As anticipated, I stayed at Sneaky Dee’s all night on Friday—and Musebox put on a killer line-up, courtesy of Bobby Kimberley as his last act before moving on to other endeavours.

Once I got over the realization that the brilliant chicken fajitas at Sneaks cost $22 (the outrageous price had previously been hidden by my alcohol purchases), I settled in to enjoy the music.

The highlights for this evening were Bravestation and Paper Lions.  The former dazzled the crowd with their phenomenally layered sound that infuses electro-percussion work into terrifically melodic pieces.  The latter hailed with a more conventional classic rock sound, but they put on a hell of an energetic show and they featured some of the most impressive guitar work that I caught all week.  More commentary to follow on all the bands:
