Super fun show last night. Missed Cinema Hearts...back to school night. My son's math teacher did have a Sonic Youth poster in his room, which was cool. He also had an Oasis poster, which was not.
Feel like I've heard of Tchotchke before, but never listened to them. Really fun set, and a pretty great opener for Hunx. Their vocal harmonies reminded me of what flowers sound like singing in old cartoons, but I mean that in the best way. Closed the set with a pretty ripping cover of Egyptian Shumba.
Hunx was a blast. Short set in a perfect way. Played maybe half songs from the new album and half older stuff. Crowd way into it, especially with the wardrobe, uh, changes I guess we'll call it? My son happened to see me scroll past a story of his on Instagram and told me I was the "gayest straight man in the world". That might be pretty accurate.
One final note...we all know you don't wear the band's shirt to see the band, etc. etc. But wearing the shirt of a band member's other band is pretty goofy too.
