Review:

The last night of the year at mickey's lounge was a fun one indeed! A great large crowd was there in support, and a wonderful festive vibe filled the entire evening! Matt & Brad's first set was excellent - featuring the debut (for the feelin' good show) of Matt's classic JUST IN TIME (FOR XMAS TIME), and a gorgeous rendition of HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE XMAS. Tears were shed in the audience as matt & brad did very emotional performances of SOMETHING TO LIVE BY and MATH CLASS. 
    Leonora's GIRL SANDWICH was fantastic, opening with GIMME, and a strange little 'foodgasm' Leonora's intense words had the audience in the palm of her hand till she finished with spoken word metal: PAIN. Matt & Brads second set was riddled with technical difficulties (such as 5 guitar strings breaking) so most of the set was done solely on piano. AS I GO ALONG was particularly beautiful tonight with Rose Record's gorgeous vocals, a solo performance of WICKED LITTLE TOWN was nice, and Matt & Brad did Tori Amos' WINTER for an encore in tribute to the season and their dear friend Diana Hooper moving away.
