So I went to the Luther Wright and the Wrongs on Friday at the Grad House. McAuslan's St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout on tap all evening. Dandy.

I guess you would call the band "alt country". Alt is a funny word as it it meant to mean "new-fangled" or "more reverential than ironic yet still somewhat ironic". Conversely, when referencing brewed suppables, alt just means old and references a style of pre-lager ale brewed at Koln Düsseldorf. [Ed.: Where is the html for an "o with umlaut" when you need it?].

Anyway, I liked the equipment, especially the 1950's amp Luther himself was using miked up through a rental stack. Only about 75 at the show but that makes for a pretty much packed room. I noted that white Adidas basketball sneakers and Swedish nike baseball-style hats are not in, except in my life. I must have been having a pretty good time because at break when I told the lead guitarist at the bar that it was a pretty good show he called me "Mr. Smiley Face".

Here are a few brief seconds-long movies (in the dark) of bits of the concert to give you a sense of what they sound like live:
