weekend update: laundry and music

after a failed attempt at getting these suckers installed on wednesday they were finally installed on saturday.  this is the first time ive had a working washer and dryer since i moved into my townhouse a few years ago (yes i did laundry at my moms place like a poor college kid....but it also gave me really great family time).  needless to say i think i did about 6 loads of laundry this weekend...sheets, towels, clothes, anything that i could throw in there for the heck of it!



sorry for the bad iphone pics

i also got to go to an amazing show with some of my favorite people!!  The band Sucré came into town (see this post for their album review) and played with my friends in the band Finnegan and the Ton Tons (didnt get a pic of the Ton Tons sorry - but they are great check them out).

i also got to me Mrs. Elsie Larson from A Beautiful Mess.  I didnt take a pic with her because i already felt like a duffus for being really excited to meet/chat with her (she was my gateway blog).  she was just as sweet in person as she seems on her blog as was Jeremy.

The show was awesome.  I got to hang out with my hubs and friends and enjoy some great music...what more could a girl ask for?

now playing:tuesday - Sucré

Today's now playing feature is the debut album, A Minor Bird, from

Sucré

This band is made up of Stacy King (from Eisley), Darren King (Mute Math), and Jeremy Larson (Husband to Else from A Beautiful Mess)...talk about an a crazy talented group. 

The album just dropped today and I will admit i pushed the 'buy' button at 12:05a this morning so that it would be ready for me to listen to when i woke up this morning. 

The name of the band describes itself....sweet.  Stacy has a such a pure and angelic voice you cant help wanting to listen to.  The songs are well written, melodic but still catchy.  You can tell that it's Darren on the drums, although he has a certain technique for drums almost like a unique signiture, he keeps it soft and very fitting to the music.  Jeremy, the multi instrument wonder, is amazing as always.

The best way for me to describe this album....had this been out when the movie Garden State was made it would have most certainly been on the soundtrack.  If you are a fan of Eisley, Imogen Heap, Frou Frou, Lia Ices, or perhaps Feist you will love this album.

You can purchase the full album now on the iTunes for only $7.99.  For 11 amazing songs thats a pretty good deal.

Perhaps the things that excites me most about this band is that they are coming to Houston on April 22nd and playing with some of my good friends - Finnegan (also available on iTunes).  To add to the excitement Elsie (from A Beautiful Mess Blog) will be traveling with her husband (Jeremy) for this short tour, and unless she is completely bombarded, I might be able to stop by and say hello.  Elsie has a special place in my heart because she was the very first blog i ever read before i realized just how big the blog world was.  She is a great source of inspiration for anyone looking to follow their creative dreams.  Enough gushing....go check out the album and let me know what you think.
