Who rocks the party that rocks the body?

So kiddies, it happened. I actually saw Les Savy Fav last Friday night at Brooklyn Masonic Temple. It was amazing!!!! While they didn't play "The Lowest Bitter" they did break out "Patty Lee," "We'll Make A Lover Of You," "Raging in the Plague Age," and "The Sweat Decends" to name a few. It was a sleepver themed show with Tim Harrington wearing a woman's nightgown and shower cap. Oh yeah and some sort of green face stuff. There was a pillow fight, a game of Light as a feather, stiff as a board and lots of liquids flying everywhere. Epic! Opening act Sean Bones was pretty wicked too.

I'm headed off to Austin tomorrow morning for SXSW! Yes I know that it started today but there will still be lots of fun to be had when I get there tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be able to take loads of pictures to document how rad it will all be. I'm probably going to be severely exhausted too, but that's alright. It's just a few days and it'll be lots of fun!

If anyone actually reads this thing and wants to keep up with what I'm doing in Austin, feel free to visit my Twitter. I'll be updating that as often as I can (or whenever something cool happens).

I just see you

'Ello! Here are some photos from The Duke Spirit/Mobius Band/Shilpa Ray and The Happy Hookers show a few weeks ago at Music Hall of Williamsburg.  More photos here.

I waste all our time

I'm so terrible! Haven't written in weeks and it's 11:30 pm on a Monday night. I usually can't get to sleep at a reasonable hour on Monday nights as my sleeping schedule is off because of the weekend, so I'll probably be awake for another hour or so.

March is here and in a few weeks I will be attending SXSW in Austin for the first time ever in my life! I am beyond stoked, kind of anxious and already overwhelmed. There's just so much going on! A friend of mine has been sending me party updates over the past 2 weeks and I can already tell that there's no way that I'll get a chance to see everyone I want to see, even though most bands are playing more than two shows it seems. I hear White Denim played around 14 shows last year! Insane! Anywho, I'm looking forward to catching sets from The Pains of Being Pure At Heart, COYH, The Love Language and my lovely friends Entertainment and The Prids. The Prids and Entertainment are both playing the Post-punk.com show at Spiderhouse on the 19th so I've gotta find myself there at some point to see their sets. I haven't seen The Prids in probably two years so I'm definitely due. Can't wait to hear "Shadow and Shadow" and (hopefully) "Before We Are" live again.
Last night, Nerrissa, Jeazette, Adhalia and I went to The Haunt to see a few bands play. Caught sets from Beyond The Reach, Terrorsaur, Nine Days to Drop, For The Foxes, Romance N' Ruin and Ever Since. The Haunt is located in Yonkers and I was shocked to find that there was a venue so close to my house! I never would've guessed. It's definitely a great place for smaller local and up and coming bands to play and reminds me a lot of the main floor of the Masquerade back in Atlanta.

I've been to three great shows over the past few weeks including the Shakes at Southpaw, The Duke Spirit at Music Hall of Williamsburg and the Rabbits at Mercury. All were fantastic. Gotta talk about Shilpa Ray and Her Happy Hookers who played both The Shakes and Duke Spirit shows. This girl is amazing! She has kind of haunting yet commanding voice and plays a harmonium on stage. I'm kind of always fascinated when someone plays an instrument that you don't really see in most bands so Shilpa is a breath of fresh air. She's one of those performers that you can't keep your eyes off. She and her Happy hooker will certainly make a lot of noise this year.

I'm thinking of purchasing a tripod for my camera and think that I've settled on this one. I really want to start taking daily outfit photos. Anyone have any suggestions?

Also trying to find a good pair of ankle skinny jeans or jeans that fit like leggings that I can wear with my Besty Boots so drop a line if you have any ideas for that as well. Jeazette said that I should look into J Brand but they're a bit more than I'd like to spend.
