So due to some last minute changes at work, its off on a business trip over the weekend for me! Poppycock!
Anyway.....
I had a good night out with Kate tonight. We went to the City Hall Plaza in Boston and caught the Yeah Yeah Yeah's. Opening for them was a band called "TV on The Radio" which had an interesting sound, although there was one song that sort of reminded me a bit of Parliament.
Here is a music video by them which has this odd little werewolf bit in it, which is sort of entertaining. You don't really get an appreciation for the band in this. They had an excellent drummer. The lead guitarist had windchimes attached to the head of his guitar. And at one point they broke out an accordion on a few songs. On song even had the lead doing a whole beat box thing, while someone jammed on the accordion. I think most of the crowd, save a few, were in the dark on this band, but they were fully capable of getting people to jive around or clap in unison. I imagine it will be an interesting group to keep an eye on.
The Yeah Yeah Yeah's were great, and the lead gallivanted, swooned, convulsed, snaked, on the stage, all the while throatilly belting out vocals that were like Joan Jet on acid. I definitely dug it.
After the show we strolled across what is now the embryonic stages of the "Rose Kennedy Greenway" into the North End to Ernesto's for some pizza slices. Ernesto's, hands down has the best pizza I've had in Massachusetts. After we had some gellato and walked around until we decided we were out past our bed times.
Well... I won't be back till Sunday night soooo.... Till then,
