Just found out that the Seattle band Patience Please is playing Lemmon’s in St. Louis on Saturday, August 5. Patience Please includes two old friends of mine from Seattle: drummer Chris Mac, whom you all know from Indiepages and many other projects, and singer/keyboardist Keenan Dowers, whom I met through volunteering at the Vera Project. Perhaps they will bring a little of Seattle’s cool summer weather to a hot St. Louis August.
Obviously I’m not going to write about this show for money since two members of the band have released my music – that’s too much of a conflict of interest even for the world of music criticism. Just take my advice that this is a show worth attending, OK?
