I like the minimal straight forward pop of that song too. Sometimes sheâs too prog & old school art rock for me , but not on that dominoes song

First date of the tour tonight in Baltimore. Sweet, short set, heavy on the new album with two Helium cuts. There were some nerves and a missed lyric cue or two, but a really strong band, having fun up there. Timonyâs solos on âThe Guestâ were especially on fire.
See âem when they come to your town

I was there too. I liked Anna on the pedal steel, but must confess to get bored at times by Timony and Betsy leisurely jamming on so many songs . Felt like circa 1972 rock with not enough energy and rhythm. I liked Timony vocals and how songs started but some just didnât hold my attention. Maybe I am not the ideal audience member for this tour.

getting bored
Yeah, the jamming was definitely the point to a large degree - the vocals acting as a starting point/tee for glassine guitar riffs and extended vamps. Not for everyone, but itâs possible that this will change as the tour proceeds and she gets more comfortable in the role of singer/bandleader/guitarist - with Hammered Hulls she just had to be the bassist, which was probably a relief.

The openers were OK but I was kinda patiently waiting for the main event - itâs always been that way but even more so as I age.

I get that. I had seen them before and kinda liked them, so was fine with seeing em again even on a midweek work night. But yeah, was glad there werenât too many delays.

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

I hear Birthday Girl DC as a throwback to one style from the last century, and Mary Timonyâs 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
