Bring It Back To Life benefit at Club Paradise

I went down to the Club Paradise benefit Saturday. I had planned on going to another place to work on a podcast, but the performer had to cancel. No problem, we'll get it done another time, but it left me without any material for a podcast this week.
I had already skipped a week dragging my feet with the Babik podcast, so I didn't want to wait too long. So, I went down hoping I could talk one of the bands into one.
I had approached Breakerbox at the BBITL CD Release party, and they seemed enthusiastic about the idea, so I had them in mind as the prime candidate. I always hate to put a band on the spot and surprise them. I like to let them plan ahead.
But, they were happy to oblige me. I got a good feed out of the sound board as well and it turned out well. I also "ran tape" the whole show except for a part of The Feast's set while I got an interview with Breakerbox. The audio may come in handy in the future, as I spoke to both Michael Bly and Cosmic Stepping Stones about future shows. They both seemed positive as well.
So, I got a podcast recorded for this week. The band was really great and gave a great interview. It makes it so easy when you have people who are passionate about what they are talking about. Christina, Scott and Joe were all more than cooperative and I think we got a really good interview for the podcast. Christina, who puts out a Bad-Girl Rock and Roll personna on stage, was as sweet and personable as can be in person. It was a pleasure to work with them all. They're a group of musicians who know where they want to go and are serious about getting there. Watch for them on my podcast page Buffalo Live! Music Podcast
I also put photos of Cosmic Stepping Stones up here on the Photo Album. Check them out. CSS is an awesome band that has been going since the late 90's and they have a polished mature sound to show for it. I hate to categorize a band as versatile as they are, but the closest thing I can say they are is a Progressive-Rock band with a lead singer that sounds like a cross between Natalie Merchant and Sarah MacLachlin. The lyrics to their songs are intelligent and well written and compel close listening.
