Hello Kavita held their farewell show just before Christmas, bringing a few guests on-stage for some special treats at the end.  A set at UMS 2010 was supposed to be the group’s final performance, but that gig was canceled due to illness.  Both of the band’s superb albums are still available in physical or digital formats.

The Long Spoon collective (site forthcoming) celebrated a re-launch last weekend with the first in a series of monthly shows to be held at the Mercury Cafe.  Papa Bear was a pleasant surprise, reminding me of boisterous acts such as Nana Grizol or Andrew Jackson Jihad.
