Report from The Fort: 2/7/03

We wandered down to Sidewalk to catch Chris Butler. As you may know, Chris was the driving force behind The Waitresses. The band had two major hits I Know What Boys Like and Christmas Wrapping, so we were curious what he was going to do. We missed the first few songs and walked in to see a sweaty Butler playing acoustic with a fantastic backing band. Butler has been spotted recently at some Antishows and he must have been doing his homework because he rocked the shit out of his acoustic and bombarded us with songs of both melodic, rythmic and lyrical depth. Think Grey Revell meets XTC. This was damn good, inspiring stuff and we hope the Sidewalk gets him back real soon.
