I Want My $25 Back Estelle!!

PHOTO BY DAN CORRIGAN for City Pages

I was so stoked about last Friday's show at First Ave, Estelle. I've been lovin' this girl for a hot min, I even brought my FADER down for her to sign. Well, it turns out Estelle may be too good for people that support her ass. Her attitude was sour and I wasn't extremly impressed with her show either. I'll give it up to her band and singers they were all on point. Estelle, if you ever come across this blog I would appreciate the refund for my ticket of your show in Minneapolis on Feb 27th, 2009 at First Ave.

Get Up!

We haven’t heard much from Heiruspecs over the past couple of months but that’s probably because they’ve been busy working on the third self-titled LP set to be release in December. The first single off the album is “Get Up” has a music video that was filmed by John Kingman in St. Paul’s Eclipse records. “Get Up” has a pseudo Obama theme to it with Felix playing the role of the presidential hopeful and the remaining members of the band playing the role of secret service agents. Take a peek and mark your calendar for Heiruspecs CD release party taking place Saturday December 13, 2008 at First Avenue’s Main Room.
