Magic Mice at the B-Side Lounge in Boulder (April 23)
Aaron Betcher’s band O’er The Ramparts played the first Null premiere back in July of 2004. Man that seems like forever ago. Anyways, he’s in another band called Magic Mice and Brian, Jason and I went to check out a show of theirs in Boulder.
Should have known Rick would be there, but I didn’t expect those shoes! 
The first band was a couple ladies singing with a glass of wine and an acoustic guitar. It wasn’t bad, not my cup of tea though. Brian was the only one texting more than me. 
Magic Mice came on shortly and played a pretty rockin’ set. Brian told me the Westword mentioned Dinosaur Jr as one of their influences or something. That can never be a bad thing and there was definitely some sick guitar solos and distortion. For the most part though they reminded me of good garage rock and I really enjoyed it. Check out their myspace page HERE.
An old man laughing at at old man! Ha. The guy in the background was having a ball and dancing it up. You can’t really see from the photo, but he was getting jiggy. Rick approved. The best part was when he stood next to a pregnant lady and stuck out his belly. Golden material there.
If I ever get serious about concert reviews maybe I’ll actually start getting within 20 feet of the band when taking photos.
Up next was a horrible band named Ego Vs Id. Some Boulder band I guess. How embarrasing. They could play their instruments well enough, but it was cocky jam lets get chicks crap. We left.
