On Valentine's Day, The Heavy Boxes returned to the Ukulele Cabaret and played three songs. Melanie didn't think she was going to be able to make it, but pretty close to the last minute, thankfully, she figured things out, which means I didn't have to resort to plan B: a mournful solo rendition of Cher's "Believe."

We were expecting a sparse crowd, considering the holiday, but were surprised to find the place pretty packed - definitely the biggest audience so far. There were new performers, too - overall, probably the strongest set of musicians so far, playing covers of Leonard Cohen, Sam Cooke, Magnetic Fields, Lily Allen, etc. We went on near the end of the night, when ukulele fatigue is easy to set in, but I think we reinvigorated the crowd with the Uke Cabaret debut of our friend the drum machine (someday soon we will have to name him).

I'm going to post videos of our performances in separate posts...right....NOW.
