Notes from You, Me & Iowa at Spaceland (4/25/2009)

• I caught the last 10 minutes of Avi Buffalo's set. They were a lot better than when I saw them at 3 Clubs in March, and enough to convince me to make it out to the Echo at least once in May for one of their Tuesday residency shows.

• You, Me & Iowa are fun. Lots of energy, good crowd banter, seem like nice guys. Here's a video.
  

• The Hectors are a solid band. They're not going to blow your mind, but you're not going to want to leave their set early.

• We Are the Nights are new and have a lot of work to do, especially in the stage presence area.
