I saw M.I.A. this past weekend. She was playing at The Electric Factory which is pretty much your general hipster hang out it seems. The place was nice, the speakers were loud, M.I.A. was amazing. Suuuuuch a fun show. I wouldn't have thought not to many things could compare to seeing Justice only a couple weeks ago but this show killed. I think one reason it was so much fun was because her music is very dancey, as opposed to just pounding bass. I love the beats and I love to dance around so I had myself a rate good time.
This is Santogold, there on the right at least. And yeah, she's got as much sass as it looks. She was pretty rad, and by pretty rad I mean basically the same exact sound as M.I.A. She's a British hip hop vocalist, same deal. It was pretty good. B-b-b-but who's that on the left?
Oh! It's AMANDA BLANK and it looks like PASE ROCK decided to join her! WHEN THEY CAME ON IT BLEW MY MIND. Not only was there NO information leading up to them preforming or where they mentioned anywhere on any posters or online, but I would pay money to see them specifically! Now they were up there rocking out with M.I.A.! I couldn't have been happier. Sooooo awesome. Plus, Spank Rock is from Philadelphia apparently, which was news to me, so hopefully I'll be seeing more of them.
The Cool Kids. They were pretty dope.
M.I.A. was amazing. There isn't really much more I can say about it. Later on in the night she invited a whole bunch of people up on stage they went crazy with her then they left and all the opening acts came on and sang with her and danced around. I didn't get on stage but my friend, Lyndsay did. My other friend, Nan, got to spank her when she was standing on the railing in front of everybody. loool. Sooo much fun. I <3 M.I.A.
This is the song Paper Planes. If you don't really know the song you might be kind of confused on to what is going on, exactly.
