One of the cool things about doing this show is when you find a band who plays music that's different from everything you've featured before.  Another cool thing is when you find a band who is energetic, upbeat, and genuinely excited about making that music.

Upshot is both of those things.

Despite having fought some pretty tough battles with both the west coast and Cincinnatti music scenes; despite personnel problems; despite geographical difficulties; and despite the usual struggles of eking out a living as musicians, this band has a great rapport, enthusiasm for what they do, a lot fun doing it, and the music that matches perfectly with the vibe they project.

Apologies for some rough audio on this one, it was recorded in a crowded downtown coffee shop, sitting right next to a bunch of electrical equipment that made the mics buzz.  I filtered and buried what I could, but you people who seem to focus more on audio quality than show content may get a bit distracted.  As for the rest of you, enjoy!
