Local Point of View

So I was on My Space looking for some new music to listen to and I ran across a local band called The Charter North. As it happens they were playing a local show on Saturday night at Peoria Pizza Works...Which I never knew had live shows at...its kinda interesting how each generation has its place to see tiny live shows...when I was in Highschool we saw a lot of show at Owens Center...yes the ice skating rink. They have these rooms in the back and we would listen to favorites like 7 seconds and caustic defiance. anyway so they are having a show at the pizza place. I decide to stop by to see what the local scene is like know. The space is really small which is to bad but the set up wasn't too bad. I arrived when a band was playing but I wouldn't be able to tell you their name because they never told us...so tip to new bands...let the audience know who you are every now and then. The charter north had a little merch stand going...I didn't see any other of the bands with merch...so after listening to the band I decided to pick up a CD...$3 not bad ...when I got home the only problem is that they had no liner notes or song names. I had to go on their myspace page and match up the songs...I still have one song without a name. so another note to new bands: make sure people know your songs if they are going to buy your CD. It's a bit hard to talk about a band and their songs saying things like...yeah that one song you know that goes like this...
anyway they are pretty good if you want to check them out.
Chowderhead!
