Stars Down is Minty Fresh…

In the last stand of their residency at The Mint I saw the band play July 29th…

Stars Down at The Mint

I have seen Lukas play 2x previously acoustic…this was my first time seeing him accompanied by the new band…

I was convinced I liked him calm, thoughtful, and focused on his music, and voice. I was never a fan of the drunken frankenstein bit, that frankly was a turn off for me from his Rockstar: Supernova performances on the TV.

But, alas, that may have been just distant memory, because he was both melodic and fun to watch amongst his new bandmates in Stars Down. This band incarnation, is interesting, and you can see they are starting to get that organic band thing going.

I wish them much success. We(my friends and I) got to hang out with the Bass player, German Briseno, after, and hear what it is like being in this band, other bands, and what it is like to choose this life, a musician’s life…

I am a big supporter of the creative path in life…I myself struggle with having made the ‘safe’ decision to work in the business world over pursuing more creative endeavors. And I love music, as a consumer… I respect that the folks that struggle, oft times for years, chasing their dreams, may make it, or may just get by. The pursuit of what is art, and I believe music is art…is a long hard road. Sure there are “rockstars”…but mostly, there are folks that toil day to day, from band to band, dark bar to dark bar, playing their music for whomever will listen…Because they believe. Anywho, I just want to say to German, Lukas, Jon, keep doing what you are doing. Follow your bliss. Dream the dream.

And with that…I sipped my Diet Coke this evening, and snapped a few images from my lovely table right in front…
