I Saw Wild Flag Cold, By Mike Hughes

I saw Wild Flag cold a few Thursdays ago. By which I mean I hadn’t heard a word of them before the gig. At least I thought that was the case, but Romance sounded way familiar.

You can read the review (and see my Wild Flag photos) HERE and it’s fair to say I was pretty impressed even if it’s hard to get some sort of emotional connection first time out. It’s like the first time you ever eat lutefisk. Persistence is everything in this regard.

I didn’t want to blather on about it in God is in the TV, but I was well impressed. If these were guys in their early to mid forties that hadn’t played in a band in five years, this kind of success (cult but dedicated) would be impressive. Enough said.
