Yes, I actually got to go to The Pillows show *squeal*

Let's see Tomo & Kelly.. was up first, which was like this duo sort of thing.. both persons doing vocals, but only member (Tomo) doing guitar.. acoustic of course. I can't remember much about it, I'm afraid, but it was still pretty good, I do remember they did a Magnetic Fields cover which was rad.

Next up it was Noodles! Three piece Japanese girl rock band sort of thing. I didn't know any of their songs, but it was all good stuff! Totally would like to get ahold of one of their albums.. or at least find their website and get a few songs. The bassist and lead singer both had red hair. The drummer did not. The lead singer was.. well you know, my eyes certainly weren't complaining! Haha. But anyway, they were so cute with the Engrish. Saying things like, "This our first time in Sea-at-tar.. we like it berry berry much. It's very beautifur." or something like that.. and later on randomly in the show the bassist mentions that she likes salmon.. which I'm assuming means she tried some salmon while here in Seattle. The singer mentioned that she didn't like salmon, haha. This salmon thing may seem quite irrelevant, but it'll figure again in this "plot" later.

So now we have The Stereo Future.. while musically I don't think they were quite as rad as Noodles, their stage prescence more than made up for it. They were a fun bunch of guys.. kept making all sorts of funny jokes and keeping folks in good spirits, which wasn't hard you know. Props have got to go out to their keyboardist/guitarist 'cos he put the whole thing together. I wish I could have given him a hug.

FINALLY... THE PILLOWS!!!

The singer did a couple of amusing and great poses on one of the stage monitor thingies.. and than finally they start the show and to both my surprise and delight they kicked off with "I Think I Can" than after that the singer shouts, "DO YOU LIKE FOOLY COOLY?" to get responded with cheers and shouts of approval.. myself included in those.. and they play "Ride on Shooting Star" The order from here kinda gets mixed up.. but some of the songs they play I believe included "Blues Drive Monster", "Instant Music", "Sleepy Head", and others. Twice in the show the singer mentioned that he liked "crazy dance" and wanted to see everyone doing a crazy dance and stuff. I obligied the best I could, but it was pretty crowded. With a bit more space I could do better, but than again so could of everyone else. The singer at one point teasingly makes fun of the "I like salmon thing" and is like "I too like salmon. No. Wait! ... I AM SALMON!!" to cheers, laughter, etc. of approval. :D They closed the set off with "Last Dinosaur." Ah but than their was the encore! For which they did Crazy Sunshine and Advice (NOT the instrumental type dealie on one of the FLCL soundtracks.. this had lyrics/singing!)

Wow! What a show I wish I could think/remember more to share.. but I'm tired. I think shared all the best parts at least and I think that counts for something. Check out their music folks, though it's worth saying I thought they were pretty rad before hand, but the live radness of them really exceeds their album/studio deal. Just saying that if you can get into their music, you'd love their concerts even more so!
