^{The Broken West Knight meets The Pity Party, gives props}^

Last night was the Last Night of the The Black Pine's residency at The Echo. If you missed this, probably not much was missed, because they are really, almost offensively, boring. Listening to them now, I wish I wasn't. Which is why when we went to the Echo last night, it was the plan to see their opening bands, and not necessarily them.

Why do they get a residency? Someone school me. It seems there has been a lately ongoing trend of really dreadful or at least questionably good bands being awarded residencies, then getting really good opening bands (bands that are way better than them) to open for them on any given Monday. Show up for the openers, leave for the headliner. Why is this? If your band sucks, don't get booked supporting bands that are so obviously better than you. Don't you want to not be embarrassed and shown-up at your Own Residency? Admittedly I have no idea how shows get assembled or by whom IM JUST SAYING.

Case in Points → Last night, where Eagle and Talon and The Pity Party increasingly Killed It. Tho i wish the Eagle Talons reign in some of the Screaming and temper the frenzy with some Vocal Melodies or Hooks here and there.


The Pity Party opens for *Autolux, with Midnight Movies on Thursday at the Glass House in Pomona, where I have been personally invitated to attend with special VIP Passes and Backstage Laminates its going to /rule.
