Again, I know.
March 4, 2010
Yup, here we go again. Just bare with me here. The other night I was reminded of why. Why I go to shows, why I love music, why this blog needs to thrive for a little while longer. Last night my good friend Trisha Bui informed me of a show that was to occur in a nice little vintage clothing shop down in Laguna Beach. The band in want was Tomorrows Tulips; side-project of Japanese Motors frontman Al Knost and his pretentious hipster-ass girlfriend. Needless to say the hipsterometer was going crazy before we had even arrived. Well as the billing above shows our anxiety to see Tomorrows Tulips had to withstand two other bands. As we arrived around 7 to TrashPretty (yeah i know) the “venue” of the show. Upon arrival it seemed that Dirtdress had already played. Oh darn. As you can see from the flyer above we were about to be subjected to a band known as Mars and The Mess. As they came together and introduced themselves I couldn’t help but be struck by how young they looked. None of them looked over 20. As soon as they started playing I was taken aback by multiple things. They had a certain stage presence that definitely went beyond their years. And though their sound wasn’t quite refined it was actually quite enjoyable. I know I’m half-assing a show review right now but there’s more to this post. I discovered a wordpress application for my iPod touch. So now I’ll be blogging all the fuckin time! Stay stoked people. I’m on my iPod more than my cellphone. Good for you,……well maybe not. But whatever. Long live StR
