i was at modest mouse last nite at the fillmore with some good friends of mine and it hit me harder than ever that i have wanted to play music for a living for as long as i can remember. i suppose i couldn't articulate it in elementary school, but the feeling was already there. that feeling rises in me when i watch a performer work with the audience, and when i high five a stranger becuz the band is playing our favorite song.
point is, modest mouse rocks and they deserve everything they've gotten. the line up on this tour is certainly a force to be reckoned with.
their new single 'Float on' is my favorite song lately, watch the VIDEO.
the kids love them, and it makes me happy that when i turn on LIVE 105. (which i never used to do) i am as likely to hear the shins or modest mouse as incubus or311.
speaking of the good old shindersons...
i am ecstatic to announce that rogue wave is going on tour with the shins
ECSTATIC!!!!
check tour dates at our new booking agency, inland empire
and before that, we are playing with TV on the Radio on April 28 @ bottom of the hill and April 29/30 @ the echo in LA.
TV on the Radio are so HOTT right now. like seriously.
it is good times for all. i love it.
if anyone has been following my posts for a while, you might recall that last march
i said i wouldn't be in the same career by the time my next birthday comes around.
well, i have a month to go and i have to say that 3 weeks touring with the shins is pretty darn close to a different career. the groundwork is laid at least.
much love,
gram
