Broadside
2008-01-27 | Filed under Music |
We went to the Broadside Electric concert last night. Much fun, intimate venue. (I thought Milkboy was a coffee place first, but apparently it was music first, then coffee.) With a year since their last gig, the band was a bit rusty—often hilariously so—but the energy was high. This is the third time we’ve seen them live. (Which is twice more than I’ve seen any other band, not counting dance musicians, and probably a sign that I should get out more.)
Picking up on this blog’s recent Oddball Instruments theme, check out the list of instruments the band’s used in the past eighteen years. I get a kick out of the Chapman Stick, in part because it’s the only instrument name I can think of that’s a registered trademark.

How is it when I lived in Philly I was never able to permeate this alternative and infinitely more interesting universe you inhabit. And I am Scot-Irish. All I did was look for boys in New Hope and eat cheesesteaks and tastykakes from what I remember.
In all fairness, I don’t typically write about it every time I have a cheesesteak, no matter how delicious. And since I already have Larry, I can’t be bothered about the boys in New Hope.
Please don’t write about cheesesteaks at all because I just couldn’t take it. My husband was a boy from New Hope so I strongly recommend them to people who don’t have Larry.
It sounds like looking for boys in New Hope was time well spent.
