Last night, after erin, cathleen and i cracked open a few tall boys, designed a blunt from a swisher sweet, and discussed upcoming shows (NOFX on february 11th anyone?) we walked to The Fillmore to see The Walkmen...
Beach House: I want to be in a beach house with these two playing. however, it took me a minute to convince Erin and Cathleen that the singer in front of us was a woman (her voice is low and sultry, her brunette mane half covering her face)..
The Walkmen:
ever since i heard their new album "You and Me" (i'm a new fan) i can't stop listening to it... "Donde esta la Playa" and "On the Water" are just mesmerizing. Frontman Hamilton Leithauser easily woos all the ladies (and men, i'm sure), but i gotta say that upright piano and the brass section melted me. although i wished more people had been swaying to the songs (most were immobile with their hands stuck in their pockets until the booming cheers at the end of each song), when a band plays music with such sweet emotion, all that matters is your little spot in the theater and YOUR experience.
to top it off, we got the usual cool posters (Thanks, Fillmore, for being so totally awesomeeeee) and i ran into my friends from high school, Harrison and Trevor. Oh yea, and we went to Friends Liquor, danced to the blaring techno music, and i bought stouffers mac and cheese.
