ahhhh, missed the show last nite. I had to work late and by the time we were done, I didn't have enough energy to cross the river into northern Va to catch the show. I wish Tommy could get a gig in DC, it'd be much more convenient. But the Iota Club he plays at is actually a pretty nice venue in a good part of Arlington, with lots of bars and restaurants around there.

I caught Tommy's show last night in Arlington. It was a pretty amazing experience. Tommy opened solo with Perfect's "Seven Days A Week". The feel and energy was amazing. He dove into some tracks from Village Gorilla Head, quickly joined by his fiance on vocals and hand percussion and Mike Gent of the Figgs (who also opened) on electric guitar.
Songs I remembered him playing are "Not A Moment Too Soon", "Without A View", and "Light of Day". He played some tracks from the new record, including freshly released "One Man Mutiny". "Match Made in Hell" is a fun love (anti-love) song and the feel of the new songs would stack nicely up against VGH striking a good balance between laid back (country-ish even) and upbeat. Of course, this is all judging from stripped-down acoustic based numbers.
They pulled off a nice cover of the Clash's "Hateful", played a scattering of Perfect including selections from the Squirrels Play Chicken EP, and closed off the night with Bash and Pop's "Friday Night is Killing Me" before climbing ontop of the bar to play the Patridge Family's "C'mon Get Happy" complety unplugged.
Tommy was in high spirts all night, drinking his share of whiskey. Afterwards he hung around to sign plenty of "Let It Be" sleeves and in general chat with fans. The crowd was a great mix of young and old. It's amazing to see how his music has touched so many people over the years. Definitely worth the 3 hour drive.

Thanks for the show review - would have loved to hear that Hateful cover and everything else! |

been busy with work of late....after reading bside's review of the show at Iota, I'm kind of pissed that I didn't hump it across the river to catch the show.
ah well. work is the curse of the drinking class, as they say....

Didn't Tommy release a version of "Hateful" on a Clash covers comp?
