Blake Lewis - CD release party - Showbox 12-20-07

Blake had his album release party in Seattle at the Showbox. It was apparently sold out, and an amazing show!

Doxology and The Mob Law opened the festivities and were really good.

Then it was Blake's turn to be on stage!

According to Blake's dad:

They rocked out. Started with Silence is golden, special edition. Did all the songs and mixed up the order great. I think HMW and HMH were great hits. “End of the world” really blew me away live.. It was really better watching him (them) perform it than listening to the recording. The band is getting tuned in and harmonies are getting better every performance. I think when the tour is underway they will be tight…….with a big T. They ended with Break anotha and killed it. I was surprised that by the end of the show they still had awesome energy.

You can read more of his thoughts on the show at Team Plaid.

According to Jess from IDF, the set list was as follow:

Silence Is Golden
Gots To Get Her
Know My Name
Here's My Hello
End Of The World
1000 Miles
What'cha Got To Lose (with a SWEET slowed-down harmony at the end)
She Loves The Way
(The picture of the set list says Jealousy, but they didn't play that.)
Human (listed as I'm Just Human on the set list)
How Many Words
Emotional Waterfalls
Improv
Break Anotha

Seattle PI.com has a nice review of the show:

As could be predicted, Lewis' set ended with "Break Anotha," his record's first single. Prior to the song, Lewis, Ra Scion of Common Market, and A.D.D. broke into a 10-minute freestyle jam.

It was the highlight of the night because it showcased Lewis' genre-melding tendencies, starting as a Phish-style romp then taking a turn into hip-hop territory and ending on a ragtime note, complete with a horn section.

And here are some videos! I'll add more as they are published.
