What Laura Says. SilverLake Lounge/Battle of the hipster-zombies

We've seen these guys 3 times now in the last year and half or so. They're from AZ and they make the trek out here once every quarter it seems like. They are so unbelievably good live that you feel the need to thank them after they're done. You feel like you went to church in Arkansas for an hour and came out refreshed. - not that I would know, but I imagine that's what it would feel like. Although their records are great, they're definitely more of a live band because of their performance. On top of that they all seem like really humble guys. Check them out!





- I couldn't let this one slide.... Here's the deal. I know We're in Silverlake (yuppy, hipster capitol of the world) but I wanted to show you what you're missing incase you've never been. Keep in mind, hipsters know what a "hipster" is. They know that everyone knows "hipsters" live in Silverlake and drink Pabst Blue Ribbon.......They know they love Ray-Bans. Yet, they all do, act and dress the same as eachother in order to be different? Check out this bunch. We have the one on the right who looks like a gay son of a vampire version of Friar Tuck, to his left, what I call the "zombie-hipster" where it's so light out at 11pm(in a bar) that you must wear your knock ray-bans as you sway back and forth to the music like a zombie. Last, but certainly not least. The qwarky, nerdy, white kid with dreadlocks, who maybe didn't have an identity out in Omaha, but since he's moved out to Silverlake to pursue screenwriting(for indie films) he's all the rage. I mean how could you not with dreadlocks down to your ass. Shakka brah! Respect!

Oh Silverlake...til next time.
