For Xui Dan

Xui Dan, my pretty Fujianese friend's birfday was a few days ago. We celebrated it at The Fat Black Pussycat, yes, that is the name of the place. It's pretty nice, bar & tables when you enter, Moroccan kinda lounge in the next room, v.i.p. room upstairs, and another lounge but with a live band downstairs. The lounge downstairs is called Village Underground, the live band didn't have a name. They're like a complication of different musicians and singers, they played mostly renditions of songs and requests from the crowd but they did their own thing too. Because of the various musicians from different backgrounds, the music was elcetic and fresh. There was some soul, spanish, reaggae, alternative, and old school stuff. I love the intimate atmosphere of the small stage and crowd, oh, and some of the musicans were cute. I hope they don't mind that I recorded it, just a little though. I had to, Sasha, one of the singers, WOW, what a voice [you can hear it more at the end]:



They put their hearts into it. Sasha did Joan Osbourne's "What If God Was One of Us", belted it out, almost teared up. I dunno, you had to be there. They all do their own things on the side but come together every Thursday @ Village Underground. All I know is that they're AMAZING and I'll be seeing them more. Jamie's gonna be my partner in crime for this one! =P
