Mmmn punk.
I could stand to get paid for stuff like that more often. Definitely. (More in the morning, bedtime now.)

tummy and shoulder ache, but otherwise good!
Alrighty. About the show last night. Punk show, so that was cool. There were 3 bands playing: Belvedere, Chixdiggit, and SNFU.
Of the three, I enjoyed Chixdiggit the most. They had a really great stage presence and their sound was the most unique. I'm sorry, but you know it's so easy to sound canned for punk bands and Belvedere really felt too copy and paste to me. SNFU was really good, really hardcore punk... I enjoyed them a lot as well. But their singer was just... well, nuts. And he so had the "prairie accent". I can't describe it, but anyone who's ever lived in western canada can probably recognize it. You know, that accent that many of the farmers and small-town folks have out there? Yeah. He also wore a fur hat and was like right in with the audience while he sang. Oh, and he nearly killed his bassist with the way he was swinging the mic around. o.o;;
Over all, the show was pretty cool. We only sold a dozen or so CDs, but I didn't really expect more than that for a punk show.
Oh, and Kia'd be proud of me. I totally picked out an asian hottie in the crowd. Except... I think he was gay. >.> He did talk to me about possibly buying a CD... but then he spent his money an alcohol instead. *shakes head*
Tonight, I'm working at the show of an eclectic rocker. (ie someone who dabbles in everything.) Naturally I'm going to love it. I mean, hello? I love eclectic artists.

gods, I miss the prairies
Tonight's artist impressed me so much that I actually bought a CD. (Though he played mostly songs that were newer than any of his CDs, but it's ok.) He signed it for me: "We're useless without you! Thanks. Love Kris D" (It's a play on one of their songs' lyrics 'you're useless without me')
Yeah. Plus I got to leave while it was still today. Rock on.
Umn, I'd say the style of the band was like... Bonnie Pink's talent for melodies plus OLIVIA's quirky lyrics plus Bare Naked Ladies' humour and Canadian content.
The song I loved best was one about a recent court case in Saskatchewan (the province I was born in) called One Shoe. It spoke about this police scadal in Saskatchewan where the police used to take drunks to the edge of town and make them walk back into town to sobre them up. Go here if you want to read a little more about it.
>.> He's gonna be my artist of the week for next week.
