emmet swimming with Georgia Avenue at IOTA Club & Cafe, Arlington, VA, USA

Review:

From the emmet swimming concert archives:
Great set at Iota Saturday. Georgia Avenue was good, but I was waiting to see Erik and Todd play together (it’s only been six years since I’ve seen an acoustic show of theirs). In contrast to Dana’s report from the Iota show in March, the crowd seemed very pro emmet – not much talking, and a lot of singing along. “So Lonely” was a crowd request, and went over well. “All Fun And Games” was a song (cover?) that Erik and Todd used to do before Erik joined emmet. When I talked to Todd, he wasn’t sure about new dates for emmet or Quitter, but did hint that you might want to keep New Year’s Eve free.

Robbie Schaefer with Brindley Brothers at Jammin Java, Vienna, VA, USA

Review:

From my blog (originally from the edhead mailing list):
No EFO on stage (they were all in the audience, though), but a great show from Robbie. “Farewell To Saint Delores” is a Dave Carter song that Robbie said he requested at Dave’s last show, also in Vienna. High points for me were the two songs he debuted in March: “Fly” and “Independence, Indiana” – can’t wait for EFO versions of those. It was also the first time I saw his version of “Over The Hills And Far Away” – great stuff!

Quitter UK at IOTA Club & Cafe, Arlington, VA, USA

Review:

From the emmet swimming concert archives:
The show was excellent. I think this is the band Todd has been threatening us with for a while. It’s Todd on vocals and rhythm, Chuck Andrada on lead guitar and lead vox on a couple songs, Scott Brotemarkle on bass and background vox, plus lead on one song (and was going to play lead guitar on one song dropped for time), David Strickland on accordian, keyboard, and background vox, and Eric Vislay (who used to play with Scott in Biohio) on drums. The set was split between new songs and olders songs and covers. I liked “Off Key Choir” with the keyboards – added more texture, and Chuck dropped a sweet solo into “Not Enough You”. Favorite Todd quote: “This is our debut, kinda of a cotillion. I was going to wear something low-cut, but I didn’t want to look slutty.”
