* I guess I was going for an early 1990s indie rock thing. I eventually took tangential trips to related genres and eras. This was my first time at The Dive and a lot of it was getting to know equipment I hadn’t had too long. Some worked well (Lambchop, The Causey Way to Dr. Octagon transition). Others not so well (Julian Cope, unfortunately, does not really bring the party).
