Review: American Sinner 3/22/2006

Verbal

American Sinner
Faces on Film

DC Nine

So, dW's birthday and no Verbal due to illness. We did hit DC Nine for Magic Hat #9 and chatted with the other 2/3 of Verbal for a while.

American Sinner are locals - sort of a Camper van Beethoven/They Might Be Giants/Weird Al Yankovic (only because of the accordion) kinda vibe. How many bands can play a NIN cover with an accordion and electric violin? That's what I thought... Most of their songs were gospel meets new-wave. I would check them out again.

Faces on Film was doing some kind of out-of-tune guitar duel and then also putting us to sleep so we left.

And of course, I always love being accused of being racist because I'm hurrying to my car because I'm tired and have to pee and I'm too fat to button my coat so I'm starting to get cold. Yeah.
