Ignite documents and get warm from the Ink of the burning alphabet

holla holla

OK so last week I went to see CHIEF. It was amazing as usual and they got an open invitation to come back and play @ Music Hall anytime! Which is exactly what they are doing on September 18 with The Stills and The Kiss Off. Will post deets as soon as we get a flyer going.

Anyways the concert was super fun with all my favorites in attendance (Sarah, Karen, Zani, the big PA) Also in attendance Mary Kate Olsen (!) who I can testify was dancing her pants off. But the best thing about the night is that I got hang out with Dananananaykroyd. Who is this band with a silly name you ask? Well, they are a six piece from Glasgow. They have two drummers, which play off each other amazingly and are just all around great pub laddish fuzzy rock that you just want to get wasted and jump around to. Anyways they were there having a "night out" with their label manager (and bffl of Paul Adams) Anthony Shaw while here recording their record. Even if they were shite (which they weren't) I would have loved them anyways, because they were so funny I almost died. Like I woke up the next morning and my abs hurt. Their lead singer wasn't there, so I can't attest to his character, but Laura is incredibly sweet (and married to Barry from the Futureheads! Lucky duck), John seriously had me in stitches the entire night, David commiserated with me about being ID-less, Paul made me giggle with his one liners, and Duncan and I bonded over Joy Division. I mean what more can you ask for in a group of musicians? Not much, I say.

I had only really heard of them when I met them, because of my soul sistah and new music expert Brianna but since I have been listening to them quite a bit and they have gotten me through some tough days I will say that. Here's a hype machine link to their single Some Dresses

Anyways, Duncan took some a couple of pics. Im only in two though, so those are the only ones I will show you. because I am vain.

I look my worst and most drunk when I am sober. My life is full of horrible, horrible irony.
