I have to say that Boise is definitely lacking in quite a few areas. It really makes me yearn for FL sometimes. Anyhow, tonight was great!
We saw Grouplove at the Knitting Factory. Not my favorite venue but unfortunately there are only about four so… Pretty much no one in line around us even knew what band they were seeing. Amazing. Wish I had that much expendable income. It was all ages. I hate all ages shows but I will say that this was actually one of the better crowds I have been in while living in Boise. Sean, the bassist walked out before doors opened and I talked to him for a minute. Like I said, NO ONE even knew who they were seeing tonight.
After watching the opening band I am quite confident that I should purchase the bass I have been wanting for a million years and start a band. I also foresee that I will tour nationally and open for awesome bands.
Grouplove were amazing! I really can’t say enough about it but if they come to your area, do yourself a favor and go see them!

Colours
I prefer this song in French. So, so good. That is all.
On another note, I am so sad that The Drums cancelled at The Reef tonight. :[ I have been looking forward to seeing them AND Craft Spells. Because they are both bad ass, of course. So my little heart was sad.
This isn’t my video. It is from the show I went to for my last birthday. He just so happened to play two of my favorite songs during the show, this being one of them.
This is a really important piece of archival 90s footage.
Reality Bites (1994)
So excited for the release of this album (“Neck of the Woods”) on May 8!
There is so much good music being released this year!
I do not want the same things in life that everyone else does. The things that you hold in high regards, I do not. And somehow, in spite of everything, I still feel very young. Sometimes, I have no idea where my life has gone. It. Just. Disappears.
If you have ears and love good music you can dance to, buy “Idle Labor” by Craft Spells! Record Exchange in downtown Boise was able to get a hold of it for me. I was afraid it is OOP but lucky, lucky me that it isn’t!
I can’t wait to see these guys live. They’re going to be opening for The Drums! Woo!
“The Same Deep Water As You”
I am pretty excited! I picked up The Cure “Early BBC Sessions 1979-1985” a few days ago. Not that I have had any time to listen to it. Boo!
I am so excited for life. I will be moving in less than two months. Not that I enjoy moving. I actually hate it. A lot. Do I know where to? I don’t! But we’ll find a place! I HATE our current apartment complex. Oh my word. Record Store Day V is next month! And then The Drums in May. WOO!
Okay. I think this cover is GREAT! Go Teenage Fanclub!
Most of the time
I feel like I have no life. Because I have no time. Between work and school, there isn’t much left over.
My wonderful husband took me to see one of my favorite musicians of all time for my birthday. On February 24, we got to see David Gray LIVE! Best birthday ever. We took a quick trip to Vegas for the show. We drove. A total of about 26 hours. The drive was beautiful. My favorite part was through the canyons and mountains of Arizona.
I hate going to shows with bad crowds though. I do not understand ANYONE that pays that much for tickets to stay seated the whole time. I guess I don’t have as much expendable income as most other people but I want to dance! And everyone only knew like two songs. The man played for two and a half hours. And then did a three (technically four) song encore in which he played one of my favorite songs “Late Night Radio.”
So, I am pretty sure there was a professional taping the footage of the whole show so hopefully this mess will be released on dvd!
Yuna opened for him. And she is wonderful. If you want to hear a lady with a wonderful voice, check her out!
Love this. So awesome. High five to whoever made it!
