hey! if y'all play portland in late august i'll do you a big favor and bring all of your releases to the show and ask you to sign them. that's more for me, but hey- ego boosts for writing your names all sloppy?! and for free?!
seriously, i would dork out like that, ahem- will dork out like that.
Oh! I lied below when I said I couldnt make the 19th. I made it! And my jaw was on the floor for a good half hour. Holy shit. You guys tore it up. The whole night was just awesome. -Heather
Re: the B-52s "sounds-like" comparisons...so tenuous that it's not even worth mentioning. Such comparisons are for lazy, timid minds. A whole dumptruck-load of influences are hinted at in your overall sound, the combination thereof making Thee Oh Sees pretty fucking unique. Spirits or essences of the Airplane...Poppy Family...Suicide...Mockingbirds...Velvets...Who...Cramps...Link Wray...Flat Duo Jets...Howlin' Wolf...Moby Grape...Low...Stooges...Gene Vincent...Gypsy Trips...Small Faces...Billy Childish et al...the Dead...Bauhaus...Ventures...so many strands coming together and expertly weaved into a one-or-a-kind sonic signature. I'm in awe...
Graveyard Drug Party ROCKS! Love all of them, actually. Looking forward to your July 25 Du Nord show, as I can't make the 19th. Yay for you guys!!! xo Heather
