Breaking away from our old-person lifestyle of work and sleep, Karen and I went downtown last night to see the Eagles of Death Metal play a tiny venue. It was a great show, and Karen walked away with a set of drumsticks without even having to hussy herself up like the other girls in the front row.
In case you're not familiar with the Eagles o' DM (their single "I only want you" was featured in an iPod commercial, I believe), it was started as a side project by the lead singer of Queens of the Stone Age. It's basically just him and a mustachio'd singer/guitarist named Jesse. But it looks like the lineup changes regularly (much like Queens of the Stone Age, which only has one recurring member). Just to add to the confusion, the Queens singer, who plays with Eagles under the pseudonym "Carlo," doesn't tour with them. Clear now? Great. Oh, and they're not a death metal band.
The moral is, see them if you have the chance.
