seeing The Drums perform is like seeing someone doing an impression of Morrissey going crazy at a 'The Strokes' themed karaoke party.

i liked roxanne's polka dot blouse.

Review: Wed 28 Sep – Veronica Falls, Heaven's Gate, The Hairs, McDonalds

i think roxanne had a cold. ah-choo

review:
Fri 16 Sep – Shimmering Stars Release Party: Shimmering Stars / Seapony / Chains of Love

it was loud.

also: hoped to see if rose melberg would make a better seapony vocalist but i will settle for her field mice cover band.

Review: Seapony/ Gold Leaves / Math and Physics Club: Fri 12 Aug – Concerts at The Mural 2011


there should be a mosh pit of grade school kids at every indie pop show.

Thu 17 Apr – The Thousand Names, A Sunny Day In Glasgow, The Be Neats, Deli Pub

I thought it was apt that a band not from Glasgow played in a bar not from Edinburgh. The stage right side was ear piercingly loud and I liked that cute little guitar that was brought out.

Thu 3 Apr – Ringo Deathstarr

All the bands put together makes an impressive gallery of the different iterations of the Fender Mustang/Jaguar family.

I think it's great when you can just hide how bad you can play through a cacophonous wall of pedals. Which I guess makes it good.

The T-shirts were very thin and somewhat cheap, though Holly tells me V-neck t shirts are pretty in style right now, but not as hot as they were last summer.
