Everyone getting cell phone pics of Aaron when he came on stage.Oh yeah, I got there at 7:30pm. Although it was rough being a small girl in heels in the middle of Mosh-town on just one Rum&Coke, the energy of this show was infectious. Their recordings don't do the live performance justice. Not sure I can ever replicate this experience...especially since it was a CD release party and I got the new album for free!
Aaron's dancing is hard to describe - it doesn't appear to have any planned choreography...just totally random moves. But for some reason, his spastastic style is admirable...maybe because I wouldn't have the guts to move like that actually in front of people!
You have to like electronica music to last the entire show...a few friends I knew that were there, not close like Em and me, bailed early. But I kinda blame the opening dj...he wore me down a lot. Nothing interesting, same beats the entire time and we kept wishing he'd leave the stage. Longest 45 mins of my life.
The best part of the Ghostland show, aside from laughing at the pathetic attempts of people to sing along to Sad Sad City, was at the encore when they brought out the UT Longhorn Band to play their new track "The Band Marches On". Sucks to be those friends of mine that left early...they missed this song...
...be forewarned the amps were a bit intense for my camera's mic, so its not the best sound quality...
PS - the Statesman named Ghostland Observatory the Band of the Year for 2007...just sayin'.
