And it was out of this world. This weekend me and my roommate went to Cake Shop's 2nd birthday... actually we went to see Vampire Weekend play, but I guess they pulled the 'put the best band on first so everyone will get there and drink a lot and stay until the last band' method. But we didn't know that. So we ended up getting there while a really bad band was playing, but it wasn't unbearable because audience was pretty entertaining (all wiggly and stuff). So after the wiggling and seizuring stopped we were ready to see what we had paid all of 2$ to see. Little known to us that they had already had their turn. Anyway, this band comes on with a killer start. Now when I use the word killer in this sentence, I am not using it like Californians do, but how it was intended. I thought my ears were going to explode. It was pretty much the back feed noise you get from a mic being too close to a speaker that is amplifying itself, but 10 times worse, and on purpose. but then they started to beat some drums, and lessened up on the ear explosion noise. This band was not only the coolest and most rememberable thing I have seen in the last month, but it only consisted of 3 full on drum sets (3 drummers included) and some guy on a synth slash super electro machine that makes noises. It was awesome. After you got over the intensity of the back feed type noise, you could hear the pop rocks with soda energy level of three frigging drummers going to town on their sets like there was no tomorrow. I highly recommend you check out Aa (pronounced big 'A' little 'a') if you have the chance. It is an experience not to be missed.
