Death Cab for Statutory
My god were there were a lot of teeny-boppers at the Death Cab show on Friday. The fundamental difference in having a show sponsored by KCRW (sophisticated, elevated listening) and KROQ (fluffed radio for the masses) is, and will always be, the average age of the audience. I mentioned to my friend while at the show that standing amidst this crowd of what looked like maybe 60% girls under the age of 18 was a form of entrapment.
Promoter: Hey jackoff.
Me: Hey.
Promoter: You know, Death Cab for Cutie is playing.
Me: Oh cool! I wanna see 'em.
Promoter: And see them you shall, my friend. And don't worry, you can be friendly with all the girls you want.
Me: Sweet.
*Goes to show*
Me: Wait a minute...
**NOTE: Actual conversation did not take place anywhere other than the empty wasteland that is my mind.**
The actual concert was, well, kinda mixed. The band sounded incredible. This being the first time I'd seen them live, I was very impressed with the transfer from recorded to live performance. Visually, however, it was incredibly dull. All four band members were fairly static through out the show and the lighting was not up to par of a big stage performance. Aside from one moment when Ben and the drummer were drumming simulatenously, there wasn't much worth watching. I still enjoyed myself, though.
