I have pictures again! Not really much to report about the pre-live band music this month. We were sitting kind of far away from the stage, though, because we didn't get there early enough, so I missed a few band names.
Unfortunately, there was some issue with Bear Lake playing this month, so they're supposed to play next month. Instead, we saw Billy Brandt, who is very country. Sudjee described his music as "country-fried steak" (that is likely misquoted. Sudjee, correct that, please).
They were all very talented. According to Brent, the band are all are professional musicians who play as The Basement as a side project, which I guess is where their name comes from. I think my favorite song that I heard was "Mexico," again, probably because it was less twangy. Overall, I think I liked Katie Grace better, although The Basement did do very well with their harmonies, a fact which was brought to my attention by Sudjee. And when they busted out the harmonica, they sounded a lot like some early 90s bands, for instance Gin Blossoms.
