the start... is the hardest part.

Last night i saw the Lucksmiths play at the Hi-ho, with about 8 other people. they're an australian band who play warm, subdued indie-pop with some of the most literate, intelligent, story-telling songwriting i know. Why and how they ended up playing New Orleans on this tour, and why at the Hi-Ho, I have no idea. But it was wonderful, beautiful music, and though there was hardly anyone there, we were all clearly fans - so they played an amazing show anyway. The newly remodled hi-ho has high ceilings and good acoustics, so it even sounded great. Maybe it was the music, maybe it was all that PBR - but i got the distinct feeling of being in exactly the right place at exactly the right moment - something that hasn't happened for me in a while.
