The main attraction

The Magnolia Electric Co. show must have gotten off to an early start, because I only caught the last three songs by local opener Greenfield Main. But at least I got to enjoy songs about hunting, suicidal Thai lovers and a Neil Young cover (of Walk On).

Jon Bartlett, king of Kelp!



Smiley Rolf Klausener (who incidentally will be performing with The Acorn at Club SAW August 19)!



Smiley Jon Lomow!



Not-so-smiley John F. Higney Jr.!



Country-rock action!



Mighty fine as always.

• Show reminder: It's an instrumental death match between Polaris veterans as The Flaps (featuring John F. Higney) and The Empiricals go head to head at Babylon. The Botched Suicides and Lefty McRighty and The Boxcar Cadavers bring happy thoughts to The Aloha Room.
