This week is Noisepop! We kicked it off Tuesday night at the Noisepop Opening Night, a free show (and we were even VIP, aww yaa) at Mezzanine with Extra Action Marching Band, Har Mar Superstar & Tapes & Tapes!
Opening night consisted of: Free photobooth photos, free tshirts, free drinks, free posters, free ice cream and David Cross! suuweeeet! Those are all the makings of a great party!
The best part, as per usual, is running into so many people I know. Friends, fellow music fans, musicians, writers & editors, photographers, etc. So fun.

Last night the fun continued, for night two of Noisepop, where we hit the Sebadoh show at GAMH. Honestly I didn't listen to Sebadoh "way back when", but my friend had a ticket, and knowing how many close friends of mine are into them, I thought I'd check em out. They were good, but I gotta say, the opener The Bent Moustache was actually really good! They were sorta like Rage Against the Machine meets Art Brut. Which is the oddest of mashups, but I'm stoked to check them out some more.
The night ended at the good ol Edinburg Castle, playing darts. (I'm sorta getting good at them now!) And I'm looking forward to a full weekend of more shows! Autolux/Snowden on Friday, The Ponys on Saturday & Midlake on Sunday! The crazy thing is that when Noisepop ends on Sunday, I ship out to Austin for SXSW just 5 days later! *sigh* My life is so awesome.
