Before the Lower Than Angels set, we got to enjoy a band comprised of a few friends of ours called Gadget Car. They describe their music as Chicano Groove Punk (they are all Latino, in case you were wondering). Michael Sanchez, formerly a member of LTA, plays lead guitar in this band. It rocked! Mike was the best I'd ever saw him on guitar. Amazing considering he had just been in a car accident on the preceding Sunday, which required his rescuers to use the "jaws of life" to extract him. He spent 5 days in the hospital, during which time he was evidently visited by the Virgin Mary. He was still pretty banged up the night of the gig (his strumming hand was bruised pretty severely). The band dubbed the gig the "Thank God Mike Didn't Die" show. Marc Rivera is the lead singer/bassist and an old friend, as is the drummer, Tim Curiel. Marc is hilarious and a seasoned veteran of live shows. Everyone had a great time. Watching Gadget Car began to lift my spirits (the Captain and Coke didn't hurt, either--except that it cost $9!). Next, was LTA.
