Life During Wartime - Pinhead Gunpowder

The Quitters flyer
So I'm standing outside of the Artistic Armory, double Jameson's on the rocks in one hand, and a chocolate banana bread cupcake in the other. I had just gotten there as The People's Whiskey were finishing up (A yellow flying V? LOL) and after avoiding a run in with one of my super crazy ex's (which is always a fun thing to do) I'm just standing around vibing heavy on what the nights headliners The Quitters were throwing down musically. It was riff heavy, it was intricate, it was diverse, it screamed and then was quiet, it was hypnotic, and it was definitely captivating. Some of the songs seemed to go on forever though. I was wishing I had stationed myself near the front of the stage area before the place got slammed with fans and friends. My friend Sarah told me I could probably work my way to the front if I wanted to, but I told her I was already focused on drinking, and I was content with just standing around and taking it all in. It sounded just fine where I was. Since it was their album release party, I assumed the Quitters were just going to play every song off their new release. I was digging what I was hearing, and I would randomly ask people, 'So, what do you think of how the band sounds?', and aside from the common comment that some of the songs seemed to go on a bit long, no one had a bad thing to say. That's fucking beautiful. All sorts of people came out to Congratulate the Quitters on their new release called Contributing To Erosion, and I'm proud to say that I was one of them. The Quitters annihilated it and I can't imagine that anyone left the Artistic Armory that night disappointed or without one of their catchy tunes stuck in their head. I had that opening song that sounded like an ambulance stuck in mine... heh heh heh

Illustrations flyer
Unfair Fight is playing with Illustrations, Keepsake, and In Fugue, a Local new Hardcore band that's been gigging around as of late, and they're playing @ the Artistic Armory on Sunday. Click here to go to the Facebook event page. I'd tell you to go but you're not going to, so whatever. You suck. Don't feel bad though, because I'm not going to the gig either. I unfortunately have Vegascendents practice that night for a gig we're playing @ the Dive on Tues. with some burlesque troop called The Kountry Kittens and some band called The All-Togethers, so if you got nothing better to do that night, come out to the gig and check out some boobs, both male and female! :-)

Glad you dug the tunes, we had a blast with everyone who was there. Armory is a great place.

Still digging the tunes weeks later Sir! I'm trying to do a write up on the album, but I'm running out of synonyms for the word 'amazing'! :-)
