Wednesday night I got to see Harlowe play at the Alberta Rose Theater. They opened up for Kelli Scarr, whom I’d never heard before, but she was a delight. So refreshing to hear a gal that can sing, and I mean really SING!
Both bands rocked the house, and Andrew got a shout out from Ms. Scarr for being a violin player with a Giants hat. “That’s a pretty hot look,” she said. Hehe :P
So go on and give ’em a listen, and maybe I’ll see you at a future show!

on November 11, 2010 10:25 pmCool! Chris looking very Brian Eno-ish over there. I dig his retro/groovy Ray Manzarek-esque keyboard.
BTW: Kudos to the designer of the Harlowe website -- looks great!

on November 11, 2010 11:39 pm[https://www.flickr.com/photos/22755514@N03] I gave up on freelensing after one 20-minute attempt and switched to Alien Skin's Bokeh 2 plugin. It beats getting dust in my camera / spending $2k on a tilt-shift lens. But thanks :)
[https://www.flickr.com/photos/mayrock] Hah! That is so funny because Chris has gotten into Brian Eno in a huge way this year. That keyboard is a Fender Rhodes and apparently is so heavy two people can BARELY move it together. Geez.

on November 11, 2010 11:49 pmGreat minds think alike on Eno! =) I dig the ambient genre, and he's pretty much the father of that style -- but I didn't really get into him either until this year (after casually appreciating his stuff for a long time -- like his soundtracks and collaborations with people like U2).
if you get the chance, you should ask Chris is he got the new Eno album Small Craft on a Milk Sea and what he thinks of it. Personally, I think it's very, very impressive.

on November 12, 2010 12:51 am[https://www.flickr.com/photos/mayrock] I listened to his stuff like Taking Tiger Mountain... in high school but it was definitely a casual affair, too. I'll be sure to ask Chris to swing by here and leave his input about the new album. :)
