September 8 2006: Fancy Trash, Spouse, the Basement Band – The Elevens, Northampton MA
Went down the street to watch Housemate Ben’s record release show and get reacquainted with an old friend I call Two Dollar PBR.
The Basement Band played first, and were pretty good, though every time I thought they had a pretty good tune going the singer would say, “Thanks! That was a cover tune.” Oh well.
And then Spouse played and they were really great and I was dancing along and then noticed that their bass player used to play with Pedro the Lion. His Sonic Boom Records t-shirt gave him away. I talked to him after the show and I guess he lives in Easthampton now.
And then Fancy Trash played and everybody danced and Housemate John yelled at them and good times were had. And the bassist’s mom brought a big plate with crackers and cheese and another big plate with chips and bean dip and a big cake and stuff like that. And on top of the cake were these little made-in-Taiwan instruments, intended to represent the band. Like the wedding couple on a wedding cake, but for a rock band. So we stole most of mini gear and then went to the diner in Easthampton and pretended to be a mini made-in-Taiwan rock band while we waited for the food. And then Ben made us give them back.

Ken, who plays in Spouse, was indeed in Pedro the Lion but that was only for a short while and he's really from here to begin with, then went away for a while to do that, then came back to here again. He plays with Mark Mulcahy and School for the Dead and King Radio and The Fawns and Ribbon Candy and a bunch of other bands, too.
Just thought you'd like to know,
Josh
