I Beat Those Butterflies I Did

I've got my stage legs back. *wink*

It was a great night.

This time around, the Bedroom Musician Series showcased 1 band, and 3 singer songwriters that were all great in their own right.

First up were Sad Angry Babies. They aren't new, per se, but still, not exactly mainstream. You'd know them if you were into the local indie music scene. Contrary to their name, they are neither sad, angry or babies. One day, I'll have to figure out the story behind it. Their songs are actually quite snappy and catchy.

Then came OJ. I must say he wasn't what I expected. His songs were haunting, beautiful. In fact, I'd have bet that he would be the kind to play the songs that S.A.B. were playing. Hmm.. I got a free CD off of him. :P

Christian Palencia (yes, Palencia.), who dubs himself "the OTHER Palencia", brother to Mia. He is only 13. I hadn't seen Chris since he was a little itty baby. And what a pleasant surprise it was to hear him sing. *sigh* I was born 10 years too early, methinks. Christian, I heart you!

Next up was a familiar name, Shannon Shah. He's been around for awhile now, and seeing him perform live was amazing. He's got a flair for both the whimsical and serious. Sort of appropriate that he's featured here in Serious Scribbles and Silly Sayings. :)

*sigh* No sites on Chris and Shannon I found that had samples of their songs.

As for Mia's (and incidentally, ours, since Dede and I were singing backup for her), well, what can I say. She's always amazing. I can't say anymore else I'll sound starstruck, which is so dorky since she's a close friend. :P






But of course, what would a get together be without a lil cam whoring. :)





Nessa, you're pictures aren't here cause they're all with Scott! Tell him to send it to me ASAP! :D

I know I promised videos, but I'm afraid Adam hasn't gotten them ready yet. Soon, people, soon.
