Love is (Blood is) Red

I love the Velour. It is too good for words. What it is doing with the local music scene is astonishing.

Their show on Saturday was delicious. The Valentine's Masquerade was a delight and the set was tragically romantic. Marlee and Hayley Hernandez started with sensual sounds that mesmerized the masked individuals attentively listening to the strums of Marlee's guitar and their harmonic vocals.

Mudbison. I died. That single song on their myspace page does not do them justice, please, please, look them up on the youtube. That is all.

Book on Tape Worm finished the night. He was strangely wonderful and was accompanied by Emily Post (Emily's last name has escaped my mind, and, since she is so classy, I decided to lend her the name of one of the most elegant people society has ever been honored to know.) Also, a harpist and cellist strummed along.

Nothing particularly spectacular happened afterward, it was just a lovely evening that ended at the Velour. It never ceases the amazement.
