Walter Clevenger & The Dairy Kings at Club Mesa

I showed up at Club Mesa right as Walter & the DKs were starting their second song. They seemed to be having a lot of fun up there, perhaps too much fun. They didn't have a set list, and they seemed indecisive between most songs. They played a nifty set that included two new songs as well as a couple of covers (Radio, Radio by Elvis Costello and Keep Your Hands to Yourself by Dan Baird).

After the set I talked to them and apparently they had had a couple of the 32 oz brewskis they serve at Club Mesa, thus explaining how loose they were on stage. Though they seemed to think it impaired their playing, I thought they sounded fine. Next week they get the commute, up to Brennan's Irish Pub, which is right down the street from me.
