etiquette lessons

ok, so the lucksmiths show...

we get to DC9 around 9:30 or so and we walk in and the first band is on the stage...the stage is about 12x12 i think...maybe. and it's in the corner and i see (and i'm not exagerating) 12 people
and on those 12 people, amongst them i see one yachting cap. one guy dressed as a dock worker. one harmonium. four people holding brass instruments and one douchebag bandana.
actually, now that i think about it, it may have been 13 people because there was obviously someone playing drums but i couldn't see them.
ok, so 13 people and dumb hats and douchebag bandanas ahoy. and then they announce that they haven't even started yet even 'tho now it's about 9:40 because one member of their group is late because he couldn't rent a car from new york so he just got in. just. and they were supposed to go on at 9.
what does he play? you ask? oh, funny. he doesn't. he's a fucking *dancer*
ok, so 12x12 stage and now the count is 14 people? and the dancer (white boy with 'fro) is bouncing up and down like a kid hopped up on skittles and god help me, i wanted to hate hate hate this band.
but i didn't. they were really great.
they were kind of a mess. maybe a little talking heads mixed with english beat. maybe a little ska-tinged decemberists.
they were pretty great.

but they desperately need to lose the asshole dancey latepants kid.
ladybug transistor were...fine....we were able to grab a tall table and sit and i think i fell asleep a little bit which let me recharge a touch for the luckies who were so great and adorable and made the freakscene that happened infront of us forgetable...although still kinda gross. i think perhaps it was a first rock show for some people.
at least i hope so. or they need a boot upside the head for some etiquette lessons.

but then again, i pretty much hate people.

in a great personal triumph today, i made people laugh!
