Oh, you better believe that the pun in the hed is intended. Tonight at Crosstown: yacht rock tribute act Summer Breeze. And on Saturday from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Cambridge Church Park (16301 Roe): More of the same but free to attend (and with Quiet Corral and Funky Mama).
We spoke with bandleader Chris Sieggen about his love of smooth, complex harmonies, and why Steely Dan songs are hard to play.

Just give me an "I.G.Y.", for cripes' sake!
It is upon us. The Monsters of Yachtsail into Starlight on Saturday. The excitement borders on the perverse.
What will they play? On our conference call, McDonald mentioned his admiration for Fagen's solo debut, The Nightfly, which, oh my god that album is incredible. So that will be taken as a hint. But what else? I've compiled videos for five songs -- reasonable songs, not including hail-mary deep cuts from The Royal Scam -- I'm pining for.

Oh baby.
The Pitch's sister paper in St. Louis, the Riverfront Times, which in my sick fantasies is a bitter rival but in reality seems to be a friendly publication doing fine work, thought it scooped me last week when it landed an interview with Michael McDonald. It turns out McDonald hails from that gridlocked stinkhole of a city! Well, guess what, Riverfront Times? I talked to McDonald, too.
