Perils played a really fun show with our “big sister” band Full Tank on Wednesday at Rocks in Your Head record store in Williamsburg. Before the show even started I bought a Pastels CD I have been coveting for 5 years (and it’s just as good as when I listened to it in my room when I first moved to Portland, Oregon and was 19 and over the top crazy). From this photo, though Yumi is blocked by Maggie, you can see that Perils prefers to play (or only can afford) Fender squire guitars. And yes, that is the Transformers movie in the background. Many thanks for friends who came out (and those of you who say “I didn’t know you played a show” it’s because we didn’t play any new songs, so I didn’t want to wear out our welcome so to speak).

Enid Crow (right) and Vivian Justin (left) play their songs about the smallest pony in the world and other things at the riffRAG launch party. Fun!
Redbeard at Bluestockings
The lovely Sam Miller plays her sad, beautiful, country-style songs under the name “Redbeard” at the riffRAG issue 2 launch party last weekend. Redbeard are so awesome, you should ask Sam to play in your town soon: http://www.myspace.com/redbeardband
Rose Melberg and Andi
Rose’s new songs are just so beautiful- I feel like she’s less “twee” than she used to be and writes sweet, solid, pop songs about living, loving, loss and refinding yourself and love again. At this show Andi joined her singing back up and so did a nice young man playing electric piano. Rose had to borrow a guitar and then fasten the guitar strap with Jennifer’s shoe lace. Here is is joking that there better not be a fire, because Jennifer would be out of luck. It makes me feel happy that Rose has been making good music for so long and is still at it… it’s pretty cool.
