Sons and Daughters @ the Middle East
April 14th, 2008 - by Eddie
First off, I suck at posting. I went to this show like a week ago and am only getting to it now. My excuse? I’m a lazy bastard who let’s his day job cut into more important things like this blog and time with the Nintendo Wii (I’m hooked on Call of Duty 3 and if i don’t play it soon, the Germans will take over the world).
I walked in late and caught half of the opening band, a group called Bodies of Water. For some of their set, they sounded like a wayward country band, content with re-hashing the bonanza theme beat for a bunch of hipsters. However, one song stuck out, which is here. Oh and the girl on the keyboards was indie chic hot. You know exactly what I’m talking about.
I did like their song “Doves Circle the Sky”
Sons and Daughters was a different story. They came out and the crowd went nuts. Then lead singer Adele Bethel told the 50 that were there to come closer to the stage because “everyone will have more fun that way.” It’s a Monday night, that’s why.
Thanks to Bethel’s suggestion, everyone got a good look at her legs, since she opted for a super short, glittery disco dress that would have showed off “her business” had she not been wearing boxer shorts underneath (she jumped around a lot and revealed them. I’m not a sicko…at least not like that).
Here they are doing “Gilt Complex” for the crowd off their new album “This Gift
To be honest, I didn’t have much hope for this band. But I’ve been listening to “Gift” a lot lately and it’s growing on me. That, and it’s pretty impossible for me to shy away from a Scottish girl.
It’s a shame this show had to go down on a Monday night though. I can only imagine the kind of drunken depravity that would have taken place had it been a Friday or Saturday night. Because in a world where there are indie bands galore content with singing songs about heartache and pain, sometimes it’s nice to see a cute girl jumping up and down on stage singing songs about sex.
