Thomas Dolby - Alberta Rose Theatre

Thomas Dolby brought his "Invisible Lighthouse" documentary to town, and gave us a live performance with narration, soundtrack and foley as accompaniment.  His special guest for the night was Storm Large, who gave us a rendition of "The Key to Her Ferrari."  I loved the female-viewpoint comeback that was added to "Airhead," and the live percussion programming for "Hyperactive."

Minor Alps/Upsidedown - Hawthorne Theatre

This was the second ever live show by Minor Alps. Juliana Hatfield and Matthew Caws took the stage with just two guitars, a small keyboard and some backing drum tracks.  That's all they needed.
