When I go to New York I always make sure that my nights are full. That proved to be fulfilled when I went from a hardcore show featuring Trial to a dance party featuring Hundred in the Hands. My friend James put together a showcase featuring his band Don't Give A Fuck at The Studio of Webster Hall and five Panic Records bands. I was particularly stoked for the last three bands. Starting off the highlight of the show was The Saddest Landscape who played a way too short set. They played "Declaring War on Nostalgia," "Death Becomes Us," "So Lightly Thrown," and "Eternity Is Lost on the Dying." Essentially, it was two songs from their new album You Will Not Survive, a song from their split with Pianos Become the Teeth, and an older song. It was a moving set. Especially when Andy got off stage during "Eternity..." to scream his heart out and my friend screamed along the closing lyrics, "who stole our hearts. who left us so hollow." It ended far too soon. Next was Another Breath who were playing their last NYC show. The first song "No God" was favorite--I love the thick bass line and strong vocals, and the highly passionate lyrics and moving beat. Trial was up next. I wasn't familiar with them but stayed to hear a few songs. The crowd was wild. Right before I left the singer spoke about how family is important, not just in a local who you know sense but with people from all over.
I then walked over to Le Poisson Rogue who held their weekly Nasty Mondays Party. I made it right in time to see Hundred in the Hands who played my favorites "Commotion" and "Dressed in Dresden," which reminds me of Bloc Party's "Banquet." I went alone but still had a fun time dancing up front to the band and afterward to songs like "Heart of Glass," "Dog Days," and "Uprising." It was a super hot party and I plan on going to the next one of July 25th!
The night proved that I could have fun at a show or party by myself and that I have courage to dance out in the open. My confidence was highly boosted at the dance party. The night also showed how adaptive I am to different forms of music.
