Zebulon: Maraschino, Diva and the Pearly Gates, Lucola and Olive Kimoto

It was a diverse night at the Zebulon. Olive Kimoto opened it up with some Twin Peaks inspired sounds. She had a couple songs in there that had you thinking Julee Cruise's Falling.

Lucola brought nerdy sexy to the stage along with a couple ballet dancers towards the back half of the set.

Diva and the Pearly Gates shifted the night towards some art experimental sounds.

Highland Park Bowl: The Walks of Life and Sie Sie Benhoff

It was off to Highland Park Bowl to catch the wonderful sounds of The Walks of Life. Those vocals just kill and the music is written in wonderful fashion.

The Walks of Life
Sie Sie Benhoff opened the night with tales of over-drinking the prior night. The hangover didn't impact her music abilities.

The Satellite: Cartalk with Cheekface

It was off to The Satellite to catch Cartalk. The month of February is their residency. The lead singer had an amusing story. At a prior set, a person came up and said, "Truck, I really love your music." Response was, "Truck? No, my name is Chuck." The music rings of America folk.

Cartalk
Cheekface opened up the night for me. Their sound rocked The Satellite.

Club Tee Gee: Neon Cowgirl and Andrew St. James

I've been in slow recovery from an illness. Yet, I found the energy to head out to catch Neon Cowgirl at Club Tee Gee. It is always a joy to catch Holly Marilyn. Her current music is very introspective.

I was going to leave after neon Cowgirl, but ended up with talking to a friend of Andrew St. James. I decided to stay for half of set of this San Francisco artist. It was amusing (or maybe it shouldn't have been amusing) listening to his random comments about his difficulties with San Francisco law enforcement.
