An Evening Of Unknown Pleasures... i don't know dude

So Peter Hook is playing Unknown Pleasures live for the 30th anniversary of Ian Curtis' death and he will be visiting NYC in December. Am I going? hmmmmm.....
Hell yes!

• Crunchy bass vibrating my ear drums
• As close as I'll ever get to seeing Joy Division
  
• SHADOWPLAY
• Peter Hook's beard
• Hearing the "back in the day" stories by grandpa goths at the bar
• Maybe randomly playing Monaco's "What Do you Want From Me"
  

Hell to the no!

• Co$t... this is going to hurt
• "What do you mean Love Will Tear Us Apart wasn't on this album?"
  
• Has a new band, has a new club... Anniver$ary of Ian Curti$' death?
• "I have the rare textured sleeve... got it off ebay"
• It will prob. be packed= elbows in the tits
• Webster Hall smoke machines smell like ass syrup

I'll let you know in December!

The Residents!

Last night I went to see The Residents. I'm not a hardcore fan, but I've always have been really curious about their live shows. I headed over to Webster Hall last night and I did enjoy their set. I think it's funny when people say things like "I could do that" about bands like The Residents. Then why haven't they? Even I appreciate them and I started getting a little restless after an hour or their two hour set. I liked the story-teller part of their performance with different disoriented characters. I've never experienced anything like that at a show and it's definitely a unique one of a kind performance. It freaked me out at points, but that's what The Residents want, no?

Show this week that's not sold out (yet)! Camera Obscura!

I LOVE this band. They're what indie-pop should be...

I haven't been able to make it to their shows because they've been sold out last time they came around.

If you like good pop music by cute girls that look like they stepped out of the '60s, go to this show!

Their new album is great too! Check out my review...

WEDNESDAYJune 24th, Webster Hall, $20

We'll see if I could make it out to the city this week
