I need to update more / WOODSIST+CAPTURED TRACKS FEST
Damn. Three weeks since my last update. Almost like a musiconfessional (haw haw. See what I did there?).
Great past weekend though, Woodsist/Captured Tracks weekend was as great as expected. Some great bands, some okay ones, but nothing TOO terrible. Plus, the weather was perfect (for once), so staying outside all day was wonderful.
The highlight for me was definitely Dum Dum Girls. I liked them a lot before I saw them live, but goddamn, for a first show...:
Yeah. Pretty great. One hell of a DIY-star studded line up also. Mike Sniper (Blank Dogs) on bass, Frankie Rose (Crystal Stilts) on drums, and dude from Crocodiles (sry dude, dunno your name :() on guitar. Dum Dum Girls also sings way better live than on record. Or at least, I find her voice live to be more interesting. The reverb covers up your voice! Love reverb, but it might not suit yours as much as say, Cassie from Viv Girls.
Besides them, Real Estate played a fucking great show also. Some blog coined them as "Shorecore" and I'z down with that term. Really technically competent, and so fucking tight. Feel the only reason they're not more popular is that they haven't released an album yet, so most people haven't really checked 'em out (Similar to Dinowalrus). Check them out (and Dinowalrus too).
Other highlights: Gary War, Mayfair Set (<3 u Dee Dee), Kevin Failure rapping (actually good. f'realz), Thee Oh Sees, Thee Oh Sees mosh, Thee Oh Sees mosh fight, Fresh & Onlys at the afterparty, fireworks going off behind show.
Now for pic highlights:
DAY ONE
Chinese take-out place across from MH apparently really loves Michael Jackson.
Supercrush on Gary War's keyboardist. Would make her breakfast. (msg me)
Hole in Market Hotel stage. Psych Horseshit almost broke a leg through it :(
Kevin Failure
Kevin Failure WERKIN IT.
DAY TWO
Whilst editing pics, my mom passed by and goes "Oh, the bands look good also". Real Estate. MOTHER APPROVED.
<3 u Dee Dee (u 2, Mikey)
Just really liked this shot.
Babies. Babbys.

Screaming Females - What if Someone is Watching Their T.V.?
Ah, rough week.
It's good to have some fucking awesome NJ punk to listen to then.
Screaming Females - What if Someone is Watching Their T.V.?
Saw them play with Double Dagger, So So Glos, and Air Waves (missed Videohippos) last Saturday at Market Hotel, and they were amazing live. It's always great to see a band you've never listened to completely blow you away when you see them live. I was very ready to join the moshing.
Double Dagger kicked ass as well of course. Still haven't gotten around to listen to their albums (sorry webb!) but they throw a great show. Propz to the tiny girl moshing in front of me. You got balls.
Actually missed out on the first half of the So So Glos set after recovering from the Double Dagger set downstairs, but it was still pretty fun. What else can I say about a band I've seen before? Consistently fun to watch and listen to, even if they don't really push any boundaries.
Rest of the pics are Here.

[Screaming Females] One of my favorite 'new' 'discoveries' in a whiiiile. Like damn. This shit's intense. She rocks that guitar. <3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMJHibEbQtvbg9Q2WtXS3VTSHjejm8hAEBnynPSYJMowCC0LNO3ShDSgUdTxAxDLqXF1e7h4qRcU1rUDl3GfXqyBPK1Z8tHprelI2XQQSvM2_vpYuoky1JsKbY0BtBA0-HgMcFdUM1mSXi/s1600-h/5-23-09-double+dagger-3.jpg">
