Yay for adding another "on the list" show to my repertoire... Went to the El Rey last night for the band's show just in time for the last opening act, Boys' Night Out from somewhere in Canada. Scary Kids took the stage right on time, and all the Immortal employees chilled at the back watching the most ridiculous live show ever. The thing about Scary Kids is that they are INFINITELY more exciting live than any other band in the history of the world. Between their headbanging double guitarists and the keyboardist who only ACTUALLY plays about 5% of every song, their stage presence is not quite like any other band. (How many times have YOU seen a keyboardist under five-and-a-half-feet tall pick his instrument up off of its stand and play it vertically with his tongue before the band's set is even half over? Also, how are his arms even long enough to reach from one end to the other?)
I hadn't seen Scary Kids perform since Warped Tour in June, so it was awesome seeing them live again, playing, of course, all the amazing songs I've come to jam to in the bus every morning on the way to work.
I've done SO MUCH random stuff involving their tour and album release this summer that I am thinking I might pay a visit to Charlotte to catch them live again in a few weeks... It's the closest they'll be to ATL, and... I mean... they're awesome! And, of course, I never get tired of being on the list. :)
Reena, the other Immortal intern, and me at the video shoot for "Faces" in an underground meatpacking building. Dress: not mine.
Belt: studded, and most definitely mine.
Eyeliner: thick.
Hair: FABULOUS.
The hair was teased into a giant puffball before being twisted into bobbypins with "an emphasis on your awesome bangline." The next morning I had to condition three times to get all the tangles out from the backcombing!"I have to go now. Yeah, I'm about to eat some chicken."
