XX at CMJ With suprise Apperance by The Golden Filter

Well it was fri and me and Sicca were feening for something to do..  already Post Op and appeased by the new york bagel gods, we were going to meet up with Adam Warped and Chris Casual  to go to  Hercules And Love Affair but we decided to go out and about with  our  very uber hip  friend / business associate /manager and over most of all awesome guy.. Traey Hatch .. He told us that we should come check out this band XX and meet up with our new found friend Myles Grosovsky of Sneak Attack Media

well anyyywaysssss… enough of the  name dropping and tag indexing lets move back to the story at hand..

So we get on the subway (Imagine That) and head toward the hotel. and arrive greeted by yer typical are you on the list douche bag to tell us that we were at the wrong place. So 2 block later we arrived to smiling faces that greeted and checked if we were on the list  and so we entered the   beautiful but yet to be packed hotel.

As we walked down the stairs we heard the oh familiar but faint sounds of a DJ coming form downstairs, im assuming it was in the basement of the hotel but what the hell do i know. So after Sicca decided to get her 17 dollar glass of wine in a plastic cup  we decided to hit the dance floor. it was packed but not yet to packed and it was a little odd cause the music wasn’t up very loud.. So after all that it start`ed to fill up more and more and more.. and it wouldn’t stop. So naturally the music became louder which i might add there was a Dj Tag team That caught my ear playing Indie dance To Electro to Disco There names were Dave And Josh Of  Fixed NYC so after a few waddles on the dance floor i naturally had to pee right when the place was filled but on my way to the pisser low and behold  whom did i see  could this be  ….

Yes YES yeS it was! it was Penelope Of The Golden FilterI felt like a school boy telling her how im such a big hugeee fan.. hahha   what can ya do when i like something i like something.. anyways so back to the floor  and we met up with miles chatted for a tad and the dj music turned down  and the  band XX started to come on..

YOU COULD BARLEY HEAR THEM…  as we all looked in astonishment  as how they turned off all the speakers in the back  and only the staeg speakers we became quite  restless. i liked what i heard but just couldn’t hear it very well so we decided to make like a banana and split!..

On my way out the facilities  i was greeted again by Penelope and Stephen of The Golden Filter so naturally asked them when they were coing back to Austin they said probably SXSW. So i said goodbyes and we wandered off into the Manhattan night  all in one piece.

THE END

P.S. so Chris Casual and Adam Warped were dancing the night away with trannys!
UGGG i would have paid to see this! Jealous!

The Golden Filter Beauty Bar Austin TX ( jakes Ghetto Review

By far this was one of the most memorable shows  to me this year because every track rocked ! Chris Casual  early this month had hipped me on to them but i really hadn’t payed much attention until 2  weeks ago . To me there like 20 20 vision  meets Siouxie  reminded me allot of Random Factors earlier stuff and 2020 visons sound (that they  so strayed away from    but with an updated twist!
