the village buzz

this is liz wittman, from the band “tender blindspot.” i did a little bit of searching around for some relevant links, but i think this was all done and over before internet came bombarding into everyone’s house..

this was tender blindspot’s last show. it was at cleveland’s grog shop (not the new one, but the old beat to hell one..) it was an interesting show in that it was kind of an end of an era..

tender blindspot was one of the first bands i interviewed and followed during the formative days of the village buzz (the paper one, not the website..) and i shot this on one of the final nights i was in the game.

it was a different time in the mid 90’s. there was no internet.. no myspace.. not signal to noise overload. we were a tribe. a gang. when we wanted check out what was going on in the underground music scene, we packed into my car, and hung out in the trenches until the sun came up.

unfortunately, it seems like that sense of adventure is gone. i hope i am wrong. i would love to hear that there are kids going into the clubs, drinking it up, whooping it up, and most of all.. doing it without the urge to put their exploits on the net. i would love to hear that kids are running wild.. and keeping it within the tribe.

anyway.. i ran into liz awhile back.. i had found this band that i was totally digging.. called kiddo.. and the girl’s voice sounded really familiar. i dug into the liner notes, and it was liz.. very cool..

stop over, check out her new project. buy the cd. it rocks.. if you like them, drop me a line, and i can point you to some other band you will dig..
