Robbers on Hight Street

The Robbers on High Street were stealing the stage at the Mercury Lounge for a night so I went to listen in to the sounds of their strumming. The place was packed with your regular college indie-rock fans and I made my way to the front. I started talking to this Asian chick next to me about the band, (she said she was a friend of the guitarist) and she said if I tasted her drink and guessed it she would get me one. I took a sip and knew it was grapefruit vodka and yes, she honored her bet, although she gave me the cash and made me go get the drink myself. I really thought the band’s rhythm and bass section held down the show for them, the lead singer reminded me a bit of Britt Daniels from Spoon and their songs generally had the same feel to them. Another night on the town, another free drink, I said goodbye to my generous friend and headed out.
