Lovely Animal

Saint Bernard of Love is Michael D. Wieland. He was one of the two acts who opened for Saturday Looks Good To Me when they were last in town. So here he is with a couple of part-time lovers (Ryan Hough of Golden Famile and Jose).

Before you ask: No, I don't know why this picture of Wieland is in black and white ... I pushed a button somewhere, I guess ...



Ryan Hough momentarily ditches the violin for some percussive duties.



Jose multitasks on keys and guitar.



There was a Velvet Underground feel to the music (Wieland's vocal delivery encourages the comparison). Haven't heard much from them lately, but you can check his website for sound clips.

• Show reminder: Castor play a rare gig at the Aloha Room tonight.
