MONDAY!!!!!!

The other night, I just have to say, was perfection.  Went to the show around 10 and there was next to no one there.  It was just me and My friend Meg in my party.  About eleven Future Islands went on.  I have seen there names on a lot of club posters and events, so I knew they would be good, but they were great.  The played a whole bunch of new stuff.  And were nice and high energy.  Plus the Zodiac space is great.  They left more room for dancing this time than before so me, being a dancer, really appreciated this.  They had a somewhat electronica sound very dance-able, with a lead singer whos voice and demeanor was a bit punk, a softer version of LeTigre with the same idea maybe.  Plus I think the lead singer was wearing the same pants my high school Marching band had.  Hooray!

Second, was the always amazing Dan Deacon.  I'm so glad I got to bring Meg to his show since she only got to see him in the hirshhorn sculpture garden.  This was the best show I had seen of his in a long time.  First of all, the crowd seemed to be a bunch of his friends from Purchase College, who were wicked fun.  My friend Benjamin was there (who I'm totally in love with, and does amazing work {www.showbeast.net} just throwin' it out there)  and I was talking to him before the show, when he said Dan was only going to play songs he wrote from 01 to 04 (the years at Purchase) I didn't know what to expect.  This was me being stupid and not realizing I saw him in 05 so it was pretty much the same music and bantar that I love.  Any absurdist commentary about Space Jam is fine by me.

So, I know there is usually some form of interactive dancing, I know the last time there was a dance circle, where two had a dance off then chose people from the crowd to go next, I didn't know Meg and I would be 2 of 6 girls there.  Therefore we were definitely chosen for the dance off.  Hopefully no one was scarred for life by my braless moves.

So yeah that was great, but after all that shakin' a leg, we were way pooped.  We stayed for a couple Blood Baby Songs, which had a great beat, also funny bantar from Adam Endres But the Band had a lot harder and definite rough edge.  I'd love to see them a time that is not 1:30 at night when I have to teach at 7 the next morning.  Anyway, it was a great night, I recommend those acts highly.  I'm so glad my friend Megan was there to share it with me.  Thanks again for the Ass and titties call out.
