At Henotic, Oct. 3, Meester Lethbridge’s Birthday benefit drew approximate 66 people who enjoyed several bands, including a cool piano powered Brit pop band called Elias, who tapped into the well of Radiohead and other modern British pop music. There was a lot of energy and enthusiasm happening on stage. Later that night Pilot Speed carried that torch and had the crowd clustered in front of the stage dancing away.
Upstairs in GCBC Lounge there were several bands as well, including The New Weather Machine who, as always, had a lot of energy and a early ’70s David Bowie/Mott the Hoople sound down.
