This was I believe the 3rd show at Momo’s and the first one where the tables
near the stage remained as they began playing. In the past the first row of
tables were removed or moved back to make room for people to stand in front of
the stage. I wasn’t going to let the tables get in the way of me standing in
front of the stage. A set list wasn’t used so I wrote down the songs as they
were played:

Killing Day
Let It Rain
Family
Wings
By Yourself
Mockingbird
Smile
Better Days
The Creeper
Roll On
Catch The Bus
Glad You’re Gone
I’ll Never Be The Same
Dashboard Mary

I was not and still am not feeling well, I’m suffering from allergies. Mold I
live with year round and this is cedar season, which began earlier this week.
I didn’t let that take away from my enjoyment. I L-O-V-E Podunk’s music and
thoroughly enjoy every moment I get to see them perform. Since early August
with their new line-up they have torn-up every stage they have performed on.
This night was no different. From the first song "Killing Day" which started
at midnight until the last song "Dashboard Mary" which ended just after 2am
they were ON! Danny (keyboard player) provided the comic relief as always.
Because they didn’t have a set list they sometimes "huddled" to choose which
song they would play next. They haven’t played "Better Days" a whole lot
lately and I enjoyed it immensely. Another pleasant surprise was "Catch The
Bus". I always love to ROCK along with that song. Jason used his talk box
during "Glad You’re Gone" and there was some tambourine silliness during the
song. Danny handed Jason his tambourine just before Danny began his keyboard
solo. Later in the song after Jason’s talk box session Duncan passed the
tambourine to Jason in a football hike style (between his legs). Yes, I guess
you can say these guys have consumed a lot of alcohol and were a bit drunk.
They jammed during the last three songs, which lasted 30 minutes. Just before
they started "Dashboard Mary" Jason introduced the band starting with Duncan
Isenhower, then "the amazing" Danny Smith, then Brian Hays and Paul Soroski.
It was Danny who introduced Jason Touchette. They did their "Southside"
routine during the song keeping it short. Since it was after 2am the Momo’s
employees wanted to clear the place so they could close. I needed to catch a
bus (and then taxi) to get home so I said bye to Jason and everybody else was
busy talking with other people so I left.

Usually on New Years Eve there’s just one place I spend the evening but this
year there are 3 different places on 6th Street that I want to be. On most
weekend nights hitting three different places to see bands is no problem for me
because I don’t want to miss seeing any of my favorite bands. I’ll probably
have to skip seeing Truepenny at the Hard Rock Café so I can catch the show at
the Vibe (ultrasonic, Canvas, Pushmonkey and Vallejo) and Podunk across the
street at Bigsby’s. Right now I’m not sure where I’m going to be at THAT
moment (I still have 4 days to decide) although it’ll probably be with Podunk.


I HOPE that everyone has a wonderful and safe New Years celebration!
