BACK TO LAND

Hi. New Animals is back. Srsly. Last friday, I went to a great show. Not Radiohead super light show kind of great (which was awesome), but sing-a-long rocking out in a basement with guitars and banjos kind of great. I saw Port O'brien at Union Hall. These guys rocked out for all in attendance and you could see that they were having a lot of fun doing it. The singer works 1/3 of the year on a small fishing boat up in Alaska with his dad, and writes a lot of the songs about fishing and the sea and life on the boat. For the last song, the band requested that we open a box up front labeled "Alaska Adventure something." It was filled with pots and pans and tamborines which got passed out to everyone to bang along and join in singing on the last song. It was awesome. Also! If you are a girl that took pictures with a Holga of the show, and are somehow reading this, send me the pics!
