Notes
On March 8th, 2003 my former bandmates and I played a show at Rubber Gloves with the Early Lines and The Servo. It was our second show at the then very difficult to book venue so I immediately agreed to play without having any prior knowledge of the other bands on the bill. Years later I found myself in a conversation with a violinist who mentioned that we had played the show together. As she tried to describe the The Servo I completely blanked. Had I actually played this show? Was this band so forgettable that I blocked them out of my memory entirely? Should I feel bad about that?
That violinist was Becki Howard, longtime scene instrumentalist (Paper Chase, Sarah Jaffe, Doug Burr, Radiant, Bosque Brown, Bethan..many more) and current director of programming at the AT&T performing Art Center in Dallas. Last week she was profiled by the Dallas Observer who listed half a dozen of her past musical endeavors without mentioning the Servo. I'm still not sure what this CD sounds like because after this picture was taken I didn't end up with the copy, but if you are curious, another copy is for sale on amazon for 97.55.
