Last night I was sitting home trying to figure out what I wanted to do for the night. Then, right on time, Tom (Radio America and BSC writer) called me up and told me he was partying at Lit. The funny thing was I RSVPd earlier and was going to end up there eventually anyway so I made up my mind and went to Lit.
When I got there I went to the bar and grabbed a free Sparks or two. I went looking for Tom but didn't see him and then I saw some people going into a little room in the back. The room was the "band room" and that's where Tom was. I didn't even know there was a band room at Lit - you learn something new everyday.
So I went back there and hung out and drank. There was a fairly large tub of beer back there for the band. Howeever most of the people in the room were not in the band yet everyone was sucking down the freebies. So I joined in and grabbed a brew. By the time Aarktica came on I had a nice little buzz going.
They played very moody atmospheric music and were pretty good if that's you're thing. The funny thing is the singer was all tatted up and wearing a Danzig shirt. You don't see too many metal heads fronting bands like this - it was kinda refreshing. Then they covered a Misfits song and I really got into it. I can't even remember what song it was but it was the weirdest Misfits cover ever. At first it felt a bit blasphemous but it grew on me and by the end I was up front singing along.
After that it was back to the band room for more beer. For the rest of the night there were beer bottles handed to me as soon as I would finish. Needless to say I was totally shit faced by the end of the night. I completely missed Nous Non Plus, which sucks because I've been hearing good things about them.
I have no clue what time it was when we left but I was gone. This morning was pretty rough as well but I guess I should know that by now.
