The Dan Band

This weekend I went to see "The Dan Band" http://www.thedanband.com/ at the Commodore.

It was kind of a last minute thing. I didn't have anything planned for Friday night, it was supposed to be a good show at a cool venue that I had never been to and a girl I work with had an extra ticket. So voila, instant night out.

Before the show, I was supposed to drop by her house to have a couple of drinks and pick up the ticket.

Her place was very close to mine so I looked it up on google maps and walked over. Being the idiot small-towner that I am, I walked right by the street and went an extra 10 minutes before I decided that I must have gone too far, or missed a turn. So I hailed a cab and he took me back. Her street was smaller than I had expected and not marked that well, so that must have been why I missed it ;)
I hadn't ever heard of these guys so they explained that they are these 3 guys who cover ballads which were originally written by women.

What I didn't know was that one guy wears a backwards baseball cap and a maintenance shirt with his name stiched on it and injects profanity into every other verse of the songs.

To top it off the rest of the band is made up of these two guys, in suits, ties and horn-rimmed glasses who perform synchronized moves to the words. It was ridiculously funny.




I am meeting tons of new people here, (mainly through work), and they are all very nice and fun to hang out with.



The Commodore was a great venue. There is plenty of room to dance and move around, or take a seat if you need a rest.

There are 4 bars in the place so no one really has to wait very long to order drinks.
