Ok, so... I had not been to a Junebug Spade performance in a while, nor the arts festival, so I decided to knock 2 birds out ,with one stone. I wanted to see the changes to to down town anyway. I do not agree with having the festival downtown, with all the 10 dollar parking, and construction, but I endured it anyway. I arrived early enough to catch the 411 band, with the beautiful and talented Cara Black performing on the water stage. Great to hear some 80s & 70s r&b that evening.
After that, Junebug Spade arrived, set up and started their set. The first two songs went well , but then they started having audio problems where the sound would cut out. This happened a couple songs in row, but they got it fixed just in time to peel off a couple of their new songs. (check out the video) They had fans in the crowd who called their names, and made new ones too i'm sure.
They have such a distinct modern retro sound which Peters voice seems to punctuate. The latest Album , Extra Virgin Olive Oil is out now and has all the restro rock sound of this band in a nice digitally mastered package of 6 songs. (link on the right )They are also playing at Swarzstock and currently touring other states.
