Be water, my friend.

I played a pretty cool show last night with some super fun bands. We were the only band without coordinated costumes. Some photos and videos below (they were taken on a cell phone so mind the distorted sound).

1. Flower Mulu
These girls were cute and played some fun garage rock, 60's mod grooves and so forth. When I went up to talk to them, they introduced themselves with their stage names, each named after a different type of flower. I asked what their reals names were and it turned out that those were much easier to remember. I couldn't really tell how old they were because they were wearing lots of makeup and fake eyelashes, but they said they've been playing together for 10 years. I bought the cd they were selling, which was a compilation of girl groups in Japan. All the songs on the disc have the same stereotypical garage sound, which isn't necessarily a bad thing considering you can't really find this type of music in Vancouver. I rather enjoyed it actually.


2. The Mighty Moguls All the members of this band wore cavemen costumes and their lead singer had a voice like a 60 year old smoker. And she was a chick. They were really cool though. Lots of energy. In normal clothes, they look, well, normal.


3. Lemon
From "Heard It On the Grapevine" to some Japanese stuff to "Proud Mary," this diva turned it on.



4. The ParrotsCute bass player. Sgt. Pepper-ish costumes. Matching white coiled patch cords.
