And in that case you would be WRONG!
We got out to seeing the Giraffes’ home cumming show at Mercury Lounge this past Saturday (4/12) and as always I had my head thoroughly rocked then blown to shit. I just cant get enough of them. It’s basically the best thing I’ve experienced, second to getting laid…seriously. And now I’m sitting here with a busted knee and a sore back remenissing (i’ll get audrey to fix the spelling on that.. audrey says: reminiscing! but i want to leave it the other way because it has more character..) on the night.
So where to start…well after acquiring ourselves some Malibu for the evening’s festivities we headed back over to Mercury Lounge and there was the one and only, 60% gay man with the plan, Damien Paris. (you know i really like these guys, even outside of their music, they’re awesome) and this mother fucker greets us with the biggest hug…and kisses… (He’s definitely the only guy i could watch grab Audrey and fake hump her with a strap on dildo and not be upset). I’m waiting on my Dodo…man still waiting.
Awkward moments pass involving an old Chevy and a self proclaimed anti-christ, then Drew comes along. I’m interested in seeing his new lotto commercial, put that shit up you filthy son of a bitch!! Just so you many readers out there know, if it does get on the internetz it will be founded here, check that shit out anyway, then when you’re done creaming your pants write me a report. 350 pages minimum, I want it on my desk by Wednesday.
Didn’t see Jens till after the show… but cool is he
Then be the Aaron, who most unfortunately on the last fucking show of the tour basically loses his voice… and yet once they hit the stage (after the power pop wonder that is Wormburner, which I’ll leave up to Audrey to write about if she feels so inclined to) he still can relentlessly belt out the vocals the same way this mother fucker always does. Now it may only be from screaming at the show or maybe sharing drinks from the stage with Aaron, and just about everyone else, but it’s two days later and my voice still feels shot…
“Laryngitis, the other STD!” Ha, that shit doesn’t even make sense.
Now that I’m done raving on about the Giraffes like a gay little fan boy, Stay tuned for Audrey’s notes on the show….
