That Show Totally Post-Rocked

Well, Lamar's came through again with really strong drinks and a fun show on Friday night. In fact when my neighbors wanted me to go to the Local to watch Melelee Roots on Saturday I almost thought about it but realized that it would be so ridiculously awful in comparison to Friday's show that my head might explode, so I didn't go. Anyways, Keith John Adams opened, then Casper and the Cookies played and then Elekibass. They were all really fun to see, starting with me walking in on the middle of KJA's set and him following me with a guitar and asking my name and then later dedicating a song to me while threatening me if I left because, as he said, "it's really embarrasing when you dedicate a song to someone and then they leave."

Well, I didn't leave, I stayed and loved both bands after him. Elekibass came out dressed in three-piece suits, something you sort of expect from Japanese alt-punk-post-whatever musicians, but with carnival masks as well, something I didn't expect at all. I ended up blowing a huge amount of money at the merch booth, but that gave me an excuse to stay home Saturday night and relive the night before with the assistance of my new stereo.
