Crobot at Pov's

I started the month of August with another rock show at Pov's, this time the rock/funk group Crobot was headlining. This was my third Crobot concert, having last seen them on the side stage at Northern Invasion in Somerset, WI back in May. However, this was my first time seeing them perform a headlining set, so it turned out to be a special occasion.

I got to Pov's in Spring Lake Park, MN just in time to catch up with a couple of buddies that I usually hang out at shows with. I also got to chat with a few friends in the first opening act Fifth Hour shortly before they took the stage. You've probably read enough about these guys to know how much I dig their music, having last seen them on Sunday July 19th at Rockfest in Cadott, WI. The local fans were out in support, and they breezed through a half-dozen favorites.

I was impressed by the next band, three-piece rockers Mothership. They reminded me of Southern rockers Black Stone Cherry and classic rockers Monster Truck, and they really kept the crowd entertained with their bluesy ballads.

I missed the next act Wilson, because I was hanging back with some new and old friends talking about music. I heard a few songs in passing, but didn't hear enough to have an educated opinion about them - next time, I guess.

I got back to the main stage in time to catch Crobot's headlining set. They played all songs from their debut album, and threw in several new songs that have yet to be recorded. They're a fun band, and I was glad that my friends and I were able to chat with them and pose for a few goofy pictures after the show too. I came home last night with a Crobot setlist and a few stickers, and of course lots of memories of great music and conversations with some outstanding people.

Well, I think I'm finally all caught up on my concert reviews now. Until next time, have a great weekend, everyone!
