Fun rock n' roll night tonight, once that has you running all over town.

We started out at Yucca to see Ghetto Cowgirl acoustic. I wasn't expecting it, but it was 3 out of the 4 guys, including Serifini. Kinda a cool change from just Marc & Thomas.

After their performance, it was off to 910 Live for the Black Moods show. Annoyingly, the band had been moved from the 11:00pm to 11:45pm slot, which meant we'd probably miss Tramps and Yucca. And that we had to wait for the band to go on.

A really fun show. I was admittedly surprised by the lack of old tunes in the set. With the exception of Tall, It's A Drug and Sweet Virgina at the end. Much like the last time we saw them, the first song seemed like it was going to be Shut Up And Dance. Which would be a complaint with the new stuff, a number of the songs do seem very similarly to other songs.

About 3/4 of the way through, Josh called Bobby Scott up to the stage. Which was both awesome, and potentially not the smartest move. Because, while I was thoroughly enjoying myself, the moment Bobby got on stage, the lack of stage presence leading up to that point was painfully clear, if it hadn't been up until that point.

The slightly drunk birthday boy got up, strutted and postured, and pretty much gave a good example of why I was destined to be a Bobby Scott fan. [smile] And why he was born to be in a hair metal cover band. The guy rocks. They did three covers with Bobby, including I Need To Know and Billy Jean, which was a lot of fun, and really had the audience fired up. It was however sad that half the room exited when Bobby exited the stage. I've got to be honest, I don't understand the mentality behind paying a cover and sitting outside while the band is playing. Maybe it's just me.

The Moods finished up with Sweet Virgina, and for us it was time to hit the road, back to Yucca. Thankfully we still got to catch a decent slice of Tramps & Thieves when we got back there - and some of our favorite tunes. Emmett was visibly happy to see us when he did spot us. And there was certainly a party atmosphere going on at Yucca, with so many people dancing and what not. Although we would have like it if the Black Moods had played at 11 and we hadn't missed any of Tramps, but all in all it was a pretty successful night of rock n' roll!
