This weekend I went with Adrian, the graphic designer for Myachi, to Brooklyn for a show at the Cameo Gallery. We went to see The London Souls, an amazing underground rock band who are a throwback to the oooold school rock 'n' roll that I love (seriously, check them out, you won't be sorry). The venue was packed, and isn't much more than a bare room with a stage on one end. The set up was really good, the acoustics were great considering the location (it was pure noise bouncing off the walls back at you) and the lighting set up was subtle, but effective. What was interesting were the musicians that Adrian introduced me to - some awesome up and coming artists. This show (like the Joshua Bell concert) was exactly what I needed to remind me of my passion for music. One of the artists I met was Mike Del Rio, a personal friend of Adrian's, who mixes rock/alternative music with beats and his own lyrics. Another was Tommy Eichman, the manager of Alexa Ray Joel (Billy Joel's daughter) who was also in attendance. A third, Johnny Boy, along with Del Rio and Tommy play in Alexa Ray's band. Overall, a fantastic night of great music and awesome people!
