Ladytron was awesome. And when I say awesome, I mean great. The visual effects, the voices...everything - what a great show. Hung out with the crew from Ladytron afterwards....very nice peoples. They're the kind of band you check out, and immediately go home to find out if another one of their upcoming dates falls into any sort of out-of-town travel that you have coming up...they're that good.
Pretty Girls Make Graves? So good. So great. Another fantastic team that I would go and see every single time they come to town, or anywhere near this area. They were very tight musically - made ya wanna dance. But alas! Shoegazers! ARGH! What is with this annoying species? We have a great band on stage, obviously doing their thing, kickin out the jams...and what do we have? An audience that doesn't give back ANY love to the highlight on stage. SO ANNOYING! I tried to make my way up to the front of the stage, and was stopped dead in my tracks by a pair of 15-year old girls that did not want anyone taller than them standing anywhere near them. They said a few choice words about my covert ninja-like tactics, so I backed off, and let them continue to stare at the stage with absolutely no bodily movement or gyration, displaying their joy and excitement for PGMG. You better watch out shoegazers. I will take you down. I will take you down to China-town. Don't be hatin...
What else is going ON? Jurassic 5 is next week. I won tickets. Yeah you read that right. I'll be there.
What are we listening to out there? Anyone want to comment? Anything good?
I've heard some good stuff lately:
The Mercury Program (need to pick up some of their stuff) With Honor Dabrye
"Punch The Floor" was formerly used to describe a hard-core dance. Through intense research spanning 3 decades and nearly 40 billion people, we've found that one can feel like Punching The Floor through ALL types of music. This is what this blog is for; to bring to light new and interesting music, and spread the tingley "Punch The Floor" love. People who should not read this, and/or comment: drama queens, and indie snobs. Comment freely, no profanity.
