Why I Love SoCow

Ok, for those who dont know, I’m in the Passionistas. Recently we played a show that you might have been to or heard about on this blog, I was intrigued and happy to play, but definetly not stoked. Originally The Vows contacted us and Photobooth through Myspace. I’m friends with Photobooth, and we agreed it would be a fun show. Then later that day me and Robbie (the drummer for Photobooth) are sitting at work, and realise that the night they offered is the same night that Socow and Nobunny are supposed to play in San Francisco. Now i’m ready to call off the show because both me and Robbie have been listening to Socow and Nobunny for a while, had never seen them play, and only knew about them through Myspace. They were these rare jems that we had just stumbled upon and they where finally coming to town, we couldn’t miss them We check their Myspace and find out that they want to play SF but dont have a show booked. So through the power of Myspace we conntacted them and everyone else and got them on the bill. Now, I am stoked on the show. so the show starts off great. The Passionistas opened and killed it! NoBunny was next and got everyone dancing! and now its time for SoCow! Anyway… to answer the initial question for why I love Socow… he played guitar to his ipod without a backing band… actually thats not true, he had a backing band playing invisible instruments; cute, right? but everything bad kept happening. the song fucked up, or someone put on a record while he was playing, or one of the invisible instruments fell out of tune… But then, the last song he played, no backing ipod, just him and guitar and everyone singing and clapping their hands… it was amazing! Through mishaps he made a really special evening.

So here is a so here is a SoCow song and a NoBunny video!

Oh, Yeah, Photobooth and The Vows where good too.
