Last week was kind of a blur of awesome for me. I went up to LA and met up with some other Maniacs to hear the new single “Sleeping With A Friend” from Neon Trees courtesy of Tyler Glen himself. There was some stickering, postering, signing, chatting, and hugging. It was pretty awesome. Another awesome thing was getting out to Soda Bar and watching Strange Vine and Brothers Weiss play while enjoying the company of friends.
Speaking of company of friends, I fully expect to see the usual suspects this Sunday for the first night of The Silent Comedy’s two night stint at the Casbah. There’s some other great shows this week such as Janelle Monae at the House of Blues, The Lonely Wild with Low Volts and The Palace Ballroom at Soda Bar, and a whole mess of fun on Thursday night with Vonda Shepard and more. It’s a good week for shows.
