Trashcan Sinatras/Spanish for 100 @ Schubas (May 1st)
Way late but I don’t want to forget completely about this show. Spanish for 100 opened, which was ok. From what I remember kinda gentle pop, much in line with the Trashcan’s but not up to their caliber. The harmonies were weak and the songs were not all that catchy. Its always frustrating when a band you really like brings along a band that you haven’t heard of, and you don’t end up liking them. Oh well, everything cant be perfect.
The Trashcan Sinatras on the other hand were great. We had never seen them before but have been listening to “I’ve seen everything” and the newest “Weightlifting” for quite some time. They have the most beautiful harmonies on those records, combined with great hooks and dense arrangements. Live they were just as good. The sound was well balanced, all of them played perfectly, and they crowd was very well behaved. We couldn’t ask for a better show.
