I trust that by now everyone has heard the 2 lead tracks off the forthcoming
Begin to Hope over on Regina's
MySpace page. For the record:
- I think they TOTALLY FUCKING ROCK! Yeah!
- If you don't like them, I think you're crazy. Or just afraid of change.
- But I'm pretty confident you'll like them eventually, once the shock of dissimilarity wears off.
- Unless you're stubborn. Or just crazy.
- But no matter what, we'll still be friends. Yeah!
Moving right along, here's a set from December 2003 in New York--a homecoming show of sorts after the Strokes/Kings of Leon tours, and also a stopover before playing New Year's Eve in Las Vegas with those same folks. The space was packed to fire-hazard level, as seemingly everyone was there, including the aforementioned Strokes (you'll hear a bit of banter between Regina and J. Casablancas on track 5), and Regina busted out a bunch of new stuff for the occasion (although by now it's nothing you haven't heard a thousand times already, I'm sure).
29 December 2003, The Living Room, New York
