Think back to 1997 - doesn't seem like too long ago on paper, but yeah, a lot has happened since then. Tonight we jump back to 1997 to revisit one of our favorite artists, Abra Moore who is playing Cafe du Nord, tonight at 9:30pm. 1997 was a big year for her: a Grammy nomination for her hit single, "Four Leaf Clover" and her video featured on MTV and VH1. Fast forward to this year, Moore released her extremely beautiful and grown-up folk album, On the Way, and has been on tour ever since. We saw her earlier this summer where we nearly received a private performance. Though absolutely mesmerizing, Moore deserved better.

Another one of our favorites (though in a completely different genre,) The Crystal Method dropped their first album in August 1997. Ten years and four studio albums later, we have been inundated with The Crystal Method on TV shows (CSI, Bones, House and others), movies, video games and even commercials. Last week, they re-released their first CD, Vegas, The Deluxe Edition completely remastered. There is a bonus re-mix CD that features remixes by Paul Oakenfold, live versions and a couple of videos.

Let's bring 1997 back.
