The Dirty Murls played first and I enjoyed them. They had kind of a Jawbox/Girls Against Boys sound going on. I definitely wouldn't mind seeing them again. North Dakota's Paper Hearts were next. I couldn't really get into them. It was just basic indie rock. Their last song was nice, though. The Histrionics were excellent. I felt they completely lived up to my hype. They played one song from their album that came out last summer and the rest of the songs were all new. This is the set they will be taking out on the road next month. As for the Mars Bar, I agree with Matt about it being Seattle's best kept secret. The sound is excellent for singer/songwriter types. I saw Michael Vermillion there about a week ago and he had the whole place mesmerized. For bands the sound is usually good to very good. The stage is pretty samll; a four piece band is cramped. The crowd is usually polite and attentive. The back bar in the Cafe Venus portion of the place is my favorite bar in town. It has a great jukebox and a cool view of the Space Needle. But shhhh! Part of the reason I love the place is that is somewhat of a secret. Saturday’s show was great. The Dirty Murls played first and I enjoyed them.

The sound has never sounded bad to me. The back lounge is a great retreat if the live show is not to your taste. Seattle's best kept secret IMHO. I wish I could go tomorrow. Second the Mars Bar.

They were pretty good. I'm curious about shows at Mars Bar in general. I've never been to a show there, does it sound good? I'm going to Blue Moon on saturday, so I'll miss it, but please post about the Paper Hearts. I've heard good things.
