three names you should probably know: lost lander, tan vampires, and papertwin. these three bands played a spectacular show at the (well-hidden, dimly-lit) cameo gallery in williamsburg on saturday night, one which i was fortunate enough to catch. papertwin opened with a characteristic blast of synth-driven noisepop, followed by tan vampires, a band unusually well-endowed in the realms of hook-writing, beards, and vocal performance. last but not least was lost lander, a spaced-out pop adventure from the nudie-bar wilds of portland who carried the venue with the unbearably catchy “cold feet” from their new-ish LP “DRRT”. photos (including after-show group shot with tan vampires) below:
in other news, additions have been periodically made to liminal since i last mentioned it. not sure where i left off exactly, but this probably include the financial district, fort greene, and red hook. chekkit out!
a few things. in no particular order:
- lest we forget, the vicky mendoza diagonal.
- new photos coming to liminal (flatiron district and fort greene).
- this is good, i’ve been listening to this. or a better-known, old (august) flame.
- in re the never-ending, agonizing, and at times hilarious / frightening republican primary: NPR and everyone else, in the course of considering this “divisive” primary’s effects on the eventual GOP candidate’s performance in the general election, please refrain at all times from comparing this race to the democratic primary of 2008. that was competitive because two segments of the liberal electorate were excited by two different (but strong) candidates. this one is competitive because no one can get excited at all by the only candidate granted the benediction of sufficient malleability by the united corporations of america.
requiescat in pace, chica. you were good and you will be missed.
well, it’s christmas eve. i feel terrible. i started a project called liminal. you should check it out. i’ll be adding to it as i damn well please. (that is, desperately often, in a brazen attempt to defer beginning the third draft of metabolism. ) really lousy.
remember this girl? in other news, i just overwrote this file. computarrrghhhh.
