July 30th: Save the Date
Wolf Parade, one of my favorite bands in the wholewideworld is in town in a month’s time.
I’m the distance between my index finger and my thumb away from a backstage pass and an exclusive interview. I’ve never had a backstage pass; I’ve never interviewed a band. I’ve never really gotten close to the stage of any concert. I mean I did try at this overpriced grand debacle of disillusionment, but that doesn’t count.
This is their side project: Handsome Furs. Husband, wife, elixir-looking bottle of Red Stripe, an old keyboard/drum machine thing, and a guitar climax: does life get any better than that?

6/26 UPDATE: Editorial assignment/papal blessing secured; just need the label to get back to me now. Hot damn I love journalism!
