Duke Spirit @ Radio Radio 12/2/08

Most notable about this night at Radio Radio was the packed house. It's a tough sell to get people out on a weeknight in Indianapolis once the temperature dips below freezing, but this band managed a big crowd on a otherwise unremarkable Tuesday. Nice work.

The fact that the performance justified the crowd level was a bonus. The Duke Spirit had an instant rapport with the audience despite the singer's admission that they were wracked with some form of respiratory ailments, and they put on a high-energy show nonetheless. Trashy, driving fun.

Also, I just found out that Dick Dickinson died Monday, and it's a huge loss for the Indianapolis music community, jazz or otherwise. The Chatterbox downtown will have a memorial show Wednesday, December 10th.

In the past few months, the #lnjf show had Bootsy Collins, Meshell Ndegeocello & Victor Wooten sit in w/the Roots. I'm happy. Just sayin'. 18 hours ago

Musicians can now buy seats for instruments, guaranteeing safe travels, elbow room, and maybe an extra bag of peanuts. http://t.co/iaM64uoG 2 days ago
I own amps I love to use, but I also love not moving them & using a perfectly good rig elsewhere. Glad I know folks who make it happen. :) 2 days ago
