Wow, I haven't updated this thing since may!!
What can i say that hasn't already been said? Not much. I saw Sonic Youth perform
"Daydream Nation" on Saturday and i can safely say It was in my top 10 possibly 5 best live shows EVER! I don't think i ever need to see them again because i don't think i could get better (but i know i will!)
I had some people here and it went well. I fell asleep at like, 2:30 on the couch and woke up again at 4. I was out of it. Die Hard 2 was on. Not a bad thing to wake up to.
Paper Cities are playing 2 shows (so far next month) Aug 13th, at the Knitting Factory with The Brooklyn What, The Saudi Agenda and The Delaware Stringasm. Everyone knows each show needs at least one band that doesn't have a "The" in the title. We're just fillin the Quota. We're also playing at The Lit Lounge on the 22nd. Come to one or both of these shows to see us in a real venue!
