[The Heron Outside]

Had a chance to catch Downie/Sadies at a Rock The Line awareness gig this afternoon. They did 4 songs (Maybe 5?) all from their collab album. And let me tell you, they sounded friggin' fantastic. Hard-nosed stuff. The first song in particular sounded reminiscent of Day For Night.

I spoke briefly with Downie after the set, he confirmed the record will be out in the spring.

I kinda thought the first song sounded horrible. But by the third song he had me back.

Nice event, but it seemed to be an extremely big undertaking for the attendance there. The paper today said 2,000 people were there, but it only looked to me like 400-500. Hopefully the publicity they got through newspaper articles will help raise awareness.

Here's "Walk the Line", where everybody came out to play together at the end.
