One of the things I got to do in Seattle was go see Robyn Hitchcock & the Venus 3 at the venerable, but now under new management and remodeled, Crocodile Cafe. Robyn's got a special attachment to seattle - the climate's temperate, like the UK, and all his American musician cronies live around here; Peter Buck actually in Seattle (and a part owner of the the Croc, I think), Scott McCaughey in Portland, and I'm not sure where Bill Rieflin lives. The Fellows opened.
It was a fun show, maybe not especially innovative in song selections, but well-played. And, as my brother said, the sound was great. I wonder if there're any recordings? (Only pretty crappy YouTube vid so far... [10/13] aah, they're getting better now; I'll fill in on the songs as I find 'em)
For once, I made a set list:
