Victoria Shoe and I arrived a little late.

Missed Ex-Boyfriends, unfortunately. Bitesize, a girl-girl-boy three-piece, seemed incompetent initially, but seriously rallied. Nice angular pop-punk with some great fuzzy guitar drones.

Upon V's urging, and under the influence of multiple drinks, I went up to dance by myself in front of the band. No one else was dancing. It was a good time. It reminded me a little of the Slide incident; more information about this will be revealed at a future time.

20 Minute Loop were great -- they reminded me of the pre-Sub Pop Shins. Lots of melody, complex songwriting, and judicious use of some tiny vintage keyboard they had perched in front of the female singer.

I can't say enough about boy-girl harmonies. They're pretty. And if you don't believe me, you should pick up the Joy Zipper record. Another review is here.

As for Victoria, she spotted an old flame at the show and I was abandoned. If it's not one thing, it's the other, y'know?

I may stay in tonight. I'm not sure.
