Made it out last week to see former Green Magnet School guitarist Chris Pearson's newest gig, playing with local trip-rockers Magic Shoppe at my new favorite venue The Rosebud Diner in Somerville. Why is this my new favorite venue? Where to start? First off you can sit down. Ah, my old bones! Second, you can order a pizza from your nice waitress and eat it while you watch the bands. Third, so far I've not seen a bad show here. The booking is really well done. Though one might think the lack of stage and low fi sound system could hamper the "I am at a show experience" I completely disagree. This is a venue with a nice degree of intimacy with the artists but not one where you are on top of them with no escape. El perfecto.
But anyway, see below for Magic Shoppe footage. Though 28 Degrees Taurus turned in a fantastic set, sadly no video, but everyone should check out their boy-girl arty psych burn. And that drummer, oh he gives me shivers.
