Was your Friday, May 11 2012 as fun as mine?
Popgun by day, LAZERPOP by night.
At Glasslands Gallery of course where else would it be
I’ve seen Dinosaur Feathers and Grandchildren play together before… and while I didn’t draw their show, I did draw the poster… although, as Grandchildren aren’t mentioned on it, who would believe me? I got the memo about the opener after the thing had been sent to printing, so unfortunately the poster doesn’t count as a record.

At the wonderful Glasslands Gallery in Brooklyn, made possible by Popgun Booking.
How about some walnut ink, eh? I give the crayolas a break every now and then.
Soft Spot! As the story goes, the two frontmen grew up together in a country town– their lead singer would spend her evenings singing in the church choir, and immediately steal away to an underground punk show. The classical training shows– I remember being struck by her ethereal voice and exclaiming “Kate Bush!” to a friend at one point. And the vocals cocktail well with the shimmery, pointed gusto of their music, likably reminiscent of Blonde Redhead and Grizzly Bear.
And in a strange turn of events, I actually had less time to draw Young Magic than I did Soft Spot. Which is sad– I love their work, and they are playing with very compelling combinations of Brooklyn fuzz pop and hip hop.
All was held at the cute little Cameo Gallery.
An eternal thank you to Popgun Presents, who have essentially sponsored the whole show sketching project with a generous amount of press passes.
