I had been looking forward to this past weekend for a few weeks. W.A.S has been one of my favorite bands of this year… just search.

I checked them out on Saturday September 30 at the Henry Fonda Music Box Theatre. First time I had been there and I was impressed. Sound wasn’t bad and the place was very close if not all the way sold out. Made it there just in time for The Spinto Band to play their last song and single “Oh Mandy.” Great pop song… then onto hanging out upstairs on the rooftop.

Art Brut went on next, instead of making my ears bleed by going inside I watched a big on the screen they had setup outside. I thought I liked Art Brut, then I realized that all the songs sound the same to me, so I passed and waited some more for W.A.S.

Then onto the good stuff… W.A.S went on at I think 11 ish and got us all dancing immediatly. They played a couple new songs that I was stoked on as well as all the good stuff from With Love and Squalor. They played about an hour long set which included The Spinto Band coming up on stage and doing some kind of choreographed dance. Keith and Chris were really into talking to the crowd this show, more so than the previous two times that I have seen them. They were really relaxed and just having a really good time. They played for about an hour then it was all done, yet overall it was an excellent show.
