Last Saturday, Phyllis, Brian Deer and the Achievers & a re-united Watership Down, including Sean Fogarty on drums, hit the Haute like a tsunami of big hooks, big licks and big star(s). The Speakeasy was pretty much packed and the sound was decent for the volume at which it was played. Phyllis started the night, but weary-voiced Brett, beginning a nasty sinus infection, cut short after 7 or 8 of their many hits. The boys left everyone wanting more. Brett threw on a bass and played with Brian, Matt & Leroy in the Achievers set. Wow, hadn't seen them in a while and they were great. Love those songs. The crowd was enthusiastic as well. They TH equivalent of Wrigley's Ronnie Woo Woo enjoyed the set. Finally, Watership took the stage and peeled off pop gem after gem. I gotta tell you those songs hold up really well after all these years. I need to figure out a way to get those digitized for posterity. Anyone???
Many people left with a smile on their face that night. Scott Hart came over from Newcastle. A crew from Indy rolled in. Bro-in-law Jim was in town from St. Louis.
