Let's Hear it for the Blitzen boys!

Blitzen Trapper just signed to Sub Pop!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoo-hoo!!!!!!!!!

Two weeks ago I went to Blitzen Trapper's CD release show at Holocene. I was so so so impressed when lead singer Eric Earley took to the stage with a banjo to begin their set. I heart heart hearted their set constructed out of painted cardboard - it kind of reminded me of this old skool Pet Shop Boys appearance on I think Top of the Pops where they performed in front of a city scape made out of cardboard. Blitzen Trapper's was of trees and waves backlit with earthy projections.
Sadly, it's the sickest I've been in over two years so yeah. When I was running to make the last bus downtown before the close of their set, I bumped into Carrie and Cary separately (no kidding) and barely said hello in an effort to avoid throwing up and/or coughing on them. The concert was one of the first times I stepped outside of the house for days.

Anyway - there are several more of my photos in my Pitchfork post on the night.

And it was super sweet to spy my photos on their myspace as their default - and credited at that!
