Puddleglum Music

Very seldom have I been able to see a band more than once and never in the same year.  Emery, however, returned to San Antonio, this time playing The White Rabbit.  The venue actually had two stages in two separate areas, which allowed them to have a band playing while the next was setting up.  Since the three bands we came to see were all in the main room, we stayed there, but technically there were something like 8 or 9 bands playing that night.  I’m not sure how much I like that kind of setup.  I can understand giving people something to watch in between sets, but because the sets were in separate rooms, we didn’t want to miss any of Hawkboy, Oh, Sleeper, or Emery.

I was completely unfamiliar with any of the local bands that played, and now that it’s a month gone I’ve mostly forgotten them.  Instead, let’s get to the main shows of the night.

Hawkboy was amazing the second time around, and because I was more familiar with their music, I was able to just enjoy the set.  I am very interested to see this band continue as their music is incredibly creative.

Oh, Sleeper was a band that we had heard of years ago and had meant to follow up on, but for some reason we never got around to it.  They were really good live, and I look forward to seeing them again some time.

Emery was just as amazing this time as they were in March.  I love being able to see these guys live.
