good show!

warning: this blog might be a bit pretentious.

emily and i went to see jenny lewis with the watson twins last night at the tla. it was really good.

not only has it been a really long time since i'd been to a concert, it's been a long time since i'd been to the tla. it's a really good place to see a show--the sound is amazing. but the band we saw was amazing. i am sure that if you saw slipknot or something loud and scary there, it would be just like any other show. but i guess that if you're listening to slipknot, you're not really interested in the sound--it's the experience of the gore and all of that, right? i'll never know. and i'll never understand.

so how do i describe the band? indie/alt/country? but good, seriously. it's like the glorious angel of roseanne cash came down to earth, reincarnated. weird. haha. sorry. what? i never thought i would get so in to this, but it's great. jenny lewis is the lead (also the lead of rilo kiley) and she has a sweet voice. i almost felt like her voice was better live. is that possible?

anyway, that is not the point. the point is that there are twins in the band and they are the backup singers. emily and i agreed: they are really great singers and we were totally mystified by them. one is cuter, but the less cute one is a better singer and a better dancer. (oh, did i mention that they do synchronized dances, just like the supremes would do? too funny.) one has better hair, so it made it seem like she was cuter. but was she? i am baffled by twins. mesmerized.

i would see them again. and you should listen to their music. go to http://www.jennylewis.com/ and check it out.
