Recent Shows...

Michelle and I have been lucky enough to see a number of recent shows that have been very good. This past Wednesday, we got to see GoGoGo Airheart play BoTH. It was a great show with GoGoGo's uniquely Californian and slightly nerdy-disco sound keeping us warm on these slightly chilly SF winter nights. It's amazing what a four guys can do if they're particularly good musicians.

On Thursday, we saw Rasputina at GAMH. Rasputina is two cellists and a drummer; cello rock, essentially. They were very good and even played a wickedly gorgeous cover of Heart's "Barracuda". A friend of ours from Chicago, Ken, loves Rasputina and even follows them to the extent he can... I can sort of see why as they're very good and particularly charismatic.

Finally, a generous benefactor gave us two tickets to see Michael Tilson Thomas conducting Alexander Barantschik on violin and Michael Grebanier on cello tonight at the San Francisco Symphony. They'll be playing a bit of Liszt, Peter Lieberson and Brahms.
