Birthday Girl are a good band but as I was texting some friends during that set:
“They make me a little nostalgic for a time when I listened to a lot of music like this (in a different century, mostly)”

I hear Birthday Girl DC as a throwback to one style from the last century, and Mary Timony’s current live approach a musical throwback to an even earlier style ( even if both of them are using lyrics that relate to their own 21 century issues)

I like the Mary Timony album better than I liked the live show. The guitar vamps don't go on as long.

At one point, Mabel Canty (before I knew her full name) announced their parents were actually accompanying them on tour, and I was like "aw, that's so sweet - every parent should be like that" and then someone informed me who their parents were - had no idea!

That is Alec Mackaye's daughter. Mabel Canty is 16 . Mary Timony gave Mabel Canty some lessons and produced their music
