Blowjob the Ghost

Last night I went to this little whole in the wall bar down Atlantic Ave. in Delray Beach called Dada's. I had heard of it before, but only because the Jester was known for playing there. Speaking of which, does anyone know if he actually died?

Anyway, I went for a great band called Jukebox the Ghost. This was the second time that I had seen Jukebox the Ghost. The first time I saw them was in Orlando with Nightmare of You. I was a little bit too intoxicated at the time, but I had a blast watching Jukebox play. I just hoped that I would enjoy them sober the second time around.

It was probably more amazing. And, even though I didn't stay sober, I still completely was blown away. Ben Thornewill has amazing skills on the keys and the band's energy is overwhelmingly bubbly. Every song that I asked them to play, they did. They even covered "Beautiful Life" by Ace of Base.

The venue had excellent drinks and they served us all night. We didn't really stop to think about how much money we had until we had already bought $130 worth of alcohol in the course of an hour. I danced and drank with Ben all night. I also met an amazingly insane man from Liverpool with a great appreciation for corny 80's music.

Jukebox and I all had plans to go to the beach this afternoon, but they had to get over to Orlando to play Backbooth. Next time, my friends. Anyway, probably one of the best shows I have been to in quite awhile. Great energy. It's all quite simple: go see Jukebox the Ghost when they come to your town.

Wednesday is Ladytron with Datarock in Miami. I'm super excited for that. Anyone else going? You should.
