On Valentine's weekend, I decided to celebrate with my significant other in a different way. We attended the Darwin Deez show at Shiprocked (aka Snug Harbor) in Charlotte on February 12.

Darwin Deez is an indie-pop band who just recently released their debut album. Not only was the album a "bedroom album" made with the help of computer recording programs like garage band, but Darwin Deez owes a lot of their success to the internet, which helped popularize them through their creative Youtube
music video. The opening band was Modern Skirts, who I honestly had never heard of before. But while they had a lot of technical difficulties (they used computers and synth for a majority of their songs), they were very good.

But the main attraction could simply not be beat. Not only did Darwin Deez perform their catchy songs well live, but they incorporated hilarious dance routines as well. We didn't get any good video of it since it was very dark, but they looked kind of like
this.
Afterward, we bought a Darwin Deez "mixtape" (read: CD mix) called "Wonky Beats", a rap mixtape with samples of the 70's movie version of "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory". Not my taste, but definitely interesting nonetheless. This was definitely one of the most entertaining shows I have been to in a while.
