Capt. Soularcat plays Jacksonville

Brothers Bar played host to the Rome, Ga., band Captain Soularcat Friday night. It was my first time seeing them and didn't know what to expect. According to their drummer Travis Kline it was the first time they have played Jacksonville.

The two-set show was solid and they played mostly originals with a few covers from the Meters to the Grateful Dead. The highlight being a tasty rendition of the Meters staple "Cissy Strut."

They were very tight all around but I couldn't help but think they needed an additional guitarist. Another observation was the fact that there couldn't have been more than 30 people there in total. That could be construed as depressing or intimate depending on how you look at it. I'll stick with this show being intimate because there was some banter between the crowd and band.

Not a bad show and I'll most likely see them if they come back.

Pygmies at Brothers

I messed up this week.

The Velcro Pygmies -- my favorite college rock bar band -- returned to Brother's up in Jacksonville on Tuesday night and I whimped out and missed it. Went to bed. How's that for lame?

The Pygmies are bar-band legends. They play all across the Southeast, they're eternally famous in college towns -- hence, Jacksonville -- and they virtually own the Florida and Alabama Gulf Coast during Spring Break week.

If you were there, let me know how they were. I'm sure they were loud. Good, too.

Hopefully they'll come back to Brother's this fall -- and this time I'll go, you can count on that.

The Pygmies' Web site's pretty good. For a price, even you can own a Pygmie T-shirt.
