Dad deposited seven dollars in my account under the guise of 'Lifestyle Funds: Harry Howard', so I was more than happy to live out his dreams and wishes on Saturday by heading out the Builders Arms to witness the Harry Howard Band's first performance.
Harry Howard manned the door at his own gig, and he spoke to me, "Hey you!", because I am stupid and forgot to get my arm stamped. He's very good looking. My friend and I then sat on a couch and spent the early days of the gig talking about Dave Graney and wondering if he could smell the Mt. Gambier on my friend (they both grew up there). We walked past him on a tram earlier in the week and he turned around (in his TRIPLE denim ensemble- jeans, denim jacket, denim hat), so I'm pretty sure he can.
Stu Thomas opened and he was really good, knocking over some Johnny Cash along side some of his own. The next bad was Bad Orchestra, they were really good for some songs and really shit for other songs. The songs where the girl sung where the worst- lucky she had nice legs because her singing sucked.
Harry Howard Band was really good! They had Dave Graney and Claire Moore on bass and drums, and Edwina Preston on synth and this cute little machine called a stylophone. I hope they play again so I can take my Dad.
Some more 'Lifestyle Funds' could be nice too.
