This is actually a post about the second half of last evening's adventures, but I'm posting it first because chronological order is for sissies. (Or for people who are good at those math problems involving sequences. I was an English major, myself.)
Anyway, after providing a lead to the MacDonald Bridge (don't worry, that will make sense later) (well, for a given value of "sense") I turned back around and made my way to Tribeca. Adam and Rob played a set as a duo at first and then were joined by Shaun on drums (I dunno how long he's been playing those songs but he sounded pretty comfortable) and then on the second set they were a four-piece with Mike on bass.
It was a pretty low-key vibe, but the interesting thing was that a few of the arrangements were... I don't know, heavier? than I seem to recall. The evolution from the demo stage is an interesting one anyway, and this kind of thing keeps you paying attention.
Rob mentioned at one point that Chris Denny is hoping to come up to the Maritimes and play a few shows sometime in the reasonably near future. (Please God, not the last week of May!) so although you can't see me right now you can imagine me spinning around in excitement in my chair. I can only imagine how great he'd be live.
Anyway, set list. It was truncated slightly when problems occurred with a guitar that has as far as I know never caused any trouble for anybody ever. It was like Coney biting someone. Even so, it was a good one.
