Last night we went to see 20 minute loop and James Combs at the Red Devil Lounge. I hate that place. Every time I’ve gone there, I’ve been forced to sit through some really terrible music to get to the good stuff and last night was no exception. Red Devil is always chock full of drunken knuckleheads too. There’s only so much a girl can take. We bought a pack of smokes, we were so angst ridden.
It was the first time I’d seen James Combs and he was great. Very talented songwriter. As Kelly put it, he’s like a more stable Elliot Smith. As always, 20 Minute Loop were great and I can’t believe you haven’t bought their latest CD, Yawn + House = Explosion yet. What’s wrong with you? Go buy it, damnit. Honestly, I feel like indiegeek (my music site) is a failure as long as 20 minute loop stays a relatively unknown band. They should be revered as one of the best indie bands of the 21st century.
This is a photo of James Combs accompanied by Nils and Kelly from 20 minute loop.
