Live @ Bowery Ballroom - 06.02.07:
Aeroplane Pageant is not a pop band all the time. Although, I get strong intimations that if they could have one wish it would probably just be this. I met these boys a couple summers back and am moderately content with the natural progression of our current relationship. The lot asked me to describe them in a biography due to the upcoming release of their new LP Wave to the Moon, and so with God's good hands and a few fifty bucks I've considered to fulfill their offer and speak about what i know best. I think probably the best way to sum them up is that they're not a pop band every single time. Also, what I've come to realize, or better yet learn, is that with some certain enthusiasm you can make the lead singer agree with basically anything you say. And sometimes when I'm feeling particularly down on myself I'll tell him that he is absolutely no good and of course he just haplessly laps it all up. Poor little bitch, I say. Anyway these guys like making songs constantly and they blame it on listening to old records by bands like Guided by Voices, Velvet Underground, and Flaming Lips and a lot of other bands whose names I forget. Belle and Sebastian maybe, but not Modest Mouse. Additionally, they all like to talk about the love of music and having a good attitude and spirit and trying to preserve this some certain craft that was from way back when. And yes I'm beginning to understand some of what they're saying, but honestly I tend not to bend too easily with regards to any of these kitchen sink ideologies. In good news no one in the band has any current drug problems and they are willing to tour at any time. They all basically live on Long Island and really like it there and if they can continue to afford it then they'll stay there until the day they die. Fucking romantic fatalists if you ask me.
