Party Dress EP (Eileen Rose)

At the Tim Finn concert, I picked up opening act Eileen Rose's Party Dress EP. It's got some decent music on there. If you're into the sort of female singer-songwriter-guitar scene, you might enjoy hearing her. My favorite of the four tracks is "That's No Way to Say Goodbye."

Tracks:
1. Party Dress
2. That's No Way to Say Goodbye
3. Booze Talkin' (I Ain't Listenin')
4. New Penny

Set lists: Tim Finn with Eileen Rose

Instead of doing my homework, I used tonight to seize the opportunity to see Tim Finn in concert. I do not regret it at all. He put on a great, great show. There's a reason he's lasted so long in this business.

I'd not heard of his opening act, Eileen Rose, before, but she also had a good set. Apparently, Tim Finn actually contacted her via Myspace and invited her to tour with him. Pretty cool, eh?

Anyway, here are the set lists:

Eileen Rose
1. "sink right to the bottom" is one of the song's lyrics
2. "I need a prophet" and "forget about me" are phrases in the song
3. "pale yellow sun" is a lyric... and I believe the chorus talked about rain ... can you tell I don't know these titles? Sorry this is such a useless set list
4. Shining - one actual title for ya!
5. I'm the Only One - woohoo, two!
6. "it doesn't mean a thing" is in the lyrics
7. "Simple Touch of the Hand" - 3 actual titles!
