Two months ago (on Friday, July 24th to be exact) my husband and I hit the Downtown scene to check out 'The Opening' at The Loft. Local bands competed for the opening slot for Modest Mouse on September 9th at Pipeline Cafe. Some of the bands featured were: Our Distance, Girlfriends, Painted Highways and Clones of the Queen. Unfortunately, I didn't make it in time to see all of the bands. I caught the tail end of Girlfriends' set... they ended up being the winners of The Opening battle... too bad I didn't get to see their whole set. The only band I saw from beginning to end was Painted Highways, and I gotta say... I enjoyed them very much! Hope to see more of them around. The other day, Michael of Painted Highways came across my "Tuning Everything Out" photo in my flickr photostream... he said it took him a minute to realize that it was his arm in the picture... wanking with his pedals at The Loft that night. I had taken a bunch of photos of them that night, but hadn't uploaded them yet. I promised him I'd upload them to flickr... and as of today, the pictures are up as promised. Check them out here!
