Scaling the Mile High Club

Blue SinatraI went to see Blue Sinatra for the first time since last June. It was one of the last shows before the band went on hiatus for the summer to write and record new material for their first full album. I also came to Doc Watson's for the first time since 2006, after it was briefly closed for code volations, the original owner returned and the upstairs club had been renamed the Mile High Club. Because of a sparse crowd that basically consisted of Blue Sinatra and myself and since of their lead singers was sick the other members of the two bands who were to play before them formed a jam band and had some fun. During that set a group of girls arrived led by Steve's girlfriend and Greg's sister in-law. Even with them there wasn't much of a crowd but we were able to fill up the tiny club. The band played most of the songs from the upcoming EP We're All On Drugs and were very tight. At least, until Greg's sister-in-law leaned on the table Steve's beer was sitting on and caused it to collapse. The show was halted briefly while the floor was mopped up and Steve got a replacement beverage. I received an advanced copy of the new EP after the show.
