Hot Little Pony (aka Far)

Growing up in Northern California and being a bit younger then most of my friends, I only caught the tail end of the Sacramento scene.  Seeing the Deftones when I was 14 truly changed my life (nov 3, 1998 Petaluma CA - Phoenix Theatre).

I was a minute late with Far.  I picked up Tin Cans right after the band broke up in ‘99.  I have not been to a show in such a long time where the vibe was so amazing.  No egos. No drama.  Everyone was there to see this band they loved and missed.

I’ve seen Onelinedrawing a handful of times, but there’s no comparison…sorry Jonah.  Aside from Coachella, Far @ Glasshouse was the highlight of my year.  Can’t wait for them to come back after the UK tour.

On another note, getting really excited for Girl Talk this weekend @ Fonda…saw him at All Points West and the set blew me away…5.5 more hours people.

Check this out - Far at the Glasshouse

It’s been hectic around here lately, I am tired from four nights in a row of Tegan & Sara….  but I couldnt be more excited for this coming weekend with two nights of Girl Talk.   I am not sure when I first discovered him, I think my brother introduced me because his fraternity was into the CD for their parties.  Needless to say, I was thinking it wasn’t going to be something I was into (since he is a huge Dave Mathews fan, no offense).  Boy was I wrong.  As good as the CDs are, his performance this year at Lollapalooza made me a true believer.

Not everyone will get into a blow up raft and crowd surf on top of a rowdy drunk crowd.  Check it out below…  Can the Fonda handle inflatables?  You can bet that I will be there to see…

PS - did you catch the flying parachutes too?
