Endsession 119

A couple of weeks ago, local band the Lashes were played a gig at a venue called Neumos. They filmed this gig in order to use it for a music video later on this year. As with most local bands this year, The End announced that there was going to be an Endsession with the Lashes. I figured it would be earlier that afternoon, since that’s usually how it goes. For some reason it was scheduled for 2 weeks later.
Anyway, they were randomly giving away tickets again, as they always do with Endsessions, and I figured, asking for them can’t hurt, people do it all the time and every now and then it works. It worked this time. I called Dick Rosetti and asked him if he had any passes left, he asked me if I’d like to go and that was that.
Apart from their current single “Sometimes the sun” I hadn’t heard anything by the band, but that has never stopped me from seeing a band before.
They played an acoustic set of about 7 songs, some older some newer, including “Sometimes the sun” and it was very enjoyable. Ben, the frontman, decided that it was getting way too hot, and when someone suggested to him he take his thick jacked off to cool down, he exclaimed “hey, just ‘cause the weather changes doesn’t mean I have to” which I thought was a very interesting way of looking at it. Then again, this from a man who wears three belts and still has his pants hanging down threatening to fall off?!
In lieu of laminated passes, the End handed out customized T-Shirts this time around, and after the show, we all lined up to get them signed by the band. Carrie, my sister in law who I take to all of these, had them sign her converse instead, which went over real well with the band, who said she was the first to ever hand them a shoe to sign.
