bcrow's bday present was cashed in last night at the Troubador where we checked out White Rabbits. in my experience, there are two types of shows...shows you go to where you know the band's entire catalogue and geek out when they play your favorite song and shows where you discover new bands/tunes. last night was the latter and i was not disappointed. it's yet to be decided how the music will translate to my ipod, but the live show was bangin'...literally. these guys just f**kin' wailed on their instruments and with intensity like that its easy to dig it. not to mention the guys are hot...especially the percussionist/bassist dude who seriously jammed out -- he beat that tom-tom (?) like a tribal war drum. his bobbing rhythm was infectious...and i may or may not have been that lame groupie girl who dorkily yelled 'good job' at him afterwards as he was leaving the troub (one day im going to make eye contact with a sexy drummer will fall madly in love at first sight damnit!) we also got a chance to chat with the talented lead singer briefly who was very nice, so 10 points for not being a cocky douche! all in all: great show, great company.
many thanks bcrow. birthday present success!
extra credit: check out some videos of them live here. except they're all from the angle that blocks my favorite band element - intense smokin' hot drummer boy.
