Me this morning re: this week, which is a week just like any other really, I should sort myself out, but still
family portrait.
So into this show right now, thank you Netflix because what kind of idiot didn’t watch when it was on TV?! (This one)
For Local Natives, the Music Begins At Home
This story was produced in partnership with FILTER Magazine.
So you’re in high school, and you have a band, and you want to play your first gig. You invite a couple hundred of your friends over to your dad’s house. What’s the worst that could happen?
You could end up with a hole kicked through your dad’s wall. You could also end up launching a world tour.
Both were the case for Taylor Rice and Ryan Hahn, the guitarist/vocalists for Los Angeles indie rock band Local Natives, who are rolling with laughter recalling that story before they head onstage during a recent stop in Brooklyn. (They perform a trio of shows at SXSW this week.) It was like “out of a movie,” they explain: kids packed inside the house and wrapped around the staircase; the crowd moshed, the cops came. Oh, and somebody kicked a hole through dad’s living room wall.
The other night I wanted to watch Argo but I watched Good Will Hunting instead. I hadn’t forgotten how good the film is but the amount of Elliott Smith in it had slipped my mind.
Like most people in Bradford I’m going to the cup final at Wembley on Sunday, can’t wait.
Bonded with my cab driver on the way back from a gig last night. Bradfordians united, it will be the best day
I need to spruce up my portfolio, an will work for goldfish crackers. Or free. Whichever.
