My friends brothers band plays around the town fairly often, so I usually get updated of their shows via some sort of electronic social networking site. I saw that they where playing with Mass Cult Suicide and I was a bit befuddled as to why they'd be playing with such a heavy band (judging by their name...). I looked them up, and they were awesome.
I was going to scurry down to Off The Hip last week to pick up their album, but I wasn't sure if the rest of the nine songs would be as enjoyable as the two I heard. So I thought I'd brave taking my child-like face to the Tote to go see them on Friday. I really wanted to go but no one would come with me, then I got grumpy, forgot about it and did something else.
So, today I went into PBS and help out with writing mini-blurbs (which really just consisted of going to a bands Myspace, Ctrl C, Ctrl P, then a minor edit to make the sentences flow...like streams) for this wrap-around advert in Inpress for PBS Live Music Week. Bands have been coming in to prerecord their sets and today as I was trawling Off The Hip's webpage for info about Mass Cult Suicide, they totally started playing in Studio 5!
I was a bit excited and went and sat like a loser in the room with the knobs and shit, and watched for two songs. They were great, except the two songs that I heard, where the two that I already knew. But Dan Trolley is good lookin' in a fun looking way, so I'll probably buy his CD anyway.
