8.4.00 Warning: This review will be completely and totally biased, predisposed, unfair, and partial. Now that we have that out of the way, let me explain to you just how much it rocks to see a OneLineDrawing show. Jonah Matranga will be the first to remind you that he’s not that much different from any …
What do you get when you cross major street construction and the Troubadour? A 45-minute power outage, that’s what! During the day, that wouldn’t have been a problem, but the power going out at 8:06pm with the first band to take the stage at 8:30.. well.. things get pushed back. Luckily the power did restore …
