Oh, hi there! Didn't hear you come in.
On Saturday night, Heather and I attended a Women gig. Supporting were The French Wives, who weren't all that great, and Share, who were pretty good. If you happen to get a chance, check out Share's track Fish Out Of Water, it's a thrash tinged indie assault on the senses (in a good way).
Women were excellent, which was to be expected. In a similar way to last time I was completely amazed by the juxtaposition of wonderful, almost ethereally light guitar riffs and heavy, heavy bass lines. Their music is very menacing and very uplifting (in that order), and they alternate between sounding like the Kinks and some rhythmic, tribal, death-voodoo noise rock band, if they aren't sounding like both at once. So yeah, pretty amazing stuff, check them out if you haven't:

Also check out some photos that Heather took of the gig, and of us hanging out with the guys in a CRAZY! place in Glasgow:

This place was called the Flying Duck. There was a kitchen that wasn't a real kitchen, a microwave that wasn't a real microwave, portaits of people saying all kinds of WACKY and HILARIOUS shit. We played Connect 4 and Jenga - tempers frayed, champions were made. It was tons of fun. I'm pretty much in love with the Flegels. And Mike, Chris and Robert, to be honest.
Speaking of great bands on Jagjaguwar, Parts & Labour are touring at the moment in the UK, and are playing Captain's Rest tonight in Glasgow (where we were on Saturday night - a pretty cool, but expensive pub with a cosy little venue downstairs in the basement), so if you're around, check 'em out:

Got a lot of work on at the moment, so better wrap this up.
Lots of love!
