Built to Spill

A few nights ago I was convinced by my friend Nikolas to go down to the Casbah and see if we couldn't get some tickets to the already sold out Built to Spill show.

After only 15-20 minutes, random dude A comes through, "yadayadayada i have tickets, face value, last minute," DEAL. Note to self: Never think you can't get in to any sold out show last minute, give it a try, you'll be pleasantly surprised, if you still can't get in, well grab a beer somewhere close by or go home knowing you gave it a some real effort.

They played a lot of great songs, but my friend and I(skateboard enthusiasts ourselves) noticed that there was a favoring to the skateboarding crowd, for instance songs that have become very popular in the skateboard world for their roles in bigger skateboard films.

Started the night off with a short walk and a "roadie" down to the venue.



So glad to see "Stab" played live!




The whole band is so low key, you could run into either one of them not know who they were unless they had their instrument in tow. The whole audience had a lot of energy and band meet them with an amazing set.
