I fell in love with the Mates of State last night. I don't listen to their albums but damn! They were so fuckin' good live. Next to MUM. they've got to be the cutest band I've ever seen, but where MUM are so adorably childlike that you want to hug them, Mates of State are just cool as fuck. A real married couple, working out ongoing quarls, on stage, in song. Each on opposite sides of the stage, facing eachother, sort of call and response. the energy between these two is fucking mezmorizing, all static and glue, sticky electricity, with more noise than a lot of four piece bands, and soooo GOOD it was!
Opening act consisted of another couple, dressed in spedo type thingies, all pink and blue with pigtails. They looked like high energy bubblegum dancing around, screeming at electronic clatter, and doing a good job of enlivening the place. Lots of lalfs, basicaly lo-fi Har Mar Superstar sounding like Cibo Matto.
some blood with my roses.
It drives me crazy to see urban areas with lobrow street energy and life get turned into fucked up artificial, sterilized hipp, packaged in $500,000 condominiums, shity overpriced art galleries and Starbucks on every corner. Basically, Timmy and Tiffany fall in love with little pockets of artistic ghetos while driving in every week to buy more junk, and befor long the whole place strinks of gentrifyed ass with any trace of what made the place interesting in the first place ALL GONE!!!
I wish I believed in Heaven cause then I'd know there was a HELL for little Timmy.
Chears to JAZMIN...cool as Mates Of State!

I was born in Oceanside. I don't have much memory of SD, back then. I remember going back a full 8 years later. So are you saying the ole "Threes company" days are over?
