Ian Moore and the Lossy Coils at the Continental Club, 6/22/13

Page 2 of 2

This, along with Moore's sweet, bluesy ditties like "Innocent Maneuvers" and the haunting, striking "1,000 Black Birds," finished off the allegory of musical genius running through both Moore's head and heart. The crowed reciprocated with familiar "na, na, na na-ahs" and joyous hipster-like finger snapping.

Moore finished off the night breaking out a beautifully handsome new Fender Strat guitar, almost as if we were invited to witness firsthand the spiritual transformation from blues aficionado to modern-day Don Juan.

His fans got an intimate and satisfying show, proof that you don't need long hair to rock and sometimes you can satisfy everyone. The fans even called for an encore -- not bad for finally calling your own shots.

Personal Bias: The guy smokes. On guitar, not weed.

The Crowd: Ugly chicks be damned.

Overheard In the Crowd "This is lovemaking music." Guys, you've been warned.

Random Notebook Dump:: Moore has a "30 songs for 30 days for $30" promotion going on right now. Wedding bells, anyone?
