under the paving stones

Went to see The Like last night at Richard's. It was the smallest crowd I've seen at the venue. Around 100 people. The balcony was closed off and they didn't have a coatcheck for the evening.

We arrived to only catch half a song from Catlow.

Giant Drag was the next opener. The LA duo has been getting some good reviews lately.


Annie was very funny throughout the set with some quirky comments and stories. They had a nice raw sound and played a good version of Chris Isaak's Wicked Game.


Micah was rocking it on drums with one hand and keyboards/bass with the other hand at times. Their set lasted 30mins.

The Like consists of three girls, all with musical families. They have dads that are musicians and producers.

The LA based trio features music filled catchy pop-rock riffs and also some good harmonies along the way. Tennessee was hammering it out pretty hard on drums during the performance. Set time was 35mins.

They're definitely a band to look out for, and I see big things happening for them over the next few years.
