home away from home

Good thing it's only a few blocks from my house, because I seem to be frequenting the Black Cat more often than not. I just can't help it! Who wouldn't want to stroll down the street to see a great band, whether its a Wednesday or a Monday night - don't hate me because im a groupie. This past week I saw Grouplove and The Morning Benders. Grouplove opened for the Joy Formidable. Twin Sister opened for the Benders, so I got to see some pretty wicked stuff.
If you haven't heard of Grouplove you better get familiar.


And read this article from the LA Times - makes me want to start a band....or travel to Greece.

Next up on the Black Cat schedule is Tame Impala this Tuesday - I highly recommend tuning in. They have a very psychedlic sound that brings me back to the Beatles.

Try to catch a Twin Sister/Morning Benders show while they're touring together- next show is November 18th at Webster Hall in NYC.
