i only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me
hey, so quickly, i went to this local show last night, as it's Seattle, and there's always a local show, but yea, it was some finals for some contest, called "Big Shot." one of the newspapers up here put out a list of their favorite 13 up and coming local bands, and everyone voted, and they narrowed it down to the top 4, and they played last night, and it was a FREE show. anyway, the bands all kicked ass. they were The Emergency, The Romance, Tennis Pro, and Speaker Speaker, in that order.
The Emergency was my fav at first, because their guitar player looked like a tall, skinny version of john leguizamo with a fro, and he was wearing this outlandish pair of tight girl bell bottoms with american flags at the flare, and he had an american flag on his guitar too. then, out of nowhere in the middle of their first song, came their singer, who was this chick, who ROCKED the eff out. she was short, and fiery, and had a voice like uh... like maybe diana ross or something? anyway, they kicked ass, and if they had had a button, i would have bought one, but they didn't.
then came the Romance, who were, umm, marginal. like, i swear the singer guy is the same guy from She Wants Revenge, because they sounded exactly alike. and their bass player just kinda, did the bass player move. you all know what i'm talking about, where they keep their head down and walk forwards and backwards.
next came Tennis Pro, who cracked me up, because the guitar player was wearing an old school dress army coat, from like, maybe the Foreign Legion? and the bass player was dressed up like what i consider to be Richie Tenenbaum. then in their last song, they had a bunch of their (girl)friends run up on stage, in tennis-esque clothing, and dance around, a la "Laugh In." a couple of them were what i would consider "banging."
then the final band was Speaker Speaker, and they not only had buttons for me to buy, but they ended up being my fav. the guitar player was straight up rivers cuomo from 15 years ago. bass player kept trying to get all up in the guitarists flava and whatnot, but he was having none of it, and the drummer might have been the tightest, crispest drummer i've ever seen.
anyway, they ended up winning, Speaker Speaker, which shows i know how to pick a band, and if anyone ever sees them on MTV, know that i saw them back when. that was my fun filled saturday night, and i'll totally holla back at you kids later.
