wolf fuck

last saturday was full of montreals contribution to music. montreal in pomona, pomona being pomona, but anywhere outside of los angeles seems to be a good spot to see music these days. maybe im old, maybe im not skinny enough, but i cant go to another show and look at people wearing girls pants and an american apparel striped tank top, or h and m....whatever it is. nor can i associate with people who wear sunglasses at night anymore. at any rate, montreals Holy Fuck opened for wolf parade and with a name like that i expected nothing but nonsense. and as i was being nagged for my smoking outside by my wife while swimming in a sea of pants and striped shirts i said "maybe we should go see this Holy Fuck shit". and i could not have been happier. outstanding highs and wallowing lows with fucking crazy sampling and loops to get to the two. great stuff.

wolf parade......wolf parade have a great new album coming by the sound of what they played last weekend. its a sad sad state of affairs when a band has to apologize, or come across apologetic about playing new songs because the attention span of a 16 year old half scenester, half piece of shit cant pay attention to anything but what they have heard on myspace. the reality of it is that wolf parades new album is going to be amazing. dan boeckner did what hes supposed to, krug did as well, hadji played clean and quite well for being in Holy Fuck as well. i was a little disappointed as i thought Jonny and the Moon were opening but dante decarro is fucking great in wolf parade. and i dont know the drummers name. but he was there. wolf parade and whoever should always just skip L.A. and opt for venues with a decent clientel. but at this point, when those lame fucking hats and striped tanks are even in the new Mervyns insert in the paper, i guess theres no way of escaping the slightly cleaner more gay version of sid vicious meets the hamptons.
