I went to college at Indiana University, where the local music scene can be pretty outstanding. When I was in school, there was a band called Arson Garden mentioned here before.
There was also a club, called Second Story which was pretty much where all the indie bands played (they still do, from what I’ve seen). Well, Second Story is having a 25th Anniversary extravaganza this weekend, and Arson Garden will be playing their one (and probably only) reunion show!!
Figures, I can’t go. _Sigh._ But if you are anywhere near Bloomington, Indiana this Friday night and you don’t check them out, you are really missing out on a great opportunity to see a phenomenal group of musicians.
And thanks to James Combs, Arson Garden’s lead guitarist/songwriter for the hat-tip on the show! He’s a great solo act as well, and I highly recommend you check out his site, too.
I did go last night and it was a beautiful set, full of everything we
all loved about Arson Garden. I believe it was 50-60 minutes.
A video was shot by the venue and it is supposed to be made
available at some point. They had an email sign up sheet for it.
I took a lot of pictures of them in the late 80’s/early 90’s so it was
really great to see them again. Sorry you missed out. Jon
