Much younger crowd at this version of the BBC. Arrive from our 11 mile trip from Mashpee just as Rhode Island-based The Complaints are starting their first set of rock covers (U2, Counting Crows, Strokes, etc.) mixed in with original stuff from their two CDs, Fear/Criminal Mind. The place is packed, so we position ourselves along the rail to the right of the band for good listening and people-watching. Reet/Judi are not at all smitten with the LOUD music (perhaps a bit peeved at not being carded at the door), preferring the previous night's retro fare, but I enjoy The Complaints. Judi scores a free copy of their newest 3-song CD for me.
 The Complaints: Dean Petrella - guitars, lead vocals Chris Cruz - bass, backing vocals Tony Marotti - drums (and dancing girlfriend) Update: not blown away by the 3 songs on the CD, but I recommend highly seeing the band live. thecomplaints.com |

Friday night at British Beer Company in Falmouth
We hear The Dave Foley Band starting up with some Bob Dylan as we finish our meal and I coerce the group into staying for a set. Tasty song choices (Little Richard, old Elvis, Stray Cats, Johnny Cash, Eddie Cochran) played in a rockabilly style gets a table of young people near the band up and dancing. We tap our toes, sip and observe.
 The Dave Foley Band: Dave Foley - Electric Guitar, Harmonica & Singing Rich Holbrook - Upright Bass & Singing Mal Shaw - Drums davefoleymusic |
