So you remember my last post? Probably not because it has been ages. Anyway, it was about Jon McLaughlin. Well today's post is about the band the he opened for on the latest tour that I saw him on. Now, I had never heard of Stephen Kellogg & the Sixers and didn't think to look into them because all I really needed was Jon McLaughlin (You know, like I did with Foxy Shazam and Panic! at the Disco). Anyway, I was confused when I found out Jon McLaughlin was the opener. I had had no idea. I also did not think anyone would be good enough to have him opening for them. NO SIR! JON OPENS FOR NO ONE! BUT, they came out and were really freaking good. Like... REALLY good. They're a rock band from Massachusetts, they're older (Stephen Kellogg is in his 30s)and a lot of their music revolves around stuff like family. So yeah. And, on top of that, they gave a great performance. They didn't have a huge following or anything, but they genuinely loved all the people that were there and allowed them to do what they loved to do. It was great to see a band like that. That, and it was really freaking cool when they came out into the middle of the crowd, stood on crates, and played a song unplugged. It was great. THEY, are great.
Go Download: Uhm... how bout you just download everything? No? FINE, but you should really consider listening to all their music HERE. (Also, one of my favorites is "Such A Way" so go get it on iTunes
I really wish I could find a video of them playing "Milwaukee" the night I saw them because there was this gorgeous piano and drum break that was just a completely ethereal moment. But I can't find it, so here's a different performance of it, which is still really good.
