Lynx and Beats Antique in Athens
So, being too impatient to wait for the Beats Antique show tomorrow night in town, 80 and I decided to head on over to Athens and catch that show too.
The she was held at the New Earth Music Hall which is pretty small and, all in all, didn't have much of a crowd. I had ample time to check out merch and get really bored with the first act. Thankfully, once they were done, it only took minutes for Lynx to set up.
If you aren't familiar with Lynx, I think you should be. She sort of a swirly trip hop artist who also happens to do a really good beat box. I came to her through Lynx and Janover and always thought, unfairly, that Janover did the beat boxing until I first saw them perform in LA. Anyway, her new album has some great tracks that she plays and it's only available at the merch table (not online), so bring some cash.
There was no surprise that Beats Antique was totally awesome. Zoe Jakes has taken up drum, but still dances, so that's neat. The did a great job of playing a good mix off all 4 cds, which was nice. The bass was so heavy that when I'd put my hand on the stage, my internal organs would vibrate. Woo! And, I was right up at the front and center of the stage. AWESOME!!!
So, aside from great music and great dancing, the only thing that would improve the night would be to have one of my favorite belly dancers take notice of me. Oh, wait, she did! During her veil song, she put the veil down and drew her hands around my head. Then, another time when she was drumming, she squatted in front of me and yelled "Hey!" while smiling. The people around me asked me if I was involved with her. Hee eee hee. I wish.
