Battles show... (hands extended, palms facing upward and outward, shrugs shoulders cocking head to one side, says; "meh"...)
I had heard that Battles was killing it at Pitchfork, so I figured I'd see for myself. They played last weekend at Studio B, a newish, hippish venue hidden somewhere in Williamsburg. Also, my man wanted to go, so I took him for his belated birthday.
Unfortunately my man spontaneously combusted from having such a rip roaring time at the show. I managed to capture this tragedy through the wonders of Super High Resolution Digital Photography. Appearently he wasn't alone, as the bulging, near capacity venue suggested. Kids were loving it.
Me? I was considerably schwizzeled, and kept thinking that they sounded like pre-vocal Trans Am. Somewhat to their credit, however, I also kept saying how good everything sounded and how The Polish are really good construction workers and how the clubs they build are totally awesome [hic], and, in fact, that my parents have been warned that the Polish Mafia are at large in their neighborhood, and how when I [hic] was [hic] in a band we could have played here cause we did shit like this, and blah blah blah...

I saw them in Hamburg last year. Interesting, but it's been done.

yes "I I I" should stop writing reasonably incoherent comments and start writing about his snake attacks then sending to me for the guestblogging, but...
