skipping the opener = “missing 1/3 of the headliner” too…like when we went and saw Jose Gonzalez…. 4 months agosince i’ve been going to smaller shows i’ve gotten in the habit of skipping the opener in general, but last night, for the first time in a while i enjoyed the opener Waz isnt my favorite new band or anything, but they were charming, told good stories, and played pretty music that suited du nord’s darkroomesque lighting. Their songs tend to sound the same whether they are singing about heartache or passing out on the sidewalk waiting for a cab … this ones a u2 cover. also watching this video makes me realize i had major guitar goggles last night.
and thanks to dchu for pointing out how awesome the original u2 video is: http://youtube.com/watch?v=g2BqLlVHlWA (bono looks 12)
