I promise I'll get back to finishing my first 5/12ths review but for now I'd just like to share some photos from Monday's Land of Talk/Rosebuds show at the Jackpot in Lawrence.
Elizabeth Powell, the daughter of North America's first female alligator wrestler offered to sell us her sweaty stage worn official Land of Talk t-shirt for $2 off the list price. I didn't ask if that was US or Canadian. I think I was afraid to. Anyway - she performed barefooted in some awesome red sweatpants and proceeded to get hammered with the rest of us while we all jammed to The Rosebuds. Elizabeth was pretty cool with the crowd - very down to earth and the whole band seemed to be enjoying themselves. Her vocal performance was pretty much pitch perfect and in a word - tender, a friend of mine actually thought that her voice sounded like the lead singer of The Cardigans, which after I thought about it, I had trouble disagreeing.

I heard some of the females commenting on the alleged hotness of Land of Talk's drummer so this one's for the ladies .
The Rosebuds put on a solid polished show. They dedicated "Get Up Get Out" to the internet and for good reason. I'm sure I wouldn't have been at the show if it weren't for the net. They played a pretty damn long set and it was 1am before they moved in to the crowd for an acoustic jam session and sing along which I think everyone who was there will remember.

I saw The Rosebuds show at the Glass House with Phoenix and the Turtle and LOT. Great bands and a damn good show. The drummer for Land of Talk was quite a nice guy who got to surf for the first time that day.
