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.

God bless my lovely wife… she went down to Ditch Records yesterday to pick up my copy of the latest Japandroids‘ 7-inch single, “Younger Us.”

Truth, this song came out what?  back in the beginning of the summer so you can colour me new, but I just got it on the clear vinyl and I love it.  This song absolutely crushes at life.

A lot of things that are great about rock & roll go down during this songs fuzzy three-minutes and thirty-six seconds.  Its fast, punky, aggressive yet melodic.  The lyrics paint the picture or a time when most of us lived.

I seriously almost want to cry happy tears when I listen to this song and jump back in time with the lyrics to the places and people.

I like all things Japandroids, and I LOVE this song.

Go with yourself.
