so this past friday, i went to my first local show in monnnnths -
since like december or something
it was so worth it, holy shit
it was one band we used to see all the time, 2 we've never seen, and one we discovered in december at the last show
i seriously, seriously urge you to listen to the downtowns
amber and i know the drummer, but we've never seen them play
they
are
unreal
a little folk, a little americana, a little rock
blended til smooth and served chilled
they were just so undeniably.... cool
from their fancy boots and grandpa sweaters, all the way to the 40 of malt liquor and the bottle of jd they were drinking throughout their set
there was this one point where the lead singer (francis?) broke a string on his guitar or something, and the rest of the band just played a crazy amazing instrumental while he fixed it...
the guitar player is fucking incredible
they lowered the house lights, [and by 'lowered the house lights', i mean someone flicked the light switch on the wall in the tiny little room we were in hahahaha], and put on these blue spotlights all around. the song itself was so fucking trippy
i felt like i was under water
swaying, back and forth
in slow motion
floating and spinning at the bottom of the ocean
i don't think i blinked once, i was so fixated and intrigued
at one point, the guitar player (chris?)
played by scraping his strings back and forth against the mic stand
ugh, they were so good
check out the other bands too most def:
rumbo tumbo
the hot and heavy
the riverwinds
the riverwinds are the ones that we've seen about 60 times
they even got to play bamboozle last year
nicest dudes, they always thank us for coming out
not to mention they're all painfully attractive
they too are specccccctacular
make ya wanna drink a beer and drive around with your friends,
yelling and singing out the windows into the cool summer night air
hell
yes
[75] i do my best work in the heat of the night, with a candle burning and a bottle of wine
