Semi-Charmed Kind of Night: 90's/00's Pop-Rock Perfection

Coming Back SOON, RSVP NOW to Find Out When Update: 09/19 - We had our first Semi-Charmed Night last Thursday at Gold Digger's. Two things: One, that was so much fun. Two, we have to do another. I didn't get to play nearly as many songs as I wanted to! No "Losing a Whole Year"! No "Found Out About You"! No "In the Meantime"! No "Barely Breathing"! Duncan Shiek died the next day and I didn't even play "Barely Breathing." So, until I get a date/time figured out with the venue you're free to RSVP ahead of schedule for free and I'll send out an email when ready. Can't wait to do it again! See you soon. You were cool, right? You listened to Nirvana. You listened to Sonic Youth. You listened to Pavement. You did not listen to Matchbox 20. You did not listen to the Goo Goo Dolls. You certainly did not listen to that "I wAnT sOmEthiNg elSe" band. No, that was poppy crap for dorks. You were cool. But sometimes those songs would come on the radio in your car, and it would be just you, and you'd start singing along, and you'd know every word even though you didn't want to know every word... It's not that I don't love Nirvana or Sonic Youth or Pavement, it's just that... I don't really listen to those bands anymore. Like, I get it. They changed everything. They're revolutionary. They're so cool. I'm just too old to care about being cool. I listen to the lame stuff, I'm all about the lame stuff. I came up with this concept because I just now, at 33 years old, realized what a great album Third Eye Blind is. Like, the whole thing rocks! Not just "Jumper" or "How's It Gonna Be" but "The Background" and "I Want You" too! And then I started thinking on the other songs that I just love to actually listen to; "Slide" by Goo Goo Dolls, "All You Wanted" by Michelle Branch, "Shimmer" by Fuel, "Falls Apart" by Sugar Ray, "Why Georgia" by John Mayer. That's when I realized, we need to celebrate these songs. And that's what Semi-Charmed Kind of Night is. It's a celebration of the lame stuff. It's a place where we don't have to be nostalgic for these songs, we can enjoy them for what they are right now, together. Maybe singing your heart out to "3AM" (admit it, you can't resist this part; "but OUTSIDE... it stopped RAIN-IIIIIN'") isn't cool, but it sure is fun. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces and making new friends, Holiday Kirk
