gingerfoxxx: lets make love, and listen to death from above!

well, my trip is only half over, so gingerfoxxx is still tragically seperated from her sweet home chicago, but she just had to rave about how much ginger love she has for CSS, the go team, and matt and kim!

i'd also like to show some ginger love to the city of milwaukee. while your not chicago, your super fun, and full of cubs fans, cold beer, and hot gingers like myself! your people are pretty awesome too, as everyone we encountered was more than willing to help show us a fabulous time. I fully admit that on occasion, i poke fun at hipsters, but hipsters, you redeemed yourself this weekend! when we were unsuccessfully searching for the venue in downtown milwaukee, we saw a couple wearing skinny pants and took a chance. not only did they know where it was, they were going, and they enthusiastically invited us to follow them. The boy hipster was even from chicago! So thanks guys, your cool in my book.

Turner ballroom was a great venue, especially the enormous bathrooms! (for a full review, check out rachel the bathrooms critics blog) They had $3 PBR tallboys, and there was plenty of space to dance and get a good view of the show. this band matt and kim played first and i thought they were just beyond gingerfab. even though they were having some technical difficulties, they had a lot of fun stories and kept me really entertained. The go team followed, and they put on a really fierce show. i am little suspicious that the lead singer stole all of her dance moves from ME, but she used it well so i'll let this one slide. CSS closed the house and put on the most gingerfab show ever! their clothes, their dance moves, their playlist, everything was great. you need to be checking out this band if you havent already.

After the show, we talked to some of the hipsters outside and even met some people from chicago! and everyone kept saying how great my shoes are, which is awesome. We caught a cab to this bar for the after party, so that we could catch CSS doing a dj set. The set up was nice, but it was a little quiet for what i am used to on a thursday night. after all, thursday is the new friday. and friday is the new sunday. and saturday is just obsolete at this point. The band showed up and everything was very low-key. we even got to talk to them for a while and let them know we liked the show. They were playing lollapalooza friday, so we talked a little about chicago. there set was a little short (they had to wait almost an hour to start!) and i think they would have like more time, but they seemed to have a good time, and so did we! they even played some b-52's, one of my favs (i mean how sexy is the b-52's ginger singer??). Overall, the night was just too much fun to write about, so next time, you should just be there if you can handle the awesomeness that is gingerfoxxx. i warn you, few can.

I am sending out major ginger love to all three bands we saw, and i hope i get to see them again real soon. if your interested, check out some of their stellar tunes below!
