Get teenage kicks right through the night

The first time I ever heard "Teenage Kicks", it was love. The seventies punk rock riffs, the unique and charming ring of Feargal's voice, the happy hand claps, the sexy fun lyrics, and danceable beat. I was blown away and instantly became a fan of The Undertones. I love that punk rock sound of the late 70s and early 80s. Definitely my favorite kind of sound. Well, so I heard they were coming to town (minus Feargal, of course), but I had to go anyway. They were so tight and awesome, I had so much fun. It was so amazing to see them. And I have a crush on Damian now. They're all just so cool. However, I totally messed up my video settings while dancing so my video of "Teenage Kicks" is way blurry. Accidentally hit the macro button or something. So sad. Well, not that sad because I was there in person. Sad I cannot share it with you. Anyways, the whole night was full of energy and all kind of surreal whilst being surrounded by happy fans of all ages. Legendary.

Maybe you could break my heart next summer

Weezer covers night at Que Sera. Part of their monthly "Under the Covers Open Mic" series. So much fun and lots of friendly talented people. I think everyone sang something from the Blue Album and Pinkerton, except the adorable couple that sang "Pork and Beans" and also one of my favorite Green album song "Keep Fishin'". Sigh, I miss the good 'ol Weezer. Great job, guys, and feel free to take and repost your pictures.

Then we just get up and go

Night 2. It was great to go to both nights since the set lists were a bit different. Not drastically, but even if they were the same, I wouldn't have minded really. Some of the songs that they sang on one night and not the other were "Bulletproof Heart", "Thank you for the Venom", and "Our Lady of Sorrows". I was so happy they sang "Vampires Will Never Hurt You" on both nights. I just love their first album. It's the album that only die hard fans really love and know. Most people know Three Cheers and Black Parade because that's when they started getting mainstream radio airplay. Regardless, I still remain a big fan because I still love what they do and they haven't disappointed me. Also, they are really humble and appreciate their fans.

You can run away with me any time you want

Night 1. It was so much fun. I felt like a teeny bopper and danced more than I should've. I forgot how old I am. Well, I paid the price for dancing and having that much fun. My calves and thighs were in pain the next several days. Either way, it was so much fun. There's nothing like dancing to your favorite songs and jumping around. I'm going to sound really teeny bopper and say that I say Lyn-z and she was stunning. I also won't go into how long I've loved this band and how they were the only ones that got me through a really crappy time working in this industry.

Why does it get so lonely lonely

Hey, guys. The reason why I haven't been blogging is because I literally have not been going out. The past two months, I've been crazy busy at work. I even missed a gararge rock movie screening event which I rsvp'ed to because I got a last minute project and had to stay at work until 8pm. So, my nights and weekends were spent trying to stay healthy and not get sick from all this stress. I've gotten more white hairs and my skin is a mess right now, but I'm doing good. After being non-stop busy at work, I really want to make the most out of my Memorial Day weekend. The weather is amazing. However, please stop by again because I have a lot of shows planned ahead and lots of photos to come. Have a great weekend! It's the official non-official summer kick-off! And you know I love summer.

Watching DFA 1979 at Coachella (via the Youtube webcast), reminded me of the time my friends and I went to this Downtown warehouse party where MSTRKRFT played. It was so hot inside as it was summer and there was no AC. Thankfully, the ice cream truck gave out free popsicles. This was back in June 2006. I took this picture.

No, I didn't go to Coachella. But I did watch my favorite bands on the webcast. And I just wanted to tell you that Matt Shultz was the best dressed at the festival. Cage the Elephant is hands down one of my favorite bands ever. Both albums are so freaking awesome. And he's just the best most energetic frontman ever. Although I listen to lots of different types of music, I seriously fucking love loud punk rock. Back to his outfit. He's the only one who could pull it off anyways.
