Thanks for all this. Could someone speak to “Stand Right,” either quoting a brief lyric or describing the sort of song it seemed musically?
very upbeat positive song, referring to a couple doing right by each other. “I’m gonna stand right by you, you’re gonna stand right by me…” I had heard Lucinda “hum a few bars” of this song on Tuesday night after the Echoplex show – she was talking about how excited she was about all of the new material. it’s a really catchy tune and for some reason reminds me (not reggae at all) of that mick jagger/peter tosh duet of Don’t Look Back (originally a Temptations song, though). Same vibe, for me at least.
some thoughts on last nights show at the cave that they call The Echoplex. when I first walked in they had the disco balls going and they must have been cranking the fog machine for a preshow atmosphere that was a little dizzying. after milling around and then claiming some real estate up front, settled in for an outstanding set from the Kenneth Brian Band. I’m loving these guys more and more each time I see them. The crowd was a crazy mix of familiar faces (I think I run in the same circles as a lot of LA live music aficionados) and silverlake-hipster types, at least up front.
so many thanks to paul for capturing the setlist. since i was up front and also not really in the mood to have to take notes, i’m glad it didn’t fall to me as i would have failed miserably. i think at one point i sent a couple song titles to stoger inadvertantly while trying to take notes on my phone – gave up after only 2 or 3 songs into it.
there was a good chunk of time between KBB and when Lu came on and the crowd was really ready to go which made the first part of the show seem like a slow build with some of the slower songs up until I Lost It. After that it was full on rock and intensity, especially Seeing Black/Atonement/Unsuffer Me/Righteously/Essence, WOW. Blown away.
only other point of note was that Lu invited KBB out onstage for the encore starting with Get Right With God. Kenneth played Lu’s James Trussart silver guitar and he and Stuart really rocked it.
ok, gotta rest up now for tomorrow night. so glad the world tour is in my backyard.
Question for TomO, will there be a presale of tickets for the 3/3 Hotel Cafe show? Or will it just be a big line at the door? thanks.
Gremlins are back ❓ 😕 . What happened to the post with tour pic that Tom posted earlier today?
Also, the Saint Rocke show in Hermosa Beach on Thursday February 20 is missing from Paul’s post above.Great reports guys. It was great to hang out with everyone this last weekend. I think the ringing in my ears is just now starting to subside. 😕

For those who haven’t obtained tickets yet. Since I got this through a friend who is a contributor to KCSN, I ask that you donate to KCSN to support great radio programming if you can.Lineup being announced right now. LA debut of The Rides (Stephen Stills, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Barry Goldberg), Lucinda Williams, and LP. Should be another great one.
So, LiveNation now has the KCSN benefit listed on their site with a presale starting tomorrow at 10am and general onsale for Saturday. Tom O., is there a presale password or more info that you might have?
stoger et al – KCSN is the local college station on the Cal State Northridge campus. The benefit show would be held at the Valley Performing Arts Center on campus.
I’ve booked a stay in a VRBO rental that sleeps 4 to 8 people for Friday and Saturday night. If any of you need a place to crash, send me a private message and we can discuss the accommodations and logistics.
