With Kevin off to a wedding for a couple of days we set off into the Pacific
Northwest as a quartet. Owen switched to drums, making this perhaps the most
faithful recreation of the old mid-eighties line-up so far. Papillon, the
opening band, were kinda interesting, veering from Serge Gainsbourg (their
singer/guitarist/leader is French) to Jefferson Airplane. Very nice people,
too.
A Tuesday night in Portland only yielded an audience of about a hundred, but
despite this and the fact that the band sat down to play, it was arguably
the best set of the trip so far in purely musical terms. Steve had really
settled in on the bass and looked sharp as a sharp thing in his suit.
After the show we hung around the club, which was rather an agreeable and
civilised place (free water for the ravers, for example) and got to meet
Courtney from the Dandy Warhols. Then it was off to stay at the train
drivers' hotel. Many thanks, David Estes, for that tip.
Audience: About 100
Man of the Match: Steve
