The Satellite: The Gooms with Emma Cole and Slugs

The Gooms might actually be the only February Monday residency band I catch. The start of the month was just real busy. If this is the only band I catch, it was a good pick. This band had the crowd pumped throughout.

Emma Cole tossed out her always solid vocals.

Slugs did more of an acoustic set for the night.

The Hi Hat: Jesse Jo Stark with Kate Clover and Minke

It was a solid line-up at The Hi Hat. Kate Clover opened things up. She's been off working new music outside of her band ExSage. You could tell she was having fun on stage. Playing to the photographers. Tossing beer around. Talking to fans after the set.

Minke tuned things in with some singer-songwriter songs. It took a couple songs before the sound guy was able to get things set up properly for her, but after he got the sound right, we all got to enjoy her magic.

Jesse Jo Stark (along with Kate Clover) is one of my favorite musicians out there. Her songs are filled with dynamic power. And I have to say, I love how her fingers move with the motion of her music.

The Hi Hat: littleDNGR and The Max Tribe

It was off to The Hi Hat to catch the Tuesday residency of littleDNGR. Opening up was The Max Tribe with some solid folk rock tunes.

The Max Tribe

littleDNGR is the residency band and they played with some electro-beats. They also had a cool light show that reminded me of being in the Matrix.

School Night: CLARA-NOVA, Graace, Jake Wesley Rogers

It was off to School Night. With CLARA-NOVA playing a set, I was sure I made it out to School Night. To me, her electro beats stole the night.

CLARA-NOVA

Graace came in from Australia to give us some singer-songwriter tunes.

Jake Wesley Rogers came in from Nashville to give us some Southern power vocals.

Bootleg Theater: Justus Proffit, Janelane, Ryan Pollie and Nylon Smile

There was a chill vibe for Justus Proffit's last residency night.

Justus Proffit

For me, the main reason to head out was Janelane. What wonderful vocals. One funny thing that happened was that her electric guitar lost power due it not being plugged in tight.

Janelane

Ryan Pollie and Nylon Smile (can't find a link) opened up the night. In fact, it is possible that most folks came out to catch Ryan Pollie's opening set. Nylon Smile came on next with their lead singer off to the side, which had me thinking those chill vibes.

Ryan Pollie

Justus of Justus Proffit did double duty on this night. He played drums for Nylon Smile and then fronted his own band. While giving shout outs to the bands, he hesitated giving a shout out to Nylon Smile as that would seem like praising himself.

The Echoplex: Jen Awad Residency

The Jen Awad residency night had a little for everyone. You could tell by the fact that individuals and photographers showed up for very specific performances.

Cassandra Violet and Sarah Ault and the Super Natural gave us some music tunes that seemed inspired by old western musicals.

Polartropica brought a little Asian inspired rock.

Jen Awad just blew down the Echoplex with her energy. And one couldn't help but notice how she made sure her friends always stood as close to the stage as possible.

Disco Shrine ended the night with a midnight dance show.
