last night @ lola's

dunno whether it was the cold, the economy, or the burning hotels playing at the moon, but last night's stumptone show was sparsely attended. pity -- besides having made one of the great rekkids of the year, they're always different, varying their sets, adding new tunes, and evolving their material in performance. second-billed, austin's unbearables were notable not just for having as many ppl onstage as there were in the rest of the club (well, nearly), including a horn section (flute and trumpet/reeds) and a realistic (!) synthesizer (from radioshack!). their gtrist-singer had a silvertone 1478 like i usedta play in high school. he said he paid four bills for it (prolly at now-defunct workhorse guitars in austin, where they sold nothing but old silvertones, kays, and danelectros and nothing for under $400 -- funny because ppl used to throw those things away). anyway, my sweetie figured out why her pics from last time came out blurry and she got some better shots, which in the fullness of time will be posted on her photo blog.

ADDENDUM: pics are up now. check 'em!
