When I saw Bear Hands that night, dude had almost no voice. That should sound pretty sweet "stripped down."

Class Actress is the worst thing to happen to Brooklyn since... wait... no I can't think of anything. She is actually the worst thing that has ever happened to Brooklyn. Ever.

whatever happened to being able to tune your instruments before you get a record deal?
Posted by Anonymous | October 25, 2010 8:51 PM
Ah yes, their old bassist Surfer J. Blood.

fake problems are great, and some of the nicest guys out there. listen to them.
also, this was kind of cool but you could barely see/hear any of the bands from the party upstairs. wish there was a better way to watch the bands. it looks like some people had access to the studio part, but i don't think i did.
either way, the free food/beer/whiskey was fantastic.
