I Finally Stopped Being Lazy and Wrote This

12/27/2012

 
Pretend that I posted this a long time ago.

Me with The Cheetahs
Wednesday, September 26, I started out my week in Ypsilanti. The Streetwalking Cheetahs, newly renamed The Cheetahs, were playing at Woodruff’s. Lead singer and guitarist Drew Hill had messaged me about the gig, so I decided to go with my friends Erin and Charlie. I’d only seen The Cheetahs once before, but I liked them a lot, so the drive was worth it. Erin and Charlie immediately dug their sound as well, and it made for a great night.

Gardens
Thursday, September 27, was probably the craziest concert I’ve ever experienced. PJ’s Lager House was hosting a two part event, “Under the Big Tent,” and Thursday’s show consisted of Gardens, Timmy’s Organism, Ty Segall, and Thee Oh Sees. There were hundreds of people in this large tent set up in the lot next to the venue, coming and going throughout the night. Even though it was a cold night, I ended up putting my coat in my car because of all the body heat and movement. The night was loud and crowded and chaotic; we had to push through hoards of people to get anywhere. From this chaos came something wonderful, though. It was a great music experience unlike any other that we got to share with one another. So much energy, so many young people and familiar faces… It was definitely a show I won’t be forgetting any time soon. As Zak Bratto (Growwing Pains) said the next morning, “last night was in-tents.”
