We liked last night's Brother concert so much that we went to see them again tonight, this time in Antioch at the Wallace Arms. Julia didn't come, but Carrie from ICSI came instead, and a good time was had by all. I gotta say I had a better time last night, mainly because the Arms were kinda cramped, and we got there too late to find seats. Also, the music was way too loud. I don't understand the desire to play so loud that you can't hear the melody because your ears are ringing. Maybe I'm just weird.

Still, it was fun to see the same band play two different sets on successive nights. Hamish and Angus like joking around with the audience, with heavy use of innuendo; I think they toned this down a bit last night, since it was a "family" concert (read: there were six-year-olds running around the grassy audience area).

Again, after the show, the band hung around chatting with the audience and signing autographs. Shweta gave Diz a Guster album. It'll be interesting to see what they do with that. (We plan to go see Guster in November, and I expect she'll find some way to slip them a Brother album.)
