Enemies - Play Fire

Sitting in silence, there's nothing that's never been
Anything more than you can be with all of this
Sitting in silence, there's nothing inside of it
Sitting in silence, there's nothing that's never been
Anything more than you can be with all of this
Sitting in silence, there's nothing inside of it

Enemies were one of my overall favorites from SXSW 2016 and probably my favorite of the many talented artists I'd never heard of before. Kerri became a big fan as well. To my ears they sound like an improvisational mashup of Little Comets and Minus The Bear. Which is to say, they're awesome. And a lot of fun live, would love to see them again soon.

Upcoming Shows

Weezer - King of the World

But you’re not alone, you can let it go
And just weep on my breast
And cover me with your tenderness
And that pain will pass

I enjoy the entirety of Weezer's new White Album, it's just happy-making. Which is a little ironic, seeing as most songs seem to mention a lot of the shitty things wrong with life/the planet.

(It should be noted that Keith is not as impressed as I am with the newer Weezer.)

Upcoming Shows

Minus The Bear - Absinthe Party At The Fly Honey Warehouse

Hey, let's cross the sea
And get some culture
Red wine with every meal
And absinthe after dinner
We'd look good side by side
Walking back to the hotel

That about sums up life right now, walking around Barcelona, enjoying the sights, sounds tastes and, well...smells for Kerri, I'm missing out in that sense.

And, hey, what can I say about Minus The Bear? They're one of my favorites; they hit that perfect balance between math rock and pop rock and I've always found their sound super interesting, especially as it's evolved. There's a steel thread that runs through it that carries something unique to them, and you can hear that threads beginning on their first album Highly Refined Pirates, and right here with "Absinthe Party At The Fly Honey Warehouse".
