Night Owls
Seems like we’re on a cultural roll here. Tonight, we’re off to the Ballard Jamhouse to hear a reunion engagement of a groove jazz trio that was our house band in the late 90s/early 2000s. The group is called the Rockin’ Teenage Combo, comprised of Dara Quinn on keys, Paul Kemmish (PK) on upright and electric bass and Olli Klomp on drums. We hired them to play for both of our 50th birthday parties, gigs that, by their mere definition, degraded their image.
I posted about them previously here, which includes some audio clips:

I’m so psyched to be hearing them again. They’re playing the gig at the Jamhouse at 9, then playing an extended set in a loft in the SODO district. The loft is where we held Mrs. Perils’ 50th birthday party, but I think there’s not much chance of us making the Loft scene tonight, as the gig starts at 2 am. We’ve been to the Loft a couple of other times in the early 2000s (one time exiting just as rosy-fingered dawn revealed herself to the city), but it’s pushing it these days to get Mrs. Perils out past 9:30.
I’ll try to record some clips.
