I heard there's some kind of sporting contest happening today? I've heard it's kind of a big deal and the whole wide world stops turning because of it?
Well, you watch your little game. I'll be gearing up to see Ryan Bingham and the Dead Horses at the House of Blues. I've seen the Oscar winner at least three times, but I was working for the band slinging T-shirts, so this will be my first time seeing them in a proper room with proper lights, and hopefully he still has that post-Oscar glow (with a little help from Jeff Bridges in Crazy Heart). Even more exciting for all of us fans of local music is that the Silent Comedy has been building their local following steadily, and after working really hard touring up and down the West Coast multiple times, they were picked up to do the full leg of Bingham's tour, so this is a super special show for the band being in their hometown before a long and arduous tour schedule that runs right in to South By Southwest.
Go ahead. Watch your game. Absorb all the marketing being fed to you. When the game is done, take a disco nap and get down to the House of Blues.
