HORSE the band
The Fall of Troy
Poison the Well
Ottobar

Yay HORSE! They were very late and only got to play three songs (Birdo, Million Exploding Suns, and Cutsman) at the very end of the afternoon (this show started at 4pm because Wolf Parade was the late show). It was fucking amazing, I have to say. Nathan said he felt like he 'ruptured something in his brain.' DMR and Mr. S said that HORSE's three songs were more energetic and exciting than the preceeding show.

We had suffered through the heat inside the club and Poison the Well before going out to the alley for relief. With apologies (cuz they're nice guys), PtW is boring. DMR said it was amazing they could do so much with three notes. I'm amazed they're as popular as they are (this show was sold out too).

We listened to an abbreviated set by The Fall of Troy from the alley where it was breezy and pleasant. It sounded pretty good from the alley. I don't know if I could listen to tFoT more, but I do enjoy them live. They're so young, it will be interesting to see where they go.

In celebrity news, we saw the singer from The Dillinger Escape Plan at the show.

In other celebrity news, miniHooper luvs bunnies and does not want to smash or squish them:
