Dorothy

It's tough to know what to get grown kids for Christmas.  They're not interested in toys so much anymore.  They don't really want Mom & Dad picking out their clothes.  But I got an idea this year.

A while back in my You Tube feed I saw a video for song called Dark Nights by a band called Dorothy.  I liked it. Watched some more of their music and thought, "How have I not heard this before?  Why do they not get time on the radio?  This is awesome!"

Then late in November I saw that Dorothy was kicking off their tour this season at The Rave in Milwaukee. Cool.  I am going to share this with my boys, I know what we're getting them for Christmas.

So yesterday we went to a concert.  Here are some photos from The Rave's website.

One cool thing Dorothy does is choose opening acts from local bands.  Or semi-local anyway.  For this show she choose a band called Rivals from Houghton, MI ... a small town in the UP.  They were a good opening act.  Dynamic.  Got the crowd pumped up for Dorothy.




The main act was the main act, though.  Dorothy was amazing.  Loud, fast, fun.  Kind of a small crowd ... small enough to play in the bar at the Rave instead of the main ballroom.  Made for a real intimate show with the band RIGHT THERE!!!  I mean Dorothy was literally right down in the fans' faces, interacting with us.  It was great.


You can actually see me & Ben in this picture ... the back of our heads, anyway.
