I don’t know why I didn’t post about Will from BRIDEZ first solo outing before the show. I guess thats just how we do it around here sometimes. Sorry Will!
Because I am kinda juvenile, I was disappointed to hear that there was no band called Butt Milk Shake but that, in fact, it was two bands Butt and Milk Shake. You can’t always get what you want I guess, being a child I’m still learning that.
Anyway, Will assembled a five piece band and turned out a set of fully arranged pop songs from what was supposedly just a bedroom recording projec for the occasiont. There’s a nice writeup of this shindig over on the guardian’s music blog http://www.sfbg.com/blogs/music/2008/10/ivy_makes_us_itch_for_more.html where you can learn that a) The Li Po is a pit but everybody loves it anyway b) Will’s backing band was basically members of Girls and the The Passionistas c) this show was fun and d) somebody is either backed by bank or spends a little too much time in an upscale grocery store because they think of presets in terms of overused adjectives for white wine. Just sayin.
Here’s some photos:
