The week of not going out hit a hitch once we heard from Aaron that Violet Wild were playing at the new Teakwoods (for all extents and purposes the new Long Wongs, if there is such a thing). Which was fine by me, especially since they were playing a happy hour set - 6-8pm, which is actually such a perfect time.

Photobox ImageAs expected by me, it was Bobby and Josh acoustic. Tonight was the first time I've witnessed that line up, due to the missing them billed as Mink Rebellion at the Last Exit Anniversary bash a few years ago. Definitely a great pairing, and I think I'd pretty much be as happy to see Josh and Bobby acoustic as the whole band.

Their cover of Better Than Ezra's Good was quite cool. I think the most surprising thing they played was Sick In Bed. It was a request, and shocking not from Aaron. All of their originals translated acoustically extremely well. I was actually surprised by how good Hitchicker worked acoustic. Rare Disease was also really good stripped down.

To boot, Teakwoods has Baja Wednesdays - $2 Coronas all day. That combined with Bobby & Josh from 6 - 8 makes it all really good. Now if they could just be at 7th & Mill, rather than up in Phoenix we'd really have something going! [wink]
