Stolen Organ Family Band Show!!!!

We (Me, Tawnia, Jason, Mathew) went and saw the Stolen Organ Family Band last night at the Railway Club - we didn't have money, so they let us chumps in for free!  Despite the creeperrr door guy the night was spec-tac!  I've known about this band since their inception and having been a loving acquaintance of theirs for years, but this was the first time I've ever seen them in action.

They went onstage with an electric acoustic, a Casio keyboard, a blue suitcase, what appeared to be a Fisher Price toy and a shitload of distortion pedals.  Everything got played!

Their performance was delightfully schizophrenic; alternating between charming harmonies and mellow-upbeat folksy acoustic, to complete distortion and red-faced screaming.  It was fucking intense!
It was just Kelly and Conor at this show, usually there is an Ari or a different guitarist - when I heard this I was actually super disapointed, but they are incredible together!  Kelly is freaking adorable, Conor pretends to freak out on her, and it's a total riot of entertainment, check them out for sure!

Best Hits to hear live: A Horse Don't Need Whisky (no more), Baby What's Your Phone Number, Plums, Here Comes the Baby

They're playing another show on the 17th at the Biltmore, and they're playing in Kelowna on Feb 5th!
Maybe I'll see you there, but I'm super brokes!
