hmmm, i thought Klaus Nomi was dea... oh, i see. it's "Knomi." i get it.
tho, for a sec I thought the recent death of one popular music figure meant the resurrection of another.
I'm excited for Ray Lamontagne, et al, at the Bowl... but if last sunday was any indication, i'm not sure the openers will know how to work such a large, outdoor, crowd. Which is too bad since I love J Lewis.
it's always very challenging for the openers at the bowl. not sure if it's a volume issue, a sound guy issue, or what? hopefully Jenny fares better....
