"This next song is about whiskey," Bryant said. It must have been "Sour Mash" then! The perfect antisocial drinking song (but in a good way.) Then, they cut into "Suicide Blonde," which Bryant told me was inspired by a bad relationship and the movie 23. Vagabond Gods ended their set with "Turkish," which is one helluva an album opener. It turns out, it's also a really great note to end on.

I couldn't stick around for Snake! Snake! Snakes! Because things happened and stuff and oh well. But I did see them last week at some rained-out gig on Roosevelt Row and they're all alive, they still play really well, and I'm sure I'll be seeing them again soon.

Tonight was a good night. My ears are ringing for a good reason.

Last Night: Vagabond Gods, Snake! Snake! Snakes!, Murdoch, Them Savages, Field Tripp.
The Crowd: Pretty scattered, pretty tough. Roughly half the folks were either in bands, the other half I wouldn't want to get in a fight with.
Overheard: "Yeah, I definitely don't have the lung capacity for THAT."
Personal Bias: I swear I'm not partial to Bryant or anything, he's only the musician I'm most familiar with at this show, but he is kind of prolific and stuff.

"huh huh being stupid is cool and being smart is NERDY"

you even got the opening band totally wrong. nice reporting skills.

unfortunately, what you post online as a writer for the PHOENIX NEW TIMES represents the people of phoenix. some of us aren't OK with you making us look like a bunch of uneducated hicks.

and i don't have to yell at my computer screen. as you can see, i'm correct, and people listen to me. so thank YOU for making the corrections.

@hello Oh bummer. Wasn't trying to be an "uneducated hick" about it, just joshing. I do appreciate the correction; I was just goofing around.

As for the opening band, I'll have to check with the writer assigned to this show. We're actually two different folks, but with all sincerity, I do appreciate when commenters call it like they see it.
