I'm kind of bummed about this particular show because of timing. See, Le Butcherettes were opening for At the Drive-In at 7:30 ten minutes away from this venue (not even). This show didn't start until 8:30 with Hinds not coming out until almost 10:00. StubHub was constantly fluxuating on ticket prices for ATDI. In the end I just decided not to go and here it would've totally worked out! Plus I still would've been able to catch a little of ATDI's performance. Oh well. I think I was nervous about not getting a front spot.

Going to Hinds was going in cold for me. I know NOTHING about the band except they are a garage band from Madrid who are adorable according to my friend and to go see them :) When they came out on stage I thought "Oh my goodness they are babies and look no older than 21!" So, Hinds babies. In all honesty they are not too shabby for younger musicians and they had so much fun on stage! My picture above accurately depicts their stage presence since they are all smiles the entire time. During their encore some people went up on stage and then everyone else joined in as well. Hinds didn't mind which was cool.

The band doesn't have a website. They told us if we wanted merch, now was the time! Totally sold out of tees, they had totes (I need another tote like a hole in the head), and albums. I went for the album and I've been spinning it non-stop. Like Aesop Rock they were also playing on Colbert the following evening. Love when bands you like get recognition!
