ASTRA HEIGHTS @ THE ECHO

it was a night of socially insensitive jokes and just shutthefuckupandlisten kind of music...which i find delightfully entertaining



in any event i ended up at The Echo on a tuesday night..which unbeknownst to me Astra Heights was performing...which unbeknownst to me that Astra Heights existed...but it's sorta like those unplanned surprises that destiny throws at you...like money on the ground, teenage pregnancy, and unknown yet refreshing LA bands...i had planned to see Von Iva (the headliner) but the second of the opening two bands ended up being more memorable...i don't know if i have mentioned it before but i obsessive compulsively arrange my itunes into specific playlists...for example: music for driving, music for driving long distances, music for driving short distances, music for sitting in the car while waiting, music for sitting in the car while waiting on the 405 during rush hour traffic on a friday afternoon, music for rockin' out, etc etc etc...and now with the discovery of astra heights i've entered an entire album to a playlist entitled music for rockin' out with friends on a road trip to oblivion...good times, the end.



don't get me wrong its no violin concerto in D major, Op. 35: Allegro Moderato (Pyotr ll'yich Tchaikovsky) at the 6:27 minute...but they are a great live band....so get up and get out of your comfort and find a Astra Heights show (they have shows in LA July 16, July 26, and August 7)they stand for melody, rhythm and harmony which in the game of life stands for all that is good in the universe...well besides cotton candy. i'm no genius but they're the difference between inter- and intra- or even the difference between that and which (of course when used appropriately) i'm no mathematician but they're the sum of the average and the minus of the mean and when multiplied by itself it equals to one...i'm no farmer but they're something special...yeah something like that...they just get it.
