Speckled Bird Café 5.3.08



The Speckled Bird Café is a hidden treasure in Norwood. It’s a wonderful neighborhood coffee shop and also has a very interesting menu full of amazing flavors that you don’t need a side of Lipitor to enjoy.

We enjoyed this venue for our second appearance outside of practicing in Yvan’s basement. We did miss our band mascot, Milli, who can squeak a toy along with any song we’re practicing.

We had some sound issues but those are all things that have to be worked out along the way. Overall, it was a fun evening and Janet’s electric cello made its debut. Besides the red digital accordion, it’s absolutely the coolest looking instrument. It looks like she’s playing a giant praying mantis. A real praying mantis, if female, will bite the head off the male during mating. So the cello is also a symbol of woman power! Rock on, Janet.

We’re looking for more venues with more of a concert atmosphere. We’re looking at doing some tunes at Creativa in June. We’ll keep ya posted.
