Jesse Carsten and I are currently planning on moving to portland Or. This show/potluck was a sort of going away party for us. However, the day we were supposed to leave some asshole in a mini-van drove his car into our beautiful volvo(which we had registered the day before), and we are here until further notice. Either way, this night was suuuuppper emotional for me. And I must admit this post is really just for my freinds. why? because on many of the songs you can hear me singing along rather drunkenly and it is embarrassing but I am sharing nonetheless. It was a magical night, thanks to all who played!
This show was held at the Olive Garden in Bronx NY. A new DIY space run by the same cool cats who ran Paul Shaffer's House in the Bronx, and was shut down a few months ago. Lets hope all their musical adventures go well, because we desperately need places like this for our souls to not die. I am NOT exaggerating.
After much hanging and debauchery, the night started with a really wonderful set by Old Table

we are all very loud on this one. hurray. Everyone loves this song, this song about how sex is hard and being expected to conform to a gender is even harder. Unfortunately however, my motherfucking camera freaked out and stopped recording right before the best part. the J-E-S-S-I-I-I AM NOT A MAN! part. to see a video of the song in full click here but you won't get the magic of 20 people screaming along. damn camera)
Aaron Maine of Porches
Guitar, Vocals
Apologies! My camera ran out of disk space and then died during this set! and I was just too damn drunk to deal with it okay!?
Cover of Old Table's . Like some weird baptist revival meeting.
