I Don’t Do Sarcasm Anymore … I’m Post-Ironic

So, I’m not one to discuss every concert I go to, but seeing as I’m about to discuss one now, you know something interesting happened. I can feel your excitement already so I will go ahead and begin.

Tonight I saw Uh Huh Her and for those of you that don’t know, one of the band members is Leisha Hailey who plays Alice in The L Word (link contains spoilers).

Let me start by saying that the support act, if you can call it that, was worse than the sound you hear when you listen to Kelly Clarkson’s latest album. Up until this evening I didn’t even think that was possible. It wasn’t even a band. There were these 2 girls dressed up in something out of a WWI reject’s closet and they were standing there “DJing”, and by DJing I really mean making me want to throw metal objects at their heads. They were pressing play on a fucking computer, not doing any mixes, and playing music nobody has heard of. FOR AN HOUR. And don’t even get me started on their “dancing”; they were standing on the stage next to each other moving one shoulder up and down the entire time, which brings me to my first quote of the night:

Friend: What the fuck is this dancing about?
Me: I don’t know, but they are stiffer than Michael is when he’s in bed with me.
*badoom psh*

We were sitting up in the first row of the balcony and the people downstairs on the floor kept taking pictures of our general direction, which brings me to my second quote of the night:

Friend: Why do they keep turning around and taking photos of up here?
Me: Because I’m sitting here, obviously.

During this so called support act, we managed to watch an entire episode of Friends on an iPod Touch, and I’m pretty sure the people behind us were watching too because they were so bored.

But moving on to the good stuff! Uh Huh Her finally came on stage at around 9:30pm. I felt bad for Camila because everyone was taking photos of Leisha and shouting her name, but Camila if you ever read this, I took equal amounts of photos of you and Leisha! Yay me! Anyway, they rocked and I think everyone should go to iTunes and buy their album.

When the concert finished we hung out outside for a while where we bumped into some other friends of ours who we didn’t know were going to the gig. Then Camila and Leisha (and the drummer/guitarist who no one cares about) came out and talked to everyone/signed stuff. This was the conversation that happened because that’s all that matters:

Me: Hey, how are you?
Cam: Great thanks, you?
Me: Good!
*insert more random conversation*
Me: So I have a question, how do you guys pronounce the band name because when we say it we sound like idiots because of our accents.
Leisha: Go on say it!
Me + Friend: No, you say it first!
Cam: I don’t even know how to say it myself.
Leisha: Uh Huh Herrrrr
Me + Friend: When we say it we sound like Elvis.
Leisha: Oh yeahh, because you guys don’t have the “errrrr”.
*more random conversation*
Leisha: Where do you guys live?
Me + Friend: Camden.
Leisha: Cam, they live in Camden! We know Camden.

At this point the security people were telling us to fuck off because other people were waiting for their autographs or whatever, so I shook Camila and Leisha’s hands whilst carrying on the conversation and practically got pushed away from them by security, so I shouted “nice to meet you” and Leisha started laughing, though the security people weren’t impressed. :p

So anyway, the whole point of this entry was to tell you that they are awesome. Check out their music OR ELSE.
