Gang Gang
Marnie
Pitchfork: So, the kissing booth. Are you tired of talking about it?Gang Gang Dance and Marnie Stern played a late show at Santos Party House in NYC on Saturday night (11/29). I don't think there was a kissing booth unfortunately. It was the last night of their tour together - the tour that also had them at Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn one night earlier. Z's played with them in Brooklyn. 18th Dye played first at Santos...then Marnie, then Gang Gang Dance, and then Marnie and a member of 18th Dye returned to the stage for the final encore.Marnie Stern: Yeah, well, I just have no idea! We got the ticket, we're broke, barely scraping by. So we thought-- well the tour manager, Malia [James], said, "Let's do a kissing booth with Gang Gang [Dance, with whom Stern is touring]." And so everyone decided we should do a kissing booth. And then, so we [laughs] made up the sign, we first-- which was in Seattle-- and nobody was doing it, so the Gang Gang guys paid [laughs] for the first couple nights.
Pitchfork: That's sweet.
Marnie Stern: Isn't that sweet? And then... I don't know. Then we sort of stopped doing it, but um, I don't know, it's fun.
Marnie Stern's next NYC show is this Monday at Knitting Factory. More Santos pictures below...

You can see one of the Olsen twins in a couple of those pictures.
She accidently burned me with a cigarette as she was dancing during the GGD set.

I wanted a kiss from Marnie at MHoW but it wasn't Marnie in charge of the kissing booth that night :-/, but the black hair girl that is with Marnie on one of those pics.

Show was a lot of fun.
Seems GGD had a band meeting and decided it was time they move some units and thus the progession of their sound. Western Europeans will definately 'get this'. The amount of hippie freak dancing taking place is a testament to that. Also, there was a segment of the crowd which qualifies for the label Public School Kids.
And yeah, Mary Kate too.

Nice way to forget about 18th dye.How very rude but thats what you'd expect I guess.They can actually play there instruments and have been together since 1991.Other cities have 18th Dye playing last.A kissing booth for Marnie and GG hippie dance?Real dumb.Nice ironic shirts there last two bands.Thats just cheesy, but they think they invented "experimental" music.Go finger tap your way through some music history to real unique bands that did this 30 years ago much better.Good to see Mark Shippy though.US Maple was great

Ok.I see theres pictures of 18th Dye.Still dont care for the shallow hipster stuff of the last two bands.Lots of posturing.No substance.
