dr.dog show...












i know these pics probably downloaded a bit strangely- but i'm not blog genius as you can see. :)october, cutie and i had bought tickets to see them- we thought it would be the cherry on top to our wedding weekend... it would've been had we not passed out from all the wedding business whirlwind that we got caught up in! i had even reminded myself the day before thinking in my head what i would wear, alas, that night, i wore my pajamas. SO, last tuesday, the cutie and i went to the dr. dog show at the henry fonda theater. minus a giant who worked his way infront of me during the show- who insisted on having his arms raised and hi-fiving people throughout the show, the show itself was great! :)
they sang all the songs from their new album and i shuffled my little feet in dance with teh crowd. dr. dog is one of my favorite bands right. there are two main singers- one has a small, gentle little boy voice. (he's the one wearing the shades). the other singer has a more raspy manly voice that can range from sad beautiful drawls- to upbeat singing with some good throaty howls. it's the kind of music, that when i listen to, it makes me close my eyes and just daydream. the lyrics to their songs capture certain memories and feelings that i've had before. they're lyrics and voices makes me playback seconds of a song, just to hear their voice fade or howl a certain way. this was my third time seeing them and cant' wait for them to come back. i can't pick a favorite song or album of theirs, it's just to difficult. if i were to mention one, i'd be leaving out another that i feel is just as great but in a different way. i'm not that great at describing music to people- as i find my self with a loss for words and all i end up saying is, "Trey are soooo good, oh my god, their voices, the way he sings this one word... i love them, they are so good!" so- are two vids that i found on youtube...

pale young gentlemen? yes please.


Oooh! alrighty- so i'm not working today for veterans day and so i have some time to load up some pics! :)
sunday, i went with robby to see a band named pale young gentlemen at the knitting factory in hollywood- they were soOOoO good! i really wanted to move up to the front of the stage, but i'm a bit of a shy bunny, so i was a bit firghtened to move up on my own to dance-- so i jsut danced where i was standing. i also didn't want to get in the way of any people trying to take pics.
they were so spectacular though! i was glad that they stopped by in la for a show- the lead singer mike is a good friend of robbys from high school- so it turned out that the whole band camped out in our living room! ahehehhe, our first "official" houseguests! :) other than playing great live tunes, they're all super nice! :)
the next morning, robby woke up bright and early to pick up some portos for breakfast. i helped him in and we set out the food, little by little, one by one... everyone started waking up and all wandered slowly thru the dim living room and stumbled towards the kitchen... the smell of portos is always super spiff in the morning! so- our first houseguests got a tasty little breakfast from our favorite cuban bakery...and they all seemed to really enjoy the tasty treats- yay!
i got a shirt (which are all printed on AA brand soft shirts) and some stickers, the stickers were doodled by the lead singer, they're really cute, of little swan-like birdies... i forgot to take pics of them, some "blogger" i am! well- all in all, i have to say, if you get a chance to see them... DO IT! you should check out their website:
if you can't make it to the show, you can also buy their new cd and merch off the site. now everyone should go and get some new tunes by pale young gentlemen! :)
