More love for the hometown than the stop signs
Friend and I have just returned from a free BBNG show down at Sonic Boom (now residing beneath Honest Eds). It was so good it got me thinking of crazy ideas like opening a store kitty corner, called Dishonest Ted's (or something similarly shitty). Those Bad kids have some real talent, and it was clearly on display. Tonight's official show should be top-notch. Why not drop out of music school if you've got the press all over you and an offer to play Coachella?
BBNG @ Sonic Boom
Last night's show was a pretty big disappointment until Dirty Mags took to the stage and played some very The Cure-ish tracks. It was not was I expected, as their lone youtube vid and name suggested a more gritty and raw punk ethos, rather than dark pop. But after listening to some shitheads from London whine about their girlfriend leaving them and their best friend hating them to cheesy chord progressions, maybe the bar was set too low. The filth clips use of reverb on the mic liberally, but to good effect. I'm not usually a big fan of people that only sing and don't play any other instruments, but this dude was pretty good.
After that madness we bumped into this girl I met on the internet, and had to explain to her that I didn't pursue her affections because she's a heavy smoker, but really I just couldn't admit to her that it was because of her profuse use of "le sigh". I couldn't be the social assassin last night. But with training... NINJA STRIKE!
