Can I Get an Autograph for my Friend?

Went to see Eisley the other night in Chapel Hill. They are a good family band (never thought I would ever say that sentence out loud) from Texas. I really wanted to hear "Marsh King's Daughter" or "Trolly Wood" but it didn't happen. It was at a smaller venue though, so I hung out with the band after the show for a bit and chatted and they seemed like good people.

Opening band was The Myriad. They were decent, but oddly didn't play long enough to really judge. They did mention the movie Labyrinth which earned them big points from me...

Side note: Sufjan Stevens is on repeat on my iPod. Damn I love that boy. If he is gay, I don't want to know...

Good venue. Good show, although he does turn his back on the audience too often. They played an amazing live "The Ghost of You Lingers" which was impressive since it has never been one of my favorites. "I Summon You" always has been one of my favorites and that was great to hear live as well.

They had a couple opening bands. The first, White Rabbits, I liked quite a bit. The second, The Walkmen, didn't thrill me. Something about the lead singers voice just got old fast.

Also, a very cute boy switched seats with his friend so he could sit next to me and chat between bands. It is good to know that I still got some game. Interesting...

I found out that the lyrics to "Silver Lining" are not "but now I'm gone" like we thought they were. They are "but now I'm gold" - which is still a good line, it just isn't what I have been singing in my head for the past month. They still have some great lyrics for my current mood:

"I never felt so wicked as when I willed our love to die"

- Silver Lining

"Here's to all the pretty words
we will never speak
Here's to all the pretty girls
you're gonna meet"

- Breakin' Up

The opening band for the Charlotte show is Liars. I can hardly wait.
