Bananas do it again

The Bananas tore San Francisco a gaping new one on Tuesday night. They played a sold-out show at the Bottom Of The Hill with Best Coast and Vivian Girls. Cassie from Vivian Girls asked them to play because, as she said on the mic, they are her "second favorite band next to The Wipers".



So there they were, warming up the crowd, but with a hungry fan contingent of their own. Hungry for more Bananas shows! Two brothers had flown in from Las Vegas to see the show, and one of them had a Bananas tattoo. MikeRMike was in rare form-cracking everyone up and performing scissor kick after flawless scissor kick. Even though I have seen the Bananas more than any other band, they can still blow my mind and give me goosebumps.



Best Coast were good, but they frontloaded their set with their best songs and played a little too long. Vivian Girls sounded great. I liked the new material. They sang an acapella doo-wop song and it was fucking adorable.



On a political note, if you are opposed to the mayor's new strong-ish mayor proposal, you should attent the city council meeting next tuesday and make your opinion known.
