It was a beautiful fall day today. Perfect to set off for Cape Cod to check out the big Hyannis Fall Festival, featuring Siobhan Magnus in a Halloween “Parade of the Horribles” and a performance afterward!
OK, I was off to a late start, so I totally missed the parade (Siobhan was also supposed to receive the key to the city beforehand). But I got there in time to see her Dad and his cover band play a few tunes.
And then, Siobhan appeared, looking radiant, to sing “House of the Rising Sun” with her father. After a little time to set up, her band, Lunar Valve joined her on the stage to sing 4 songs.
There was a nice crowd there for the festivities, ranging from babies to senior citizens. I have to admit I got a kick out of the WTF looks a few of the townfolk expressed when the band launched into their Cure-inspired goth rock. Heh.
The one song I didn’t manage to record (Cut me a break, I had to hold the camera above my head for most of the filming! Ow my arms!) was a hot bluesy number that really went over with the crowd.
After the jump, check out “House of the Rising Sun” and 3 of the 4 Lunar Valve songs.
UPDATE: Added “Ball N Chain” via tokillamurderer
