Past Couple Days.
Despite all this wear and tear my heart is enduring, I couldn't let it stop me from seeing the rock. Wednesday night it was brought in full force. Builder, Rob and I popped into Kai Kai for a quick Thai bite before heading into the Mercury Lounge to see a big rock show. First on the bill was the Chicago four-piece called the Changes. I really wanted to see these guys because the Bahamas played a show at the Knit with them last year and they were impressive. Wednesday showed the same promise for these guys. They play melodic pop with hints of the Smiths, the Clash (on the reggae tip) and some Costello. Hopefully these guys will be coming around again. I hear that some kats at Startime are watching their progress.
Next up was Child Ballads featuring Stewart who is the former lead singer of Jonathan Fire Eater. This duo took nearly an hour to set up two guitars so I wrote them off quickly. Their 4 song set didn't impress me at all and Stewart's Perry Farrell manurisms were overplayed. Their songs could have used work. It seemed like one big chorus with little variation between each tune. It was boring and it was holding up the rest of the evening.
Bring on the Shout Out Louds! This swedish rock band took me by surprise. Good straight ahead rock that is heavy on the keys and the vocalists apprehension (intentional or not) was welcomed. I got to chat with Jinners for awhile and she passed me the Dirty on Purpose recording which is pretty solid. Go check them out at the Knit tonight.
The French Kicks were up next, and by this time I was sauced. They played tons of new tunes. It was the first time I saw the band with Nick as the official front guy. His lanky body was a bit scary, and I thought he was going to go through the roof, but they delivered a stellar French Kicks performance. We can only speculate on how the next record will fair in the press, but hopefully it will do better than the last.
Getting By With A Little Help.
Well, I'm now in Kinko's checking my email. I left work early because the chest pain just won't quit. I want to send a quick thanks to all of you who dropped me a line with concern. Rest assured Hugs and Morphine is all I need.
Here are some links from kids looking to help the hurt:
Whitney passed me this jem on how David Hasselhoff stopped the Cold War. Let's here it for this guy!
Noah dropped me this link to a review of what could be the movie of the year. Upon Beach's return we will drinking 40's and hitting this thing up. Anything with sports is automatically good. He also sent me this French Kicks interview with some NYU assbag.
Christian sent me this link to the new Courtney Love video and he claims its the best thing ever. You be the judge.
And finally Paul sent me this piece of gold. Are you Mary Kate or Ashley Olsen? Check this out. Genius.
That's it for now. This was all a bit rushed. These bastards charge you by the minute. Can anybody help me steal the internet? I don't mean the whole thing. Just enough so I can do this from the comfort of my own home. Hopefully I'll see you all later.
