Ferraby Lionheart returned to Schubas to play a short set of mostly new material from his forthcoming album The Jack of Hearts due out in August. Unlike the last time I saw him when he played solo acoustic, Ferraby was backed by The Badgers, a trio of musicians from the supporting act Leslie & The Badgers (all but Leslie). With The Badgers backing him, Ferraby was able to rock out (relatively) and highlight his song composition. I couldn’t help but draw a connection to much-beloved Vetiver as well. Aside from a slew of solid new material, Ferraby also played a couple of his better numbers including ‘Small Planet’ and ‘Put Me in Your Play’.

While the show was short–45 minutes all told–I was able to purchase an advance copy of his forthcoming able The Jack of Hearts. From the first few listens I’m impressed and hope it gets some play. It’s a shame it’s taken him so long (just shy of 3 years) to produce a follow up to Catch the Brass Ring.

Was on appolicious.com the other day and came across a new iPhone photo app called Hipstamatic that simulates vintage photo techniques (and well). Ever noticed those cheap Holga cameras you find in the back of a shop like Urban Outfitters – same idea. While out wandering the city I gave it a spin and was actually impressed.
