St. Patrick's Day. OK Go rolled up to the Phoenix Hill Tavern (Louisville, KY), ready to drop some Erin-Go-Brah science on a welcoming crowd. Unfortunately, 99% of Louisville was packed into the strip of Irish bars a few blocks down the street. No matter...the rock was still unleashed.
Phoenix Hill is a mega-complex with something like five stages and 27 bars. Upstairs there was an early 90's cover band playing. It's safe to say their room wasn't packed because we actually heard them scream at their audience, "C'mon Louisville... WAKE UP!!!" Ouch.
I've never been to Ann Arbor before. I'm glad we went there last night. Fantastic audience. We also got to play with New York band Longwave, who are super freaking awesome. OK Go toured with them a couple of years ago, but this was my first time checking them out. They have a new album coming out in May called "There's a Fire" (Sound familiar? They say it's not a reference...). Unfortunately, this was our only show with them, but definitely check them out if you get the chance.
By some stroke of insane luck, one of my roommates from my senior year of college randomly attended the show last night. I haven't really talked to him since graduation, so needless to say, my mind-thought was completely psyched out.
