sounded great. An fresh, young sound out of Texas.
There was a dilemma however, this was the same night as my long-time favorite - Dar Williams. I think I would have dropped Dar in a second (I've seen her enough), but then I realized I could make both shows in one night (gotta love Cleveland).
We unfortunately missed the Cloud Nothings opening, but made it in time to catch the Young Mammals. This was Rock & Roll. A welcomed intensity (a little more than I was expecting). Check them out:
Next up was Cleveland's own Prisoners. I knew I had seen them before, but didn't realize until I searched my own blog to realize it was just at Record Store Day. They were great... another superb Cleveland rock band.
After the show, I got to hang with the promoter (Hey Mike!) and the band. Great people... Great Bar.
