ima ima ima ima lesbian savant!

after seven bells, we headed to brooklyn to see snakes say hisss! i hadn't seen them since december, so let's just say i was a little bit baffled to find out that they're more than just two dudes and an ipod now. yeah, they have an actual band, so when they were setting up, i thought to myself "this can't be them" ... then of course, they hooked up the mic and said "hi, we're snakes say hisss!" ... i was confused to say the least, but it was indeed them.



i really forgot how much i love them. they're just so much fun, but i sorta miss it being just the two of them. whatevz, they aren't any less fun. i was totally drenched in other peoples' sweat like two songs through, but that's what i love about diy shows and poor ventilation, it just shows how much fun you're having. we left satisfied and disgusting and smelling like beer and smoke.
but there's something about that nasty feeling and smell that's comforting, which is strange, i know.

any band that...

makes jumping under a sheet seem like the most fun thing ever is fucking brilliant.
this is why i love the mae shi.
they know all the secrets to making people happy.
giving us a rainbow parachute to dance under is one of those secrets.

they played at silent barn last night ... there were maybe 50 people there at most.

their set was epic as usual.
nothing ever beats the amazingness of "i get almost everything" and group hugs and dancing til your stomach hurts.
ugh, i wish i was seeing them tonight with anamanaguchi at dba.



oh, and snakes say hisss! were so good. how have i never heard of them before??
no really, like....i can't stop listening to them right now.
it's like if best fwends, the mae shi and starfucker had some love babies and the kids were babysat by thedeathset.

"i like stars and i like unicorns, i like things that make me feel free"
seriously?? any band that sings about unicorns is good in my book.

GO CHECK THEM OUT RIGHT NOW!



and to the mae shi ... i'm glad you're alive.


btw, before last night, it had been almost a month since i had been to a show.
i think that was the longest gap between shows i had all year.
well, whatevz...i survived right?
of montreal on tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
