I was rather pumped to go and see Think About Life at Knitting Factory a couple of Thursdays ago. I had heard a little buzz about them and they looked like a fun group but alas, they failed to make much of an impact on me. While their music was peppy and their lead singer endearing, together, they sort of created a bit of a sticky mess of it all. The lead singer's vocals reminded me a bit of Julian Casablancas while the music was very Bloc Party. Separately, great. Together, not so much. Lord I hate writing bad reviews, especially when it is so obvious that those boys were just up there having a good time. After the Think About Life set, lead singer, Martin Cesar, came up to the balcony and danced like a madman during the Long Blondes set right next to me. A bit distracting, but oh so funny. Especially when he stepped on me.
The Long Blondes, however, I really enjoyed. Another British import, this time fronted by a sexy, brunette, female vocalist, their music is The Libertines at their best. They'll be touring most of the British Festivals and, funnily enough, the Venice Bienale. Chris over at Music Snobbery was also bopping around the balcony with Martin and me.
Oh, and to the cute guy who just moved back to NYC from Japan and bought me a Pabst: Hi, sorry we didn't quite hit it off but thanks for the beer. You were awfully cute though.
