Have You Hugged Your Local Band Today?

Posted September 5, 2007

This was a great summer for music in Rockville, and it looks likely to continue into the fall. With Thursday evening music in Town Center thru Sept 13, music every Wednesday to Saturday night and Sunday Jazz Brunch at Austin Grill, concerts at F. Scott Fitzgerald and Parilla PAC, First Fridays in Town Square and more, a person could hear something new and different every day of the week.

Two of our favorites in recent weeks were the performance of some of the former Cascade in Blue members (some of whom are now part of The Slights who also performed) at Austin Grill on August 23, and The Digits' benefit concert this past weekend.

I made a couple of small clips of each: Cascade, with Claudio, Joey, Andy, Jonny and Dario, is on the top (video courtesy of Andrew Anastasi, who taped from upstairs at Austin Grill) and The Digits is below, looking like they were filmed by a drunken amateur, but really just an amateur with not enough light or a tripod and kind of enjoying the wierd light effects. Both remind me of fun evenings anyway. I hope the Digits band and silent auction raised lots of cash for the causes they were playing for: the PKD Foundation and COTA.

You can hear better clips of The Digits here and Cascade in Blue here.
