Company of Thieves

On Wednesday April 29th I saw this band live at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach. This was probably one of the best live shows I have EVER seen. Company of Thieves is a band from Chicago and this was their first visit to San Diego. FM 94.9 has been playing their song on the radio for the past month or so and needless to say this 6 dollar show was sold out. They were incredibly humble and delightful with awesome stage presence. I can't believe how good the sound was at this venue. They did a cover of Janis Joplin's "a little piece of my heart" that floored me. Genevieve Schatz is a tiny sprite-like individual with an incredibly powerful voice. I see this band (hopefully) getting really big. Their songs are all very different from each other and equally catchy. I highly recommend seeing this band if you ever have a chance.

Another band that played that night was really fun to watch was 'Stripes and Lines'. All four band members were right at the front of the stage and the drummer was the lead singer. They were incredibly funky and technical. Go see them too if you have the chance.

Good times!
