At the Entry with Gang Gang Dance

 I feel like I have seen a disproportionate amount of shows at the Entry this year compared to last year. I think I've only been to the Triple Rock once and the Varsity once in 2011! Last night was Prince Rama opening for Gang Gang Dance, who I was surprised was playing a small venue. I'd never heard of Prince Rama before and they blew me out of the water! From what I understand they are two sisters who were raised on a Hare Krishna commune in Florida. This definitely explains the foreign language they sometimes sing in and the strong Hindu vibes of their music. There is a third member in the band, but he produces and doesn't tour. The lead singer has super awesome hair, plays guitar, and keyboard. But the drummer is where it is at! I loved everything about her down to her bare feet. I have never appreciated percussion so much. The show went a little late but I manged to dance thoroughly up until the second to the last song Gang Gang Dance played. The bassist's mom was standing next to us in the crowd, which was pretty cute. There seemed to be a lot of band family at the show. Their songs are very long and they transition from one to the next, so it can be hard to tell them apart. They opened with Glass Jars and somewhere in there played Adult Goth and Chinese High, my two favorite songs off their most recent album "Eye Contact." I need to start remembering to bring ear plugs to the Entry, though. The music is always loud and I always end up under one of the two jumbo speakers, which generally makes for a great show but a grumpy Jesse in the car for my poor boyfriend.
