Ben Kweller @ Southpaw July 31st
Current mood: cold Category: Music
I went to see Ben Kweller @ Southpaw July 31st. for 'On My Way' night from his 3 night stint playing all 3 records, each night playing one of his records in it's entirety. I went on 2nd record night!
It was also a pleasent supprise that Adam Green opened. That was exciting! An all acustic performance, playing a bunch of stellar new tunes as well as old. He even sported 'Losing On A Tuesday' (one of my personal favs!) Now i have to get him to play 'Hairy Women.'
Ben's oncore consisted of fans picking songs out of the customed 'On My Way' box where we exibited one of the 'special' jamed out versions of a song slated for 3rd record night. I forget wich song right now but it was totally bluesed out!
So, apparently this was also the night that was FILMED... and here it is!!!

I really like BK's music. There's just something about him and his music that I feel he and I operate on similar plains...
or do we just shop at the same clothing stores?
