One of the tidbits I caught wind of at David Uosikkinen and Dallyn Pavey’s In the Pocket project CD release show at Ardmore Music Hall (and man, the place had the grape-ish smell of Aussie hair spritz piercing the club’s air) was that one of the night’s vocalists,Richard Bush, was putting the finishing touches on an EP (Back Together) with The A’s, the band he started with guitarist Rick DiFonzo and keyboardist Rocco Notte, “There’s really nothing at stake, no pressure, no label, no tensions,” says DiFonzo. “Just having fun. We sound like us only better.” When I asked if Bush would still have the white beard that he donned at the In the Pocket show, DiFonzo said with a laugh, “His is, very fortunately, the only beard in the band, and won’t be there long.” Their next gig is at The Social at Revel, July 5, at 8 p.m. Before I get off the topic of In the Pocket’s Ardmore show, the gig had local celeb attendees such as WMMR DJ Pierre Robert, chef Chris Scarduzio, top dog Philly lawyer Nino Tinari, scribe Stephen Fried, and a.kitchen’s David Fields. Watch for this same crew to head to Havana in New Hope on May 17 for the next In the Pocket show after  Uosikkinen and the rest of the Hooters return from Germany.
