Hello All!
So I know its been a week and all since the April Smith and The Great Picture Show concert my friends and I went to in Brooklyn, but it was so amazing that I'm gonna talk about now anyway!
Soo... I'd never been to Brooklyn before (awesome by the way!!) We were so excited to see April Smith, we went all that way just to see her!! The Brooklyn Bowl is THE coolest place, It's this gigantic old warehouse built in the 1800's with 3 bars, a stage area and bowling lanes! Anyway, the show started off with Shayna Zaid & The Catch - They were really good. Shayna's voice was unique with sort of a bluesy, indie type sound. Definitely made us want to dance. The second band was Motel, Motel. They were cute and all but we were not really feeling them as much. Not much you could dance to, a little mellow. Just seemed like they needed to work on their sound a little bit, kinda all over the place. Once April Smith came out the place was packed! I was sooo pumped! The whole show was broadcast on LiveStream which was sweet! She played pretty much every song on the band's album "Songs for a Sinking Ship", they totally rocked the house!!
Now about the cat named Brooklyn....
During the show April said that while walking her dog in Brooklyn one night she came across this stray Persian cat. She took it home with her to give it a home but couldn't keep her because her husband was really allergic. She basically said anyone interested in adopting a cat see me after the show. Well my friend Mary raised her hand and said she would take it!
So long story short.... we got to meet and hang out with April Smith and her band!!! Totally made my night!!! She is soooo sweet and so are her band mates! We ended up taking in the lost kitty and named her Brooklyn... quite fitting huh? haha random/amazing night!
If you haven't already, check out April Smith and The Great Picture Show on itunes and do yourself a favor... BUY THAT ALBUM!!! I can't stop listening to it!
