last night me, GT, ML, and MBP drove to noho to see the paperrad homecoming show, at the terminus of their month-long tour. extreme animals, and dr doo, plus the GWM’s new bar band the steamrollers, and a mother-daughter band that was sweet if a little awkward (i kept picturing a thought bubble above the 12 year old daughter’s head: “here’s another song about dad…”). steamrollers were in perfect townie character (1: “hey, thanks to the other bands, they were really different” 2: “yeah, that’s why i wore black- to be different too”) so much so that GT wasn’t sure if it was a joke. my explanation is that it was more like an alternate universe band than a joke- band members seemed to be drawing from people they grew up with, and ways they could’ve gone. anyway it was really perfect and totally great. and for what it’s worth we have their cd at the store. new paperrad movies were pretty good, executing the style you know. oh, gotta go- it’s raining out, i got shit to do.
