This is the third Norm’s night and the second I made.
The Three of Us
I’m not certain, but, this may be their second gig. A indie trio with a singer, a bassist, and a drummer.
Each their tracks seems to start with a fun riff but don’t sustain my excitement. I like the bass but I always do.
I always find myself saying this but: it’s a nice start. I can’t see a bands first gig and evaluate them like a long term project4is this unfair? I feel these are finished projects.

I’ve listened to the Doug Tandy EP enough times that it feels like home8I thought that phrase and now can’t stop. If anything, it was jarring that anyone else was there.
The video is from my phone, not a low light camera. My favourite part is at 00:27.
Where is everyone?

Hello, please exchange this money for merchandise, Mr BreakfastMan
I think he was confused, if touched at having a stranger be a fan. We talked a little about his music and he explained that facebook statistics showed that people didn’t see his posts. But he promised to post more. And there’s a music video coming up10edit: It’s out and so pretty. . I’m now writing this in my new SMBS tee; eating my Saturday Morning Breakfast.
