Ladyhawke?
The other thing I tried to do last night was go with my boy to see Ladyhawk at Cake Shop. I know nothing about this band except that they are Canadain, and their name reminds me of the gay movie.
But I'm not really always open to checking out new stuff, so I decided to try. A precursory walk-by showed them playing 4th out of 4 bands, with the show starting at 8pm.
Ok, fine. Thanks, Cake Shop, for putting a sign in the window. Everyone knows this means they should be playing by about 11pm (this is, of course figuring in the Rule-of-Slack that most bands operate by.
We rolled in at 11pm, and of course they weren't playing. In fact, the second band hadn't even gone on. Plus, the Cake Shop rivals Judson Memorial Church during an Arcade Fire show as The Most Pretentious Indie Rocker Spot Ever.
I hate when shit is late. Especially with shows. Be fucking professional. Set up quickly. Break down quickly. Play your little song, then play next one, etc... So who knows, maybe Ladyhawk is the best band ever. There's one song on their website, and their Obligatory Myspace Page is taking 100,000,000,000 years to load audio, so...
Note to Cake Show: Hire someone capable to run the door and handle money, or at least someone that can do more than one thing at once. And isn't a cunt.
