been meaning to talk about this band for a while...SO F-ING COOL. first off: drummer is 15 and AMAZINGGGGG. he's so cool. jer, ash and i went to see them like a month ago and this kid is so into it his head could pop off. the two lead are married i think, not sure, but they look like the sweetest weirdest vest wearing scandavian couple ever. the album is super cool and live is SO good anyone could get into it i swear. some of the songs on album are not outstanding but in concert they are the most dancey energy-y (yes i know energetic is the real word but this describes better) super cool band ever. almost ever anyway... at least in the runnings w MoS and Belle and Sebastian. anyyyywayyyyy the coolest thing about MSHVB: I was in nyc, the same wknd my face got fucked up, and me n my pally mike went to this used record shop in union square like every day--Academy Records, i believe. so on that sunday we went to a used shop in brooklyn where there was a listening station w/ new albums n used. i listened to a bit of mshvb and decided against buying the album full-priced (it came out like 2 seconds before that day) BUT our last day in nyc we decided to go to Academy one more time annnnnnd right as we were leaving, since we had spent so much time in there i made a joke like 'NOOOO ONE...LAST....CD..." and the very last album i found, in the very last mixed up nonsense no order row wassss...MT. SAINT HELENS VIETNAM BAND. yes. so i bought it. and listened. and a week later they were playing in boston. and i love the coincidence (or perfection?) of timing and circumstance. so i appreciate them a bit more than is normal but i still think everyone should listen to this band. NOW. and i write bc i pretend that people care about my opinion. but mostly bc i care about it. jer took a photo that i will post soon but dont have his camera...so this one will do for now.
