NEOOOON

So last night I went down to TSI to see Neon Indian! The band before them, Awesome New Republic(from Miami), was pretty good too. Their songs had lots of vocal harmonies and synth arpeggiations. Very pleasing to the ear.

Neon Indian's music was delightfully lo-fi and spacey. Due to this i'd say, the crowd was really moving and at one point Alan Palomo(frontman for Neon Indian) said "you guys are crazy" after watching some of the people dancing/waving around like seaweed in a rip current. Neon Indian's set was pretty short, but I guess it would be since they don't have that much material yet.

I Spotted Reggie Youngblood (front man for the band Black Kids) in a green hoodie with his asian? gf, while a remix of a black kids song was playing. Oh the irony. Also the music they were playing in between the two bands was the Twelves 90 minute mixtape they just released about two weeks ago. Good choice there.

Summary:

Even though I felt like Antoine Doinel walking the empty streets down to the river walk while I was waiting for TSI to open, i'm really glad I went. I met some very interesting people there. Stupid flu is still killing my activeness, i've been coughing all over the place.its gotten so much better though. I really should have brought my camera to creep on people so I could have pictures to go along with my stories. Anyways, i'm a huge fan of Neon Indian now(secretly more so than VEGA just cause of their lo-fi, warped tape sounding goodness)

P.S. that song playing is a Neon Indian track (Deadbeat Summer)

P.P.S. I swear I never bring my camera when I need it. Lesson learned. My camera will be permanently attached to my body from now on.
