Totally love Cate Le Bon. Reminds me of Laurie Anderson sorta, only more melodic.
Casey (host) 10:36:39 AM
I love her too! Honestly my favorite act from last night. Of course all 3 bands could have headlined in their own right
ROFFLESTOMP 10:47:00 AM
That's a really awesome lineup! I like some of JB's stuff, but noticed they do a ton of covers, or at least they used to. I think Le Bon is simply brilliant though and would have been worth the price of admission for me alone, but that was a good deal.
Casey (host) 10:52:04 AM
Yeah I had see her before but she's only played smaller venues whenever I've seen her headline around here
Christine 11:22:07 AM
Black Moth Super 🌈!
Christine 11:22:19 AM
Sounding good, Casey.
Christine 11:22:52 AM
Good morning, all. I hope Ossy is listening. He loves BMSR.
Casey (host) 11:25:59 AM
Love BSMR. Huge stepping stone away from me being a classic rock kid as a teen
Casey (host) 11:26:41 AM
Also very appropriate soundtrack for cruising around during a heatwave
TAndy 11:29:52 AM
This track truly is incredible. Greetings from Seaside. Went to Island Beach but the greenhead flies were being assholes
Casey (host) 11:34:41 AM
Love the thought of playing free jazz through a speaker on the beach

I think we all fell in love with Iggy Pop a little. 💞
Casey (host) 11:47:56 AM
Speaking for myself, yes
