Monday Roundup #73

Someday this space might be mostly concert listings again, but for now Monday roundups might include a romp through the MFS archives, some bandcamp suggestions, nods to a few livestreams, and sundry community notes (email me if you have anything that needs broadcast in the latter category!).


Video hits:

  • Another excellent video from New Chance, this time with animation from Seth Scriver:

Livestream nation:

  • The last (for now) online instalment of Track Could Bend goes live tomorrow (June 7th), and it's a doozy. Three sets of piano and play, starting with Diane Roblin, joined by Glen Hall and Bruce Cassidy. Karen Ng switches instruments and sheds preconceptions and the always-wonderful bUDi (Nicholas Dourado) plays solo and with violinist Kelvin Mansaray. First set goes live at 7 p.m.! (Stay tuned afor details on TCB's transition back to live shows.)

Recording: The Taste

Artist: The Taste

Song: Everything Changed Last Night

Recorded at Burdock Music Hall, June 10, 2015.

The Taste - Everything Changed Last Night

It'd been longer than I realized since I last saw a set from The Taste, but perhaps they seemed close to my mind since I'd gotten a fair amount of mileage out of their Sea Legs EP, which contains some fabulous keyboard-driven pop tunes. On stage, the band, led by Daniel Girard (piano/vox) also includes some other familiar faces, including Jay Anderson on drums and Brent Randall on bass. Tasteful by name and temperament, the group's currency is classic songcraft, with shades of several generations of piano-driven songwriting stretching from the Brill Building to Epic Soundtracks.
