What can I say. All this time when I thought I had such a firm grasp on all activities associated with the hipster lifestyle, DJ Tepr had to remix Yelle's A Cause de Garçon and some well groomed pseudo-mulleted triad had to frolick around in candy-colored high-tops all dancey and whatnot. I can't even being to wrap my brain around this choreography.
Here's some pics of my cameras getting to know each other, on a macro level.
(don't let that PBR soak your feathers too much, Mr. Pigin ^_^. and as always, super hip besos back at you)
It remains so cold

And footless leggings
I'm rolling my eyes
At your Brooklyn Heights brownstone.

Sixpack France features many talented graphic artists on undeniably hip shirts, including record label Ed Banger's in-house designer So Me. It's a good thing I don't know the conversion rate between Euros and US Dollars, because otherwise I'd be spending quite the pretty penny to stock up on my seasonal neons.
Hey Indie/Japanese Voxers!
So tonight there is this big Halloween party being put on by my school's independent radio station, featuring a collective of Indie and Japanese pop/rock bands:
- THE PLOT TO BLOW UP THE EIFFEL TOWER
- GREEN MILK FROM THE PLANET ORANGE
- USASIAMONSTER
- THE MALL
- ZOoOoOm
ANIMENTAL- HENRY TENNIS
Has anyone heard of these bands before? And if so, would the concert be worth going to? (I have a lot of work tonight, so I'm trying to organize my time wisely!)
Happy Halloween everyone! <3
So, I ended up attending the concert for the first half of the set, catching the end of Henry Tennis and purchasing their CD after listening to some of their music before hand. One of the members sold it to me directly, and thanked me for coming out to see them. Apparently they had come out to perform a single show somewhere else on the east coast, and came to play at our school for free, and are heading back to Japan soon.
Next came Animental. Not good. I appreciate the fact that there is a trio of girls trying to make their way into the grunge/indie/rock movement, but they really need to learn how to play their instruments better. I don't mean to be cruel, but they came off as really inexperienced and as though they relied on their performance/dance pieces to support their hipster cred.
Finally, ZOoOoOm came to the stage with an incredible performance. I'm not well versed in genre music talk, so I cannot really explain what genre they fell under extactly. But I can say that the entire performance was an incredible Rollercoaster. With two sets of drums and a wicked guitarist, the 30 minute set never stopped. You could see the sweat dripping from the guiarist's finger tips. I wish I had picked up their album, but perhaps sometime when I get to Japan I will find them and purchase it then.
