Last night I went from BLoomington,IN to CIncinnati,OH. I went to the
club called Ripley's. I saw a band called Heavy Weather(from Cincy) and a
band called Fishbone(from LA). THey both sounded good.THere were a lot of
people there.That's about it.

Ok,alright. When I got there my friend Chris,the bass player in Heavy
Weather, said that Fishbone had a 2 hr. "soundcheck/rehearsal" and the
vibe was pretty tense in the band,most likely because they had a new
drummer and this was only his 2nd gig and Norwood didn't seem in a good mood.
I saw Norwood and Angelo checking out Heavy Weather and they seemed to
like it. Angelo was playing DJ behind the sound board in between bands.
And the place was pretty full but it wasn't that big of a club.
I wonder what their show before that sounded like because even though
the drummer was good he was still learning the songs as they were playing
them! Norwood was definitely getting pissed off,probably just because of the
situation they were in. I don't memorize or write down set lists but I
remember these:
Ugly-Cholly-Sunless Saturday-Beer Gut-Alcoholic-Fishy Wa Ska-Bonin-Party
at Ground Zero-Another Generation and more!(somebody else will have to
finish it)
It all sounded really good considering what was going on onstage between
Angelo giving the drummer cues and Norwood getting pissed off. THere were
a few times where they had to restart the song after the drum entrance
but hey. And it might be a possibility that Fish won't be there at all
for future shows. I understand why angelo didn't Swim at all during this
show.
And that's about it.

peace,
Brian Courtney
