8/24/07 Marilyn's on K (Sacramento Ca)

We took the 2 1/2 drive to play at Marilyn's on K in downtown Sac. It's an underground spot, for real, its actually underground. Cool atmosphere, bartenders are nice the sound is decent and the crowd to responsive. A band called the Story Tellers opened up the night , playing some rocksteady ska/reggae. I guess their drummer is a pro skater. We played second for about 45 min, a nice change from 3 hr sets that we had been playing. After us was a rapper called Wisdom, who had an amazing drummer. Church style, banging chops and some showmanship a la John Blackwell. If you search "gospel drummer" on youtube, his name will come up, even though I can't remember it right now. Then our boys Sol Peligro came up and rocked that classic cumbias and kept the dancefloor packed. I got to sit in on percussion for a few songs. I would recommend this place to Sacramento gente, go check it out. We got home about 4:30am, another day at the office.
