White Elephant

SCOFFLAW has released their EP "White Elephant", and...its stunning. For me its a bit unbelievable. I'm late with this blog, because I didn't think that I could make words from what's in my head, and whats in my head is pure respect for these guys.
I dont know how they do it, honestly, but I hope they keep it up for a while.

I can't really disect their EP at the moment, because all of their new songs are remastered and perfect, so I'll do that another time. For now I'll tell a personal anectdote (boring right? I know i apoligize). In middle school my friends and I went to Johnny's Pizza and hung out and acted like the wild preteens we were, and every now and then I'll mention how much I miss Johnny's Pizza. It was THE spot...and my music library in my head  wasn't as broad as it is now. Back then i was going through a Rastafarian stage or something,  and my career goals were a psychologist or dancer with no intention of even going close to music unless it dealt with dance. But SCOFFLAW's music reminds me of Johnny's Pizza...

 I can't remember any specific types of music the restaurant played or artist they played, but I know they played some rock hits, because my buddy Irene was ALWAYS singing along, and out of all of my friends I think she was the person with the most music influence .

All of that being said, it sucks because I can't compare SCOFFLAW to any great rock artists that I heard at Johnny's, I can only say that their EP "White Elephant" takes me back. Back to Johnny's Pizza. Back middle school. Back to when I thought I was so cool.

Thank you SCOFFLAW.

IT WAS DA BOMB.


It really was lovely though you all. There was music, skating (of course), art it was amazinnng!
 But since this is music blog I guess I'll speak on the music.

I wasn't really paying much attention to anybody else but SCOFFLAW, but Missing Cat's drummer was killing it.

ANYWAY:
Back to SCOFFLAW.
My favourite was Gibson on the bass, but I just really like the bass guitar. Reid and Luke's playing off each other and keeping up with one another was perfect, Cole's drumming had me shocked, I've never met the guy, but now I want to, and Aidan with his stellar performance, and his signature half-nakedness when the song "West Coast" was being performed, is very unique and of course (rolls eyes) had some girls tripping off their asses, but that is probably good for business.


The entire event was a blast, and of course the music just made it that much better.
