What You Missed (Part 2) || March 27, 2007
Looks like my normal means of video upload has gone kablooie, so I can't offer convenient Web-streaming for these clips. Hopefully Mac users won't be screwed out of watching either of these:
"Fine Lines" by Bosque Brown (Friday, March 23, at the Cavern)
As I have previously mentioned, Bosque Brown's lineup has seen a shakeup in the past month or so; this clip comes from only the second performance with Becki Phares on fiddle and backing vocals. This version of "Fine Lines" sees Phares making probably her biggest impact, as her vocals are on a significantly lower register than Gina Caves'; the result is pretty striking. Conversations with the band point to continued work toward the next album--no definitive recording dates have been set, but the band will probably have Caves and Phares together on piano and fiddle, respectively.
Unreleased song by Fishboy (Sunday, March 25, at the Barley House)
This comes from a triumphant Sunday night show by Fishboy where he unveiled selections from his new, unreleased album. Or maybe it was the entire album. Still not quite sure--he's written a "rock opera" of songs, and unfortunately, lead singer Eric Michener's vocals were buried at the Barley House, so any lyrical theme was hard to pick up. Looks like fans won't have to wait long to hear what the hell he's saying, as the band finishes recording the album this week with Matt Pence at the Echo Lab in Argyle, TX.
The boys of Fishboy conclude their Sunday night set
From the sound of it, Michener hasn't exactly followed the letter of his original rock-epic inspirations at his 2005 Rock Lottery performance. Solid, hook-filled pop hasn't been buried by anything exceptionally bizarre or distracting in the new songs--the only caveat I had about that famed "Wombstone Pizza" show of '05--which bodes well for the album. As soon as I have more on that disc, including a release date, a sample song or even a title, I'll pass it along to you, the good D1. -SM

The Fishboy show was great.
It was the whole album, in order (with an old song first, and their usual closer song last).
His vocals were very, very loud in the mix. Piercing even from where I was.
They have one of the best drummers... ever. He just blows my mind every time. Amazing.
He totally makes the band.
I'm telling you, you missed an incredible band in State Bird again. soon you'll learn sam. soon.
Hey dude, thanks for coming to the show and filming! That song is called Taqueria Girl. You should put it on youtube or something or let me do it and credit you.
