May 08, 2011


#89. There are so many things that excite me about music. One of my favorite things is stumbling upon a band I've never heard before and feeling the tug of fandom immediately. One example of this was at International Pop Overthrow a few years ago. I was looking forward to seeing Quazar and the Bamboozled (a band that also drew me in with their opening set with The Negro Problem a year or two earlier), but before them was The 88.

Although Brandon from Quazar was in the band at the time, I had no idea what I was in for. By the 2nd song, I was drawn closer to the stage by their Kinks-like hooks and snappy outfits. I'm mostly a fan of their first two albums, but they still are releasing enjoyable music and are always fun to see live.

If I had planned this shirt project better, I would have worn this shirt yesterday. But due to my poor planning, The 88 shirt is shirt #89 in the Shirt of the Day project.
