Seabear

We finally got to see Seabear last night. I've been waiting a few years for them to tour the US. It was their first time playing here, with their new album "We Built a Fire" released earlier this month. It was pretty much a spectacular experience. One of my friends had to cancel at the last minute (and by that I mean 15 minutes before their scheduled stage time), but it all worked out in the end. We didn't know the show was sold out and there were a few people waiting for non-profit scalpers.

What we did not enjoy was the drunk girl singing behind us. She was yapping away and yelling out the violin solo, which received some glaring ovation. Her boyfriend cheered her on and danced with her. And then she spilt beer on Rae. Not cool. She eventually left, probably to throw up in the bathroom.

It reminded me of the couple grinding and dancing wildly at an Iron&Wine concert some while back. But I'll save that story for next time.

What was great about last night was that every time someone yelled out a request, Sindri will just reply it with "We don't know that one."

"Um. Well, we're suppose to walk off the stage and you clap for encore. Should we leave and come back, or just play?" They ended with "Seashell" with a choir of audience.

Looking forward to Dark Dark Dark and Micachu next week. Happy Friday =)
