THE LIST by Johanna: What I've been doing in the past 2 or so months

Hey! its been a couple months since I've posted. A lot has happened! I shall quickly fill you in!

Since my last post I have seen the bands

-Dizzy Ballon (twice) -SO much fun to see live! just gotta dance around like a maniac!

-The Cataracs- wasn't too into them at the time, but I downloaded some tracks and now I'm hooked. I listen to them in the morning when I get ready.

-The Sadies- really great musicians. cool outfits too.

-Jenny Lewis- I got to be right up in the front, AMAZING. INSPIRING. she was FANTASTIC.

-MC Lars-"Who's that?" "Who's that knocking!?" "It's Mr...." "Mr. Raven!" fun.

-The Yeah Yeah Yeahs- Karen O is a cartoon character, she just bounces all around!

-DJ AM- Fun times, lots of dancing involved.

-Metric-this was the second time I've seen them live, the first was better but they're pros. No complaints.

-The Offspring-meh.

-Corpus Callosom-I had never heard of them before which bothered me cause I thought I knew about ALL the local music! They were creative, kind of cliche but they'll get better in time. I faith in the callosom. keep me updated.

-Azure Ray-A-mazing. It was so cool to see them in such a small space, a once in a lifetime opportunity. They blew me away.

-No Doubt- I was skeptical at first, had Gwen spent too much time being a hollaback girl? But she was amazing (and GORGEOUS) and the rest of the band was fantastic. I usually hate amphitheater-scale shows but this was worthwhile. The whole show was very well put together, lots and lots of fun.

-Please do not Fight (again)-They are good people, good friends of mine, and a good band. These guys know where its at.

-Westwood & Willow- Cool dude, good music! who could ask for anything more?

-Blood Sugar Sex Maching- The best cover band/ dance band/ party band you will ever see. mad love.

+other bands I can't remember right now that opened for other bands I saw

I played a shows at

-Brainwash Cafe and Laundromat w/ Zak Smith and Abbey Frenes- very fun show but was on fathers day so not too many people could come out.

- Barefoot Coffee Roasters -cool place to get coffee, kind of boring show.

-The Dragon Theater w/ Please do not Fight and Westwood & Willow- really really fun, so many people came out! everyone had a ball! much better than a coffee shop show
