Acoustic Punk

We met up with friends for dinner at Roti Chanai and then went to the Bodega to watch an acoustic punk show by a group out of Cali--Joey Cape and Tony Sly. It was a pretty good show overall but it was my first punk show so I had to get over being shocked by how rude the guys were-- chewing gum during the first song, one guy leaving during another song to get a beer-- We were only out until about 11:00 but it was sooo hard to drive home, I was so tired.

We saw a great NZ movie a few weeks ago, "Boy," that reintroduced a cool old song. It's reaching the top of the music charts now, because it's awesome!

Awesome song just came out by The Naked and Famous. They're a NZ group and I am so bummed because I just found out that they just played a show last night in Wellington that I missed! We're going to make a real effort to go to some shows now--

Other great NZ groups:
