Last night I met up with a person from my new Philly social group (MEETINPHILLY) named Evan (not Swattie Evan in the previous post). We were going to the free Y100 concert at Penns Landing featuring Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I picked up Evan and he brought our dinner along from Cosi. We made a mad dash for the water front and talked about mutual interests.

Tons of people at show but not too many that we couldn't see the bands. I think I liked the Yeah Yeahs better than Evan. I really liked them live. Karen O sounded great and guzzled H2O as she ripped out various sounds within each song. Evan hit the nail on the head by comparing them to 80's college radio sensation Siouxsie & the Banshees (best known for Peek-A-Boo). Look, truthfully, I see a glove on one hand ala Thriller and ripped clothes, I'm sold. I love the 80's stuff. I saw so many kids with buttons pinned to there checkered bags it made my heart swoon. I love seeing the look and hearing the sound, new millennium style. The first band that opened took me back to the band Berlin and their hit, The Metro. Was I in my glory or what? Post punk is alright with me. Hey, Sid Vicious is dead, Johnny Rotten is a little long in the tooth, I'll take my punk anyway I cant get it. I think we need another British invasion.

Evan is a super classy guy with glowing blue eyes and we hope to catch a movie or something else next week with the group.! Thanks Evan picking up dinner, all the great feedback on things and a generally fun evening!

Yeah Yeah Yeah's just shot a new video with the man himself, Spike Jonze
