My weekend was bookended by blasts (of static) from the past at The Antenna Club Reunion, and glimpses of the future at Saturday night’s showcase for Delta Girls Rock camp.
Remembering Friday night is like trying to remember a fever dream. The Antenna Club banner was hanging on the eastern wall of Nocturnal like it had never gone away. Dave Shouse of The Grifters was standing in front of it singing “Bronze Cast” like he’d never gone away. Greg Cartwright was outside on the sidewalk where all the smokers had gathered, waiting in nearly unendurable heat for his turn to rip the place apart. It was 1993 all over again only much, much hotter.
