I know it’s been like 3 days but I got to see Ghostland Observatory at House of Blues on Sunday night and WOW! I got off work at the last minute and I have awesome friends who let me tag along. I had heard of the group but I hadn’t ever heard their music so it was a VERY pleasant surprise when they finally took the stage. I’m not sure if it was the laser-light-show accompaniment, the braided pigtails worn by Aaron Behrens, the long Dracula-style cape worn by Thomas Turner, the way Aaron danced in a manner that could only remind you of Jim Morrison or the delicious Jim Beam I was drinking, but I was intoxicated by the whole evening.
We arrived fashionably late, as usual, so I only got to see Mother’s Anthem and Before the Fall (only two of many bands on the bill that night). I’ve seen Before the Fall more times than I can count so I knew they were going to be good, but this was my first time to see Mother’s Anthem. GREAT band. They are super polished and they know what they are doing for sure. Plus they rock. They play at Firewater on Jan 26 if you want to check them out.
As for tonight: I hear a rumor that there’s a pajama party at Reno’s in Deep Ellum. Drinking in public in my PJs?? I’m in!!
