Lodi - Creedance Clearwater Revival

A great song by one of the great writers, John Fogarty, this is a song about the struggling musician and the shitty little venues he has to play when first starting out. Lodi is a small town in California not far from where CCR got their start, and one of the first places they performed. Apparently, according to the band, there was only about 10 people at the show and they wanted the music turned down. Still, a great song that I really feel shows the humble beginnings of an incredible band.

The Royal We - Silversun Pickups

I went to Silversun tonight and it was phenomenal. Great music and an incredible show just cemented in my mind how much talent this band has. The Royal We has become my favorite song by them so I was not disappointed when it was the song they played the best live. Hailing from California, this band has a very smooth feel on their second album as compared to a more rocking first album. This band is worth a listen and should be a definite inspiration to any female bassists, as Nikki is in a league of her own.
