My Friend Steve Reviews Northern State, Tilly and the Wall in New York

My friend Steve will only send in reviews via iChat. This is his review of last night’s Northern State and Tilly show:

Steve: i’m the 3rd oldest person at the show, i’m alone, and it’s raining, so already i was ticked.
Steve: opening band, 9 pm: Arbor Day.
Steve: guitars and trombones.
Steve: and that’s the most you’ll ever hear of them.
Steve: 10pm: Northern State
Steve: ROCKED.
Steve: couldn’t get enough
Steve: totally under-appreciated by everyone but me.
Steve: 11pm tilly came on.
Steve: here are the 3 thoughts that went through my head during their 1st song:
Steve: “Hey, wait a minute….this doesn’t rock.”
Steve: “What the fuck am I doing here?”
Steve: “I wonder how the Sabres did tonight.”
Steve: PS they beat the Flyers 9-1.
Steve: tilly fans are annoying
Steve: fuckin really annoying
Steve: tilly fans are the new tori fans.
Steve: teenyboppers that grew up and are now in their early 20s…..twennyboppers.
Steve: the girls in the band are indeed cute, but the annoying fan adoration was just too much to take
Steve: the music did nothing to make up for it
Steve: 9:05 AM
Steve: so i did the unthinkable.
Steve: I set a suicide clock……………….without your permission.
Steve: i said okay, they play “Bad Education” or 11:35pm. whichever comes first. then I’M OUT.
Steve: 11:35 comes.
Steve: BOUNCEY BOUNCEY
Steve: what a relief.
Steve: a live show made me un-llike a band.
Steve: now i need to build a time machine
Steve: and go back and make myself leave after northern state
Steve: moral of the story: Northern State is awesomely awesome, I need a yearly reminder not to go to shows alone in the rain, and always opt to watch the hockey game in the comfort of your home where your girlfriend is.
