So tonight I went and saw Rodney Branigan at The Cat Club. Chris and I came to the consensus that the only word appropriate is: wow. From start to finish, I was absolutely amazed. I liked the songs I had of his before, but they're nothing like seeing him in concert.

Adam Erick, rhythm guitarist for Live and brother of lead singer Ed Kowalczyk, opened for Rodney. He played a five or six song acoustic set of stuff he's written. Very cool, and I expect to be seeing more in the future from him and his new band "adam & the weight."
