"They're Like The Cranberries If Their Parents Loved Them"

That quoted from my friend Leah Dewolf here in lovely District of Columbia....

Hi everyone,
Juliet here, back for sloppy seconds, live in the basement bar at 930 club (thanks 930 for your free wifi), after drunk dialing Enoch (don't be fooled, I may have a cup of Jager in me, but I still remember everything I say) in the middle of the Camera Obscura show.

This show perfectly fits the bill here in DC, high 20s after the snow last night, everything is icy outside and in might I add with band and crowd. I listened to C.O. music at work last week preparing for this show. Unfortunately to say, that was as good as it was going to get.

Think cuteness to the max minus the puppies and kittens.
Think 60s pop/lounge band with ponytails and bangs.
Think Saddle Creek Records style with their large, six piece ensemble.
Think Rilo Kiley (and might I add, R.K. is one of my favorite bands) but super sedated.
Chris said "girl version of Belle and Sebastian" (the last I checked, Pursuit of Happiness had female vocalists and is something you can dance to)
Think of indie darlings getting married, C. O. is their band in powder blue suits, playing the wedding march with their lovely organ and again at their reception.
Think that if people were to go nuts at their show, they would resemble the Peanuts Gang in Charlie Brown Christmas.
Think of a satisfactory makeout section with no passion, while you are planning your next day...without the dude.
