Paradise is Found In Our Beating Hearts...
May was a busy month.
Aced all of my finals. Finished the semester with 7 As. College is easy.
May 1st - Savant, Snake Shark and the Broken Heart, and The Sounds That Machines Make @ Eyedrum. Fun show. It was supposed to be $10, but I got in for free. SS&B ruled.
May 2nd - Savant, Kadets, Archaeology, and Ridiculous Jacket @ WonderRoot. Weird show. Some really bad remarks were made and stuff turned ugly.
May 3rd - Witches, Dead Dog, and Josh Loner @ The Cat Cave. Awesome show, bad turnout.
May 5th - Jerry Fels, Sister Kisser, Southside Stranglers, Ralph, and Flex Your Head @ The Cat Cave. Crazy show. Andy Dick showed up. Seriously. The Sister Kisser guys were way sweet.
May 8th - The Wild, Small Talk, Giant Lion, and The Back Pockets @ WonderRoot. Dual CD release show for TBP and The Wild. Everyone did awesome. The perfect way to kick off summer.
May 9th - Some Mistakes, Paper Champion, Royalist, and others @ WonderRoot. Some Mistakes blew me away and Paper Champion were a lot of fun.
May 16th - Annabel, Very Magic, HisDayWillCome, Teenage Illiterates, Jerry Fels, Pat Jordace, and Josh Loner @ WonderRoot. Again, awesome show, but few people. Very Magic were insanely good.
May 17th - Stoked: The Band, Very Magic, Andy the Doorbum, The Hectagons, and The Emotron @ The Cat Cave. This show was a lot of fun. Every band sounded different, which is cool. Very Magic killed it again, and I might be asking them if they would let me put out a 7" or CD by them.
May 18th - Winston Troy, The Anchor, Shook Foil, Savanna Cameron, and Josh Rank @ WonderRoot. This was a good show. Shook Foil was fun and dance-y, Winston Troy was a total sweetheart, and The Anchor were cool dudes.
May 21st - Lemuria, Zlam Dunk, Bad Mammals, Savant, The Sunglasses, and Cover Your Head @ The Cat Cave. Way too many dumb people at this show. Bad Mammals reminded me a ton of one of my favorite bands, The Wunder Years. Might asked them to do a 7" or something.
May 26th - Snake Shark and the Broken Heart, Toby Foster, Eric Ayotte, and The Wild @ WonderRoot. Perfect show. FNB got moved to WonderRoot and everyone played awesomely. Eric's new CD is perfect. This show was the beginning of a wonderful 5 days.
May 27th - Mitch The Champion, Max Weiss, Madeline Ava, and Doctor Dinosaur @ The Birdhouse (in Knoxville, TN). It was great seeing old friends and making new ones. Mitch and Dr. D are awesome!
May 28th - 30th - Crucial Fun Fest 5 in Lexington, KY. The best weekend of my entire life. Tons of great bands, but more importantly, I got to see a ton of people that I love from all around the country. I wound up getting to play a short set too! Here's a list of bands I saw (that I can remember): Delay, The Sidekicks, Dead Dog, Timeshares, Sundials, Sean Bonette (of AJJ), Pedals On Our Pirate Ships, Pink Houses, Imperial Can, Doctor Dinosaur, Laura Stevenson and the Cans, The Pheramones, Madeline Ava, Toby Foster, Hop Along Queen Ansleis, Sister Kisser, Candy Hearts, Joe Mangum, Slugging Percentage, The Max Levine Ensemble, The Wild, Mischief Brew, Two Hand Fools, Vacation, Kepi Ghoulie, New Creases, Spraynard, Rudy Harts Mathilda, XERXES, You'll Get Yours, Chicken Little, Betty Crocker and the Rabid Youth, Plum Paws, Andy Gardner, Maryn Jones, Fry Hugs, Tristan Jemsek, American War, Max Weiss, Dylan Sizemore, and Ryan Starinsky.
May 31st - The Wild, Laura Stevenson and the Cans, and I Need Sleep @ The Poison Lawn (in Knoxville, TN). The Wild and Laura Stevenson did awesome, but I Need Sleep was super hip and super drunk. Kinda lame. Really sad to leave the next day.
Let's hope June can be just as awesome as May was!
