Great weekend. Congrats to You Me & Iowa on their hugely successful CD release show on Saturday. Also, congrats to those who celebrated birthdays over the weekend including Hell Ya! Heather Peggs and I Make This Sound's Jonathan Price (pictured in all his manliness above). Photos from some stuff are up.
Monthly residencies come to an end. They've all been very impressive. Big props must be given out to Maria DeLuca for not only working her ass off for her band Le Switch's Monday residency and west coast tour this month, but guest performing on the CD release shows of Les Blanks (last week at Spaceland) and You Me & Iowa (last Saturday at Spaceland). Not to mention, organizing all the kickball activities that have been going on for the past few months. Charlie Chu's got some great photos of the Le Switch residency here. We'll be stopping the Le Switch residency again tonight and so should you...
