Mark Pickerel former dummer of the Screaming trees opened. He had a very cool dark Sun Records vibe to him and he’s cute. He was also a nice guy – after the show he told me to email his record company with the stuff I shot. Link to their site with the video I shot.

His Cd is worth getting and apparently his dad drew the amazing cover below.

Opener Mark Pickerel was very good. I love it when it when I get exposed to new music I like in an opening act. He had a neat, dark Sun Records vibe. He is the former drummer for The Screaming Trees. And also a nice guy based on the short conversation we had after the show.

Robyn Hitchcock was in excellent form…during his banter he brought up the recent excellent story that has come out about elephants going crazy.
