"we're a nation full of envy, insecure and losing sleep"

last weekend we went to see kevin devine and the miniature tigers at the phix.
it was a rad little hole in the wall venue that made the whole show very intimate.
we saw kevin devine open up for the band brand new a few years ago, and i have been in love ever since. he is a lyrical genius. right up there next to my all time favorite conor oberst.

the phix was so small that there really wasnt a "backstage". he was just walking around the whole time that the other bands were playing, so we got to meet him and talk to him for a bit.
i always try to be cool and collected in these moments, but always end up star struck and stuttering.
he's such a down to earth, genuine person.

the miniature tigers opened up for him and they were amazingly fun!
we got their cd while we were there and have been listening to it ever since.
i cant wait until they come back.




here's a little taste of kevin devine from the show.
this is just recorded from our little digital camera, so its not the best quality, but you get the idea.
