I just got in from the The Turnstiles show... I work with two members of the band! I had been given a warning about the venue. Let’s just say it’s not the kind of place you’d want to wear a New York Yankees hat to. I mean the place is called “Puckett’s Farm Equipment.” But it wasn’t quite what I had pictured. I expected a mechanical bull, people getting into brawls over who the best NASCAR driver was, and a cage in front of the band so that people could throw beer bottles at them. As it turned out, it contained none of those things, and was actually kinda cozy except for all the cigarette smoke. This was my first time hearing the band, and they were pretty good, especially since they were missing two of six members, and Jon was playing bass for the first time in like ten years. I wonder how many other bands there are out there made up of computer programmers and MBA’s? I’m not sure what genre the music would be classified in—Michael once described it as “Americana”. Not country, and not quite southern rock, but it seemed to fit in at a place with “farm equipment” in the name of it. I never quite know how to end my blog posts when I’ve run out of things to say...
