I interrupt not blogging for most of August to bring you this.
The Japandroids changed my life for the better Sunday night at Lucky Bar in Victoria.
Japandroids are one of my favourite bands and I have never had the chance to see them live. Always, always… I was either working, found out about show after it was sold out or they cancelled. I was so excited to see that the one little whole I had in my schedule this summer was on the exact day the Japandroids would roll into Victoria.
I met up with Michelle and Lucas Kitchen just in time to see the supporting band, Mississippi’s Bass Drum of Death.
Wow. What a savage fuzzed out rock & roll sound to get amped on the Japandroids too.
I knew was going to get into it when second song in… the Droids drop my favourite song, “Younger Us.”

There is nothing like going to a show to see a band you truly love. I knew the words to almost every song they played… and yeah, they played “Younger Us.” I am a happy cat today. I wore a Japandroids shirt to work.
Go with yourself.
