As Far As I Can Tell

Off to Michigan

I’m off to Kalamazoo for the weekend to attend the Moped Army benefit show at The Space. The show is tonight, so stop by if you’re in Kalamazoo. Unfortunately I can’t tell you too much about the bands, as I’ve never actually seen any of them.

Last night’s show was great — Mates of State was the crowd pleaser. I enjoyed Rainer Maria too, but left about 3/4 of the way through their set. I’ve seen them recently, and Mates of State satisfied all I needed that evening. The funniest / most annoying part about seeing Rainer Maria so many times is watching the evolution of Kyle Fisher. He’s more rock start than ever — sporting no sleeves, buff arms, tussled hair and antics that borderline on insanity. At one point he was playing a very enthusiastic air guitar while whooping.

Yeah, but the ladies go crazy for his rock star appeal.

ugh. you’ve got to be kidding, meredith. the ladies *should* be going crazy for caithlin’s rock star appeal… either that or her “sexy” new promo photo look. honestly, i think kyle’s reduction to “backing vocals” has really amped up this idea that he now has to provide “antics.” he usually looks like a slob, is overly cheesy, and gawd, after seeing a solo performance… (not to mention the awful cover “art” for his solo record.) i’m definately not a fan of kyle, which in turn reduces my “liking” of rainer maria in general. i almost passed on reviewing the new rainer maria cd for WIDR, but i’m glad i grabbed it up as caithlin’s vocals just keep getting stronger and although i’m really tiring of “emo” per se, this album quickly grabbed my attention. we’ll have to see long the hooks can keep their barbs in…

The antics of Kyle Fischer made me decide to sit on the stairs an listen from a distance. I was so completely annoyed that I couldn’t bear to watch him. I love watching Cathlin. I would like to: a) be her b) be best friends with her c) make out with her of d) all of the above, which I guess would mean making out with myself.
