Gimme no lip, child

Third band on the bill at Irene's May 7 was Good2Go. Singer Maureen Hogan had surgery on her lower lip, and apologized in advance for any lack of elocution - apparently the f-word was out of the question - but I didn't notice any difference (and I mean that in a good way).

Ms. Hogan and her hair.



Reg Allen on bass and beer-truckin'.



Gilles Mantha on drums; this drum stick twirl would have worked great if someone hadn't ruined his concentration with a camera flash. Wasn't me, honest!



Christian Lapensee on vintage guitar.



Reg and Maureen. Apart from making one wander, those boots are apparently good for holding extra drumsticks as well.



Good2Go welcome your feedback.



Rocking on out!



Good2Go play Irene's June 4, and no doubt have other shows in the works ....

• Show reminder ... yes, on a Sunday!: Merle Knurling and The Silent K play The Manx accompanied by Mississippi Grover. It's free, so more money for bar tips. Roll Gypsy Roll, Lindsay Ferguson, The Habit and Buckshot play Zaphod Beeblebrox; this is a Bluesfest talent showcase.
