Went out Friday with a coworker and her friends to a new bar downtown, called Sneaky Pete's. Your standard sports bar fare. But the reason we went was to root for a friend of hers who was a finalist in a singing contest the bar has sponsored. The finalists all got to sing one song with local band High & Mighty. My coworker's friend was, in my mostly un-biased opinion, the best singer of the bunch (she totally owned Chain of Fools), but she lost to this overacted hipster dude who did his whole song with a bottle of beer squooshed into his shirt pocket.
But anyway, this was my first time seeing High & Mighty, and wow! They rocked! They're a disco/funk/soul cover band, and some of their covers were better than the originals (they totally made Brick House enjoyable again). I look forward to seeing them again sometime.
It's also got my karaoke gene itching again. The friend of my coworker (how'm I doing at keeping it anonymous?) who lost the competition occasionally runs karaoke at a bar in Bloomington, so I'm gonna have to check that out sometime. Svenden misses the karaoke. :)
