Parenthetical Girls can be very touching

Evangelicals bring the creepiness to Cake Shop's basement

Parethetical Girls played an emotional, energetic and crowd-interactive show in the cozy basement of Cake shop last night (Oct 02). It was the first show PG played here in a while - their last scheduled NYC appearance was cancelled due to mechanical issues. Pwrfl Power, who played a show at Union Hall one night earlier, was in the crowd...and blogged about it...
I headed to Cake Shop after dinner where my big brothers Parenthetical Girls played.He missed another great set then. Miracles of Modern Science and Muggabears were also on the four-artist bill. Rude Bear was also in the house. More pictures below...
They played very good. it gets better everytime.
I didn't catch the Evangelicals.

haha @ 4:29. it is superbly ironic, and I think I'm in love with it, especially since he seems so bashful about it
I knew I should've gone to that show, I could've touched his stache too...

Evangelicals were underwhelming. Sad I missed my buddy Rude Bear. Oh the drunken times we had at ATP.

An ironic mustache? What a pathetic, conformist child.
