britt, will you marry me?
Britt Daniel is the lead singer of Spoon, and lastnight we watched him play a solo performance at the Hotel Utah.He is touring solo right now because apparently for the last year or so he's been in Austin writing new songs and he just wanted to get out and start playing some of them. I also heard he likes smaller venues (understandable!), so that's why we were crammed in the Hotel Utah, and there was even an 11pm show too! AND he's playing at Du Nord this week. He said he's really enjoying playing solo... and thank goodness, because just like when we saw him in Austin - he was fantastic.
His new songs are great, and yes more new ones would have been welcome, but hearing him play the Spoon material we all know & love is great, too. And it's of course different with just him, his (beautiful) voice, and his guitar/amp. (oh and the boombox :) He was just awesome. It was really intimate, and his voice is so dreamy - and I want to marry him!!! :)
Oh, and Rogue Wave's cutie Gram got up on stage for the first encore song - and surprised us all with a duet!! He's *such* a cutie!! (hech hemm, ladies I think he's single - I'll introduce yoU!) :) I loved watching him up there! :) GO GRAM! I wish I would have thought to take a pic, I was just so entranced. But I think Jake got one.
I got a few photos & I'll post them when I have time - but right now I'm off for a date with my boy & some friends - and then Kill Bill Vol. 2! wooohoo!!
