James of James Rocket put todays show together with Roger That! kicking the day off and Philadelphia's Poppy in the middle.  I thought Poppy were pretty good and they left out free cd's and vinyl, so I grabbed a CD.  They reminded me of an early 90's Boston indie rock band.  I guess that's Northeast.  I liked main vocalist/guitarist Kate Campbell's voice and Brian Campbell jumped around on bass quite a bit for being of the "grey" persuasion.

James Rocket and Roger That! have been covered a bunch on this blog.  James Rocket are still plotting a release of their recent Martin Bisi recordings and Roger That! I'm sure are recording more material now that Flashback Fever has been out a half year.

That conversation was miraculously remembered over half a year later.   Another friend of mine had RSVP's for the free Tuesday Night Series at Union Pool passed on to me that proved to be useless since they don't guarantee entrance.  Fortunately, I got there early enough that I was 3rd to last to secure entry.  For future lines there, if it...
