Loyal Plastic Robots - Kicking It . . .

Yes, this is the photograph I wanted to put first.  I like the shadow and light, making you wonder, who is this, in this tight groove? It is our own, Danny Mac !!!!

I have been out to photograph The Robots, however, I have failed to post.  I am finding a lot of photography to do.  Clicking the shutter is the main part of the experience, and I am getting a lot of experience.  Getting it to print, well, let us just say, I may need a manager.

As always, The Robots brought in a good crowd, and the band JAM'd all night.  I missed the first hour because of an exhibit opening for one of my photos.  Sounded like this first hour was the hour to be there, however, they sure left me something for when I got there.

Here are some photos for you to enjoy.

































I love these guys.  Down home, hard working, talented, group of musicians who just like JAM'n.  When they take it to their limit, they are unbeatable.  Please check these guys out when you get a chance.  You can find more on the Loyal Plastic Robots, or just "The Robots", by clicking on this link.

Pleased to be Pleased by the Please, Please Me Band

This band chose to put Chicago on their tour again, and I am glad they did.  I first heard them at the Elbo Room several months ago (with Pork 'N Beans), and again this evening.  Jessie kicked it for us this time, which made this evening a joy to be there.

Let me introduce you to them . . .


the Please, Please Me

with

Jessie - Vocals / Guitar / Harmonica / Drum

Alissa - Cello / Vocal

Agustin - Drums / Vocal / Sound
























These ladies, this guy, are great.  There music is smooth, meaningful, fun to listen to, and the band is fun to watch perform.  I commented on facebook that we need to get this band out of Chicago, and into NW Indiana.  So if you know of a venue that fits this band (like maybe Paul Henry's Art Gallery), let me know.

I do like them.  They have charisma, charm, talent.  Each are individuals who voice their art for themselves, and as a group they do it well as one.  Please checkout their website and listen to their music.  Like I say, we need to support the arts to keep us alive!!!
