Thou Shalt Not Make Reptitive Music

Every word from your mouth

So I lost a bet to A, I thought they were from the UK! and I was wrong. I just wikipedia-ed it and understand now why I thought they were from the UK, "Their music has reached the top ten in the United States and the top five in the United Kingdom".

The Ting Tings & Duke Spirit

So I heard The Ting Tings first on John Kennedy's Exposure and was surprised they we're performing a short stint at the Rickshaw Stop. They we're like the 2nd opening act but i was very excited and they did not disappoint. She was quite amazing. Kudos to Aaron for bringing them here in celebration of the SXSW going on in Austin.


Now the next opener, Duke Spirit wasn't quite my cup of tea. Although I did think she looked very Debbie Harry-esque. Don't you agree?

Editors @ Warfield

I'm still kicking myself for not having a camera on me when i watched them last year at the Fillmore. I was so close that i would have been able to get freakin' great pics. At the warfield, I couldn't even get close to the main stage area. Tom cut his hair- I was hoping to still see it unruly ala "An End Has a Start" vid but still hot.

Seriously, how could you not love Dave? The night started out pretty miserable. We were at Oakland Arena and it was pouring rain. But once the show got started, you forget your misery. This was one of the most awesome shows i've seen. They rigged a second stage that came floating down from the ceiling and used that as an acoustic stage. Folks who sat in the back much have gotten a treat. The picture right here was when he was walking up and down the aisle. Sigh. Dave. Drool.
