Day Ninety Four - Cool Hands
Wednesday, September 19th, 2007
Today I’m sporting a charcoal grey Cool Hand Luke shirt. No not the Cool Hand Luke starring Paul Newman. This Cool Hand Luke is a three piece Indie band from Tennessee. I saw these guys many moons ago in a youth center in Harrisburg, PA with another stellar band Noise Ratchet (Now defunct). It’s good to see that CHL is still making new music and spreading their positive message. One thing that stuck out about these guys was the the guitar players sketch books and art at their merch table. It was refreshing to see someone sharing work along with their music, and as an artist myself it really made me want to find out more about them. I’ll admit I don’t frequent shows as much as I used to, but all too often merch tables seem like a competition for who is more scene or rock and roll. CHL made it feel like a community, where you could comfortably share your thoughts, shop and experience other items besides their music. Good Stuff.
