last night was the killers/ambulance ltd/stellastarr* show at irving plaza. i really only wanted to see the killers, but thanks to a truly spectacular guestlist screwup on my part, i missed their set entirely. sweet. three vodka tonics later i found myself trying not to nod off during the ambulance ltd set. then stellastarr* came on and everyone went crazy. judging by the crowd last night, they have some really rabid fans and most of them seem to be mallrats from new jersey. regardless, i thought they put on a fantastic show. my friend monica thinks the singer is tone-deaf but i didn't notice. the afterparty was paaaaacked with the same cheesy contingent, but thinned out later on...they played some songs by the killers and franz ferdinand and everyone got predictably wild and crazy. one of the djs also played a weirdly sped-up 'love will tear us apart', which bummed me out because i couldn't sing along.
in other news, the rapture/BRMC show at roseland was apparently fantastic. the walkmen tonight!
ok. time for an egg and cheese.
