The Minks blew the doors off the Great American Music Hall last night. OK, maybe not the doors, they’re pretty good doors. Strong doors, with bouncers. But the windows were definitely rattling. The Minks are rock stars, that’s for sure. At a benefit for music in schools, called Silicon Valley Rocks, the Minks thrilled the geeky Wednesday night crowd.
Thankfully, the Minks only make a nod to the original look of the Kinks by wearing 1960s mod outfits- which renders them much more pleasing on the eye than the Kinks ever were. The Minks look like they stepped right off the set of the latest Austin Powers flick. I was left wondering why all bands can’t be hot chicks in short skirts and go-go boots.
it was real fun watching you guys yesterday, it was a fun night. we should set something up in san francisco, we would really like to make a road trip out there and tear up the place
I am going to tell you a story. It was written by Cervantes, our spanish famous writer, author of "The Quixote". It's a poem which tells about a girl, always under her mother's eye, guarded by her mother's fears. This girl claims that she must be her own guard, no matter the guards she has around. I composed a song based on this poem and included in the song are some "fragments" of spanish popular music. My intention is to evoke the image of the girl looking through the window with sorrow and listening to the street musiciens walking along. The title of the song is "COPLAS DE MARIALONSO" and it is displayed on my page. I invite you to have a listening...Amparo García-Otero. Singer and songwriter. Spain.
A know a man, he's a powerful man, got the people in his power in the palm of his hand. I think his name is Santa, could be totally wrong! Happy Christmas Minks!
