Mais pourquoi?

Fuck. I’m truly torn. Stuck in a rut.

So the Pinkertones are playing this Saturday. Which very much so inconvienently interferes with my Cinco de MiMo plans. So whats a girl to do?  Meh. I guess we’ll see.

So check it. The Pinkertones are these 2 blokes from Barcelona. They are dope as funk. They put on wicked shows. No matter the size of the venue they rock the shit outta it with their crafty lights, sounds, and matching white sunglasses. Their playing this Sat as part of The Rhythm Foundations’s Heineken Transatlantic Festival shindigs -which brought us Bonde Do Role last week- . Miami’s own ArtOfficial is also on the list. And their dope as well.  Go check em out. For sures.

The Pinkertones

 May 3  (Doors open at 7)

@ North Beach Bandshell  7275 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach)

20$ http://www.rhythmfoundation.com/, Books & Books (Coral Gables), Sweat Records, Via Brazil, BASE

Weather Prediction: Off the hook.

MiMo yourMo.

Theres something about shuttle buses that makes an activity even more fun. (Except when riding the FIU bus from UPC to BBC, in which case i want to slice my veins out.)

Anywayyyyy…This is MiMo’s 1st year “Cinco de Mimo.”… which conveniently ends May cuatro (go figure!). So what fun activities does the MBA have planned for us? Well……:

• Walking tours
• Frida Kahlo look-a-like contest (wazzzupppp)
• piñata cracking (I freaking love piñatas!)
• movie screening
• live musica. arriba!

If you don’t know what MiMo stands for, its MiamiModern.

 And if you don’t know where its located then read the flyer! -Its right under our Upper East Side. Yes yes, we have an Upper East Side. And even though its not schnazzy like NYC’s, it has a Starbucks which means its not cracktown.

Pizza and M&Ms

Looks like lil Schwartzman and band are coming.

Partty Pix Please

So the day after the Spoon show…

 I say to my friend “Dude I saw you at the Spoon show but I didn’t say hi coz i got there late and was in the balcony”

She says: “Dude you should have been there earlier they took us and dressed us up and took pictures. It was mad fun.”

And I say “Hhmmm. Cool”

So now I say “Ooohh. Sweet”

Turns out it was the Polite in Public crew.  They take you. They dress you. And they take pictures of you. Its like those little cabins at the county fair that dress you in a really smelly Western costume where they take pics of you and your family to treasure until the next year’s fair. Cept this one is the fun and corndog-smell-free rock star version. 

Here’s the pics for the Spoon show. Wazzuppppp.

Corrections

LadyTron/Datarock show date changed.

Used to be Thurs June 12 now its Weds June 11. (Its already been changed in prev post, jic). If you already have tickets for the old date, no worries, they will honor them. Anddddddd if you can’t make the new date then A] yikes. and sucks. and B] they are giving refunds (and by “they” i mean the ticket company that you purchased them from).

Ontooooooo other stuff:

Tonight Bonde Do Role @ Studio A 18+.  Just read the flyer:

Check em out:

Revenge.Wants.She.

So the first time I heard them I thought they were Interpol. And the second time I heard them I thought they were Interpol. But now their just She Wants Revenge. For a band whose name sounds rather emo (Don’t you think?) they nail the sex-with-your-heels-on sound. Ch-ch-check it out.

 Weather Prediction: NY cool.  I’m hoping that the shows indoors. SWR is more of a smoky-dark venue type of band. For what it’s worth the show is part of NYLON (my mostest favoritest magazine evah) Summer Music Tour. The Virgins, Be Your Own Pet, and Switches are also on the bill. I’m hoping that theres free stuff. =]

Not the Viper. Not not the viper

Weather Prediction: sunny. Its a friday night. Its 12$. No matter how far you are from the stage you can still see them (unless your outside ofcourse. buhduh). Tis good music. I think we’re good.

Fa fa fa fafafafafa

There’s just something about Norwegian dudes with matching track suits and intimidating sunglasses that just does it for a girl. Oh no wait. Actually, its their music.

Datarock w/ Ladytron

Weather prediction: sticky hot. And if its not, then why even bother going if your not gonna dance. Datarock will make you leave saying “Sex me up!”, and Ladytron… is Ladytron.  For those of you that missed them last time (and are now kicking yourselves in the ass) here is your chance.  Oh! and don’t let the 3 whole dollars worth of savings (if you buy tix in advance) get you bc shipping costs 3$. But I do recommend getting them a lil beforehand bc they might sell out (and most like will) , you’ll also get in the venue hella faster.

I stand corrected

So when they decided to ditch us at Langerado for SNL, did they think we were going to want then back?! Do they think that people are going to go to their show to hoppity hop hop to their happy go lucky beats. Do they think we want to listen to “one of the best cds of the year” live?!?! Psshhh. Child pleaseeeee.

meh. So maybe we will and maybe we do.

The Ivy leaguers of the moment are coming to Miami.

Weather prediction: Ionnooo. Tickets could sell out really fast just like they could linger for a while. They seeme to have become a love/hate band (thanks MTV!). So you tell me. But i can tell you this; that is a long ass name for a venue. Sheaaa.
