If it’s sunny and it’s Lexington, Big Fresh are making me smile. Though I missed out on hearing their new songs (Big Fresh Forever rules), the covers set was absolutely charming. We were treated to R.E.M, XTC, Blur, De La Soul, the Smiths, My Bloody Valentine, the Flaming Lips and many, many more covers.

However, the best part came from John’s daughter Violet, who started the set off with her cute interpretation of the belly dancing she’d just seen. As the band played the Velvet Underground’s “Who Loves the Sun,” Violet hiked her shirt up past her navel, stuck out her belly and shook around in a way that only a child can. The only moment that rivaled it also came from the underage sect. John noticed that one of the breakdancers was wearing the exact same red tracksuit as him and invited him up to dance while they did one of the two hip hop covers in their set (the name and band escape me at the moment). They were like twin wonders and I couldn’t keep the smile from my face.
