ex hex

i am the kind of person who can never
(never ever)
recall who sang what or
what it was even called.
and i can't sing it for you, either.
but i sure do know what i like,
& i LOVED this band!
music hound hubby
is never
(truly - never)
wrong about these things.
so i put on my all-purpose boots
(purpose one:  be taller than a few of the people in front of me)
(purpose two:  keep my feet dry in the rain puddles)
(purpose three:  look really hip. or is it cool? hm. rad?)
and joined him to check out a new(ish) band.
 the rain moved the event inside the art building,
which meant interesting surroundings
and terrible acoustics.


it's THEM.
'them' being EX HEX, the most recent band formed by a woman named Mary Timony.  reference earlier disclaimer regarding my musical literacy.  i'd never heard of her, but SHE IS AMAZING.

 heyyyyyy.
she's kinda my age.
cooooooooooool.
 she looks happy.
and just a little tired.
the sound was so distorted by the building's acoustics, i had to retreat to other areas in order to record anything that remotely resembled what they actually sound like.

Attempt 1: The Stairwell

 or....try looking at this music video.
 the first group they reminded me of was Blondie.
awesomesauce.


Attempt 2: Upstairs

or....there's this music video.


Attempt 3: Looking at Art

Attempt 4: Looking at more Art




Attempt 5: Looking at Downstairs Art

Attempt 6: Last Try



I Lied.
