well, I guess it's not last minute exactly, it's tomorrow. Caroline Pennypacker Riggs, one half of one of the best new bands around, the Finches, is playing an acoustic house show tomorrow. It's at Margaux, DP and Jessicas place (this place doesn't really have a punko name even after all these years) which despite the fact that I lived there for a long I can't remember the address of right now! It's on the corner of 11th and U, across from the school. It starts
at nine, Danny Offer is playing too and dark dark mask (ATTENTION all bands stop saying you are 102 years old on myspace, that's not really funny in the sense that it isn't really a joke, plus it is interesting to know how long a band has been around) there will be a pre-show BBQ. Do not miss this! Carolyn's voice is so filled with character, it really stands out from a sea of pretty singing (well, it's pretty also, but it's warm and just, unique, I don't know how to describe it). I don't know what songs she'll be singing, Finches or other stuff. When I was trying to find a photo of her (this one of her and her bandmate from the Finches is the only one on the internet) I was not surprised to note that again and again people call her and the Finches "charming". It's true, she will charm the pants off of you.
Also playing is dark dark mask.

dark dark mask is one dude, he opened the last Thanksgiving show. sort of a cross between some of the Thanksgiving/Microphones related bands and maybe Fursaxa since he uses that sampling pedal instead of having bandmates.

What time is she playing at? I am trying to see Strangers With Candy that night, too.

Such a dark mask. I own this thread.

as for time niki, I don't know, margs? i wanna see strangers with candy hecka bad too but even if it bombs it will be there for at least a week. i would guess she'll play around 1030
ReplyDeleteShow starts at 9:00, so yeah she'll probably play around 10:30pm. It can't go too late cause I've got a downstairs neighbor who likes to yell at only me. But she's crazy so I just ignore her.
ReplyDeleteMargaux
Bands don't put in an age. It's a myspace thing, I can't figure out how to make it go away but find it annoying as well.
ReplyDeleteher voice sounds too much like chan marshall...
ReplyDeleteI could think of worse voices to sound like.
ReplyDeletewhy don't people ever sign when they write stuff like that? stand behind your opinion. i'v barely heard cat power but i'm guessing their song structure and lyrics are totally different, so what are you trying to say exactly, do you think she tries to sound like her? do you have a quota of each type of female voice that you will listen to? clarify please
ReplyDeleteok, I'm streaming the newer cat power song "the greatest" right now and you are so full of it, anon. Chan's voice is way raspier and bluesier. Carolyn's voice is very clear and not raspy at all.
ReplyDeleteer, i mean album, not song
ReplyDeletei don't think there's a single cat power/finches comparison that can be drawn. not even close. i like both bands but don't see a single similarity, in fact, they're kind of opposites.
ReplyDeleteActually, when I first heard the Finches, I thought her voice did have a similar sound to the Cat Power lady, but it's a whole different style of music and singing all together. BTW the only cat power album I like is "moon pix".
ReplyDeletere: bands that say their 101 years old
ReplyDeletewhy is this annoying you? some bands like to ROCK...and some bands like to ROll, back the clock!
ha,ha that clever joke goes out to charles A. i lovya buddy
"whatr U doinghere"
hey margs, remember the crazy downstairs neighbor at 14th st? and her favorite summer night pastime? which was...(...= dramatic pauses) takeing meds and drinking a 12'r while... over watering her lawn so... she could drive all the snails out to the sidewalk where... she could crush them!!! and if i happend to be coming home, she would preach to me that peter was also a snail... a snail she would like to crush!!!
her other favorite pastime (please sing in the style and to the melody of Trapped In The Closet, to my new joint Trapped in bowsers castle)
was... "to call the cops and tell them i was having a partee, when i wasn't havin that type of party. i was just having a mario party"
cops come "knock knock knock"
"the police say"
"sir are u having a party" "cause there's been reports of noise froma party" "and there's a lady downstairs and she says you are?"
me "can't you see", "this ain't no time to party"
"because i'm too busyeeee" "savin the princess"
"AND YOU POLICE R KEEPIN ME" "EE" "from savin the princess" and "i wanna save the princesssss" "from the evil king bowser" ...but "I'M TRAPPED" "i'm trapped in bowsers castle" and "i gotta find my way thru bowsers castle"(thats a cliff hanger there see becuase like i'm trapped see and this police is distractin me because of susan who is a new character i'm about to introduce ...from saving the princess)
"so i send the police down to question my drunk and nosey neighbor" "susan my crazy neighbor"
the police say "lady" "relax and stop crushin all them snails" susan says "THIS ISSSS HOW I RELAXss" "and no i won't stop crushing thems" "but before the police and susan could say anything more" "They were interupted" "interupted by a scream" "because i let out such a SCREAM" "don't you see" "EE" "i just saved the pirincess(i frgot her name but i'm positive it ryhmes with scream)!!!"
