LAST YEAR'S MODEL

It was a cold night in New York City on Feb 8th, 2010. Hadouken!, had come to town from across ‘the pond‘, looking for an elevated platform from which to launch their fireballs. Me and my gaggle of models (hi guys!) had a performance scheduled at the very same location (seemingly already conquered by Hadouken!’s mountains of equipment). Fortunately for us, one of their touring members turned out to be this very kind sound technician who helped us move our belongings hither and thither. Big up to that dude. Our pre-show routine was proceeding smoothly…

Hadouken! looks on as my amp is shoryukened.

Things got a little hairy right before we started playing. I acted quickly toward a resolution, however, by offering up my headphone amp as a sacrifice to Hadouken!. I simply plugged it into their funny-looking power strip (tnwss), which basically murdered it. I’m happy to report that it has not died in vain, however: the result was the successful completion of both our’s and Hadouken!’s shows! I must now begin my long journey to find a replacement headphone amp. I will begin with a prayer and a few bucks at the quagmire known as “guitar center”. Wish me luck!

Anyway, we started playing, and everything was going great.  Model-001 was righteous and Models-003 and -002 were slammin’.  Right in the middle of a song, though, this really big fish swam up and perched on my cymbal:

thanks to eatsdirt for the photo and Model-003 for the fish!

So, I ate that sh&t.

More importantly though, we played great, and lots of fabulous people showed up.  CHECK OUT THIS GREAT BLOGPOST ABOUT IT!  Thanks, King of the Gigabitches! (say it five times fast)

Also, check out all of eatsdirt’s excellent photos!

(disclaimer: we are NOT chipmunks.  we only sound like them here.  This is due to the fact that our show was captured by a tiny digital voice recorder which was running low on batteries.)

(disclaimer 2: we were only slightly nude.)

you’ve opened my eyes to interscopes and gyrations of horse proportions. I hope this frequently updates the stampede. Give it some flailing thought, a messy minute for slow-down freezer-burn lacerations permanently against flakes.

a desert polyglot made a few sword phone calls while landing over earlobe spread. and this meant shoe to lip plucking ends early for erstwhile vainglorious drops soaking inside magazine particle pizzazz.

next to atomic nuns, nothing draws mouth grief like salty, flickering, magic pro-belts. Get it to gather, a pinch for ways in Maybe Camp. this side blessing, harnessed full of magnum flavinoids (while gross introspect came bereft) made focus spree all over again.

pride-stew balls bounce toward monitor-flying speaktanks on a florregular basis.
