LOST SOULS OF THE GREAT LAKES This folk-rock ensemble,
made up of full-time and satellite members of Poi Dog Pondering, brings upwards
of nine musicians to the stage, and for their monthlong
residency at the Hideout they've been creating a romantic maritime mystique in
the cabinlike space of the club's music room. The
patrons at the show I caught last week were few, friendly, and apparently well
acquainted with both the musicians and one another; the band itself has a blokey, jokey stage presence, and
I'm always up for more Pogues covers. The intimacy of
the setting is nicely offset, though, by a sad grandeur permeating the music.
They play again tonight and next Wednesday. Jane Baxter Miller and Painted
Saints open.
