Yep, that title is right- NOT A TYPO. Short Dogs Grow are back! They played their first show in over 10 years (and their 2nd show in over 30, I think) last month at the Kilowatt. They were one of my favorite bands in the late 80s/early 90s, so I wasn’t missing this one!
Of course, any time that I go to a new venue to do multicam video, things inevitably go wrong.. and boy did they. First of all, there is NO parking in this part of SF. After cruising block after block of no parking, I absent-mindedly scooted over to make a right hand turn, and almost hit a bicyclist! I got a nice long middle finger for that one.
Then, once I got into the venue, I realized I forgot the USB drive for the soundboard recording to mix with the schoeps. Hell if I was driving again, so I started a madcap trip to Walgreens with ubers and lyfts and stuff… and then, after all that, the board didn’t work it out. D’oh!
At least the camera angles worked out OK- when there are only 4, it makes a difference if one bonks out. Sounds ok, could have been better. It sounds like they are open to playing more shows, so I might try again if they play somewhere where I can park without killing someone.
The set was great- they even have a couple of new songs!
