Since the other show we were attending was showing signs of starting pretty late, we ducked out to catch Katy Davidson playing in someone’s basement. When we got there Ash Reiter was playing. I have no idea how many songs we missed, but she went on for quite a while. Not bad. Very reminiscent of Jolie Holland. She seemed intent on playing endlessly though, which, given that we were under the impression the show was supposed to be over at 11 and she was still going strong at 10:50, made us a little grouchy.

Katy eventually chased her off-stage and began tuning, which turned into some guitar freestyling, which turned into her set. She did maybe four or five songs as a medley, mostly material I wasn’t familiar with. She was apparently operating on about two hours of sleep, so seemed a little out of it, but still a pretty good set. Playing solo seems to keep her from doing the really lengthy psych jams that have occupied much of the last two times I’ve seen her. I’m debating whether to go see her again on Friday.
