June 1 - Digitata

Digitata

Contrary to popular belief, I don’t just go to The Haves Have It’s shows because I’m obsessed. I’m usually a big fan of the bands they play with too. For instance, if I missed The Haves’ recent show at the Entry, I would have sadly missed the return of Emily Dantuma and Ollie Dodge (ex-Vox Vermillion) in the form of Company Inc. More importantly, if I chose to stay home and play DDR, I would have missed Digitata’s best show ever. When they played their Stuck on AM 5 hit, “Digitata 4 Ever,” the Entry erupted and stayed in a constant state of motion for the rest of the night. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much dancing at an Entry show. And I can’t remember the last time I witnessed a sincere, non-premeditated encore like the one Digitata was forced to play.

By sheer coincidence, The Haves Have It’s original drummer’s band, Lazer Forever, was playing a CD-release show at the Varsity Theater that very same night. I stopped by the Varsity beforehand to pick up the CD (which is awesome). Unfortunately, I had to leave before Lazer Forever hit the stage, but I did manage to catch opening singer/songwriter Jason Shannon. Very pleasant.
