Still chopping up the audio from my interview with Ezra Furman, of Ezra Furman and the Harpoons fame, but I hope you will enjoy the piece I should have together tomorrow here on the site. Will feature images, audio and thoughts from the conversation I had with the man himself an hour or so before his band played at the Double Door last Friday night. Good show, great conversation. Hope you check back.
I was lucky enough to see AA Bondy and Elvis Perkins in Dearland last Saturday night with Jen after we took in another ridiculously satisfying and rich dinner at La Sardine. I wrote a full review for Muzzle of Bees; what an unbelievable performance. If you want the condensed version, go to http://5sentencereview.com. Also, if you are not yet following @muzzleofbees, and you listen to rock and indie music, check him out.
A couple of funny things happened at this show that are worth noting. Halfway into AA Bondy's set, some dude yelled out "Slow Parade," which is the anthem from Bondy's new record "When the Devil's Loose." Bondy had played this about three songs back, fucking perfectly, no less, and yells back "Thanks for letting me know you weren't here for the beginning." This was bad, but it was to get worse.Perkins is tooling along in his set, and stops to ask for a sing-along, which was rebuffed by a crowd content to just stand there and drink. Afterward, Perkins laments the audience’s participation, calling it, “the best we’ve heard on tour.” After a weak applause, Perkins continues, “that’s not true.” Dude stole my line!It goes on. Perkins: We just got back from a tour of Europe.Comments [0]
