The Satellite: My Baby and Object as Subject

It was off to The Satellite to catch a couple bands: My Baby and Object as Subject.

My Baby sent the crowd into a trance.

Object as Subject showed how to turn music into an art form.

The Echo: Capyac with Mobley, Annabelle Maginnis and Two Lips

It was off to The Echo to catch Capyac's residency.

Opening up was the amazing Mobley who came to The Echo from Austin, Texas. He jumped around between drums, keyboards and guitar. He even had his own self-made instrument where he turned those in The Echo's crowd into his own drumset.

Annabelle Maginnis took up the stage next. This is the first time I've seen her under her own name versus that of MetronOhm. She started her set by showing off her music video, Little Toes. Very dreamy sounds.

Two Lips brought us the dance moves.

Capyac closed it out with some dance sounds, as well, along with a large hair wig.

The Satellite: Harry Katz and The Pistachios with Eva Dolezalova and Dario Bronco

It was off to The Satellite to catch Harry Katz and The Pistachios' May residency.

I'm not going to lie that the big surprise of the evening was Eva Dolezalova. She opening the night and blew me away with her charismatic style. Her energetic performance was actually her first set ever. Unbelievable.

Dario Bronco showed some singer-songwriter muscle.

Harry Katz and The Pistachios turned up the choir rock.

El Cid: Isla June, Alicia Blue, French Mouth

It was off to El Cid to catch some bands on a Sunday afternoon. French Mouth opened up the afternoon with some rocks sounds.

Isla June is a musician I've wanted to catch for a few months now. Her sound soothed the soul.

Alicia Blue brought the singer-songwriter magic.

Bootleg Theater: Izaak Opatz with Austin Leonard Jones and Nick Flessa Band

It was off to the Bootleg Theater to catch Izaak Opatz's final residency night. It was a night of western mountain inspired Americana music.

Austin Leonard Jones opened up the night, throwing out the occasional joke.

Nick Flessa Band followed up with a well received brass band song towards the end of the set.

Izaak Opatz closed out his residency with some power jumps that I never seemed able to capture.

Cosmic Vinyl: Hawk Percival & Friends and Sam Morrow

I happened to notice that Hawk Percival and Friends was playing a set at Cosmic Vinyl. I decided to head on out as I always enjoy her music. Of course, duh, I accidentally headed to Permanent Records first. After a quick realization that this was the wrong spot, I re-directed myself down the street. I really can't get enough of her vocals.

Sam Morrow opened the afternoon for me. He did a solo set. I'm not sure if I got a real good feel for his music as he mentioned that he usually plays with a full band and an electric guitar versus the acoustic guitar he used for this particular set. No matter, it was an enjoyable set.
