no dancing in mansions
Last night was just what I needed. Though I did end the night with an extremely sore good leg (from relying on it way too much - maybe I need a fancy cane)… I came away with a new crush and a favorite new band. Plus it was nice to see some friends and just soak up a good show.
Icebird were fun… though I don’t know how they managed to play the show in full polyester sasquatch get up. Half way through, Barry tore the mask off. They probably lost 10 pounds.
Then came Scissors For Lefty. They are unsigned here in the States but are signed to Rough Trade overseas. And wow. Fun, dancey, catchy, and just fell hard for their music. The lead singer, Bryan, has a very charming vocal style. A little glammy but then the music is like a mixture of Blur and um… Rapture… and I don’t know. I’m not good at going into depth of influences in music. All I know is I totally dug them. I can’t stop listening to the EP I snagged for 5 bucks.
I’m completely tempted to go down to see them and FK in San Diego Saturday night. They were that good plus… I wouldn’t mind seeing French Kicks again. Their set was a little more laid back compared to the last time I saw them. They played several new songs and cover of a Fleetwood Mac song. The name of which escapes me at the moment. I always enjoy seeing them live and this was no different. Now… so tempted to go to SD…
More news about my knee saga… my mri was clean. The doctor thinks the scar tissue build up is what is causing the pain. Will have to work even harder in PT and he gave me a cortisone shot to help with the healing process and dissolve the scar tissue. It hurt like hell… still throbbing. But it’s another step to getting better. Crosses fingers.
