sparkfrost | Belated concert recap

Yeah, totally forgot to do a concert recap of Gold Motel at DC9, and don't feel like typing a whole lot of it. So basically, DC9 is a tiny venue, Family of the Year was kickass (and responded to me on Twitter when I mentioned their album amongst a whole group of others), and Greta is lovely and so friendly.

Palmer,

athrill, and I were standing right in front of Greta the entire concert, and

athrill and I were definitely dancing like fools. Right before the band started in on their second to last song, Greta said she expected to see everyone dancing, "Especially YOU!", pointing at

athrill who of course tried to start beef between DC and Chicago by refusing. But it all worked out ok! Dancing was done, I sang along to all the songs that they played off their EP, which didn't go unnoticed by Greta, and got a few good pics.

After the show we got a chance to talk to Greta for a few minutes, and she is as friendly as all my friends who've met her have led me to believe. She thanked us all for coming out, we talked about high heels versus flats, and decided, due to a mis-hear, that PETA is like Texas, cause they're assholes. Sorry Texas buddies!

Didn't get too many pics, but there are a few under the cut, including one of me about to crack up while Greta looks slightly mischievous.

Greta was singing Oh Susanna and I was telling her that I had *never* heard that before, which is why I look like I'm about to start laughing and Greta looks slightly tricksy.

But yeah, great show and I'd love to see them again. Can't wait for their album to come out this summer!
