Beach House Play Two Local Shows
It was a good weekend of live music. Yuck and Smith Westerns on Friday night at the Echo - Yuck really impressed me and Smith Westerns were good (as expected). Apex Manor put on a great show at the Satellite on Saturday. Lots of really good musicians in the band (and a great cover of Nilsson's "Jump Into the Fire" and a surprisingly good cover of the Outfield's "Your Love").

I double recommend Henry Rollins spoken work. Saw it last yr and Mr. Rollins always makes for an entertaining evening.... Ill be there on Sunday :)
I saw him do his spoken word about 15 years ago, but haven't kept up on it lately. He was definitely entertaining back then..
