The Twelves @ Dragonfly

12-09-08

Meg and I were waiting for this moment: to see The Twelves at Dragonfly! This was their first gig in Los Angeles ever, and they made a great show! They are from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. and I read some blogs that they are super big DJ over there. It's just their beat, drum, synth that they created are irresistible. You can just dance all night until they stopped playing! I really really enjoyed their music, and I want them to come back again. It was funny that I found Binary Party blog right before we went to the show. We totally thought we just needed to get tix at the door but I just happened to found a blog says you need RSVP to get in. And I found another article, if you were first person to email them, you would win 2 tix! I was very doubtful I wasn't gonna win since it was so last minute... but I WON!! Woo Hoo!! Meg and I were so lucky to see them for free! :D And we even talked and took some pics with one of the Twelves. He was super super nice!
Thanks for telling me this such a great DJ, Meg!

とうとう、The Twelvesのショーを見に行ってきちゃいました！待ちに待ったThe Twelves!! めぐっぺがこんなDJ来るけど行くーー？と聞いてくれてMyspaceをチェックした日以来、もう私はThe Twelvesが作る音にぞっこんとなりました。優しい音なんだけど、ドラム、シンセ、そのビートが交わる音が超踊りやすい！踊らなくてはいられない状態を作り上げちゃいます。彼らが出て来て、終わるまで踊りっぱなし．．．。 今回がロスでの初ギグという彼らはブラジルはリオ・デ・ジャネイロ出身で、超大人気DJだそうです。Dragonflyも超盛り上がってました！ 思わないところからこのチケットをただでもらってしまった私達はThe Twelvesの片割れと話すこともでき、写真も撮らせてもらうことも出来、超感動した夜になりました〜。 あ〜楽しかったわ〜。

Friendly Fires @ Spacelands

12-07-08

This time, I went to see Friendly Fires at Spacelands in Silverlake with my friend, Shi-Shi.
This band is from St. Albans, UK and the members are Ed Mac, Jack Savidge and Edd Gibson.
Their music sounds like Keane with Electronica. I really like how Ed sings, very energetic, and pretty awesome (and so cute! lol).
They were soaking sweaty but still jump up and down, and performed their best for us. It was awesome awesome show. Ed was even came down from stage and danced and sang for us. That was pretty cool too. I had a lot of good time with this band. Unfortunately I left my digital camera at home... So, I used my iPhone but couldn't take that much this time... :( Shi-Shi chan, thanks for coming with me! That was a lot of fun with ya!

今回はイギリス出身のFriendly FiresをSilverlakeにあるSpacelandsにてしほちゃんと見に行ってきました。もうこのバンド、超エネルギッシュで汗をがんがんかきながらも一生懸命歌って踊って、観客を楽しませてくれました！Ed Mac, Jack Savidge and Edd Gibsonの3人でこのバンドは構成されてますが、ボーカルのEdくんは歌唱力抜群だと思います。なんかKeaneを思い出させるような歌声なんだけど、音はもうエレクトロニカも入ってるし、ロックも入ってるしで、超良い！！。途中で、Edくんがステージから降りて私達の目の前で踊って歌ってくれたり、サービス精神も抜群。一緒に踊って歌って歌もよし、サウンドもよし、パーカッションも最高でこれは結構◎なショーだったよ。でもふつつかな者の私は今回に限ってなぜかデジカメ忘れた…。なのでiPhoneで取ってみたけど、デジカメのようには撮れず…。がっくり…。ま～でも楽しかったんだから、それでいいね！
しほりん、一緒に来てくれてありがとうね～～。超楽しかった。またライブ行こうぜぃ～。

They were all soaking sweat!!
ボーカルのシャツが汗でびっしょり！！！皆すごいエネルギーがあって、◎！














This is Funeral Party. They sound like The Strokes a bit. But they did pretty good. I like them.

このバンドはオープニングバンドの一つ：Funeral Party。
これはこれでよかった。ちょっとStrokesを思い出させる音だったので、超オリジナルとは言えないが、、まーよしとしよう！なーんて偉そうに書いてみた。
