I finally got a tumblr. account. I thought I'd give it a try: hugasponge.tumblr.com. Follow me and I'll follow you and we can be friends.

spring break.

This week is my spring break from school and I've spent it going to three shows in a row this week, and all three have been so much fun! Tuesday night I went and saw Neon Indian at Urban Lounge. Carly and I saw them the last time they came a few months ago, but I'm so glad I went and saw them again. The show was so much more fun this time, probably mostly because the crowd was a lot more into it and danced a whole lot more. It was one big dance party the whole time and was so much fun!

Wednesday night Cults played at Urban Lounge. The Brooklyn-based duo's debut album is fantastic - this unique blend of 60s pop tunes with a modern twist. It was the first time they came to Utah, and they put on such a great show. We literally got to Urban less than five minutes before they came on! Perfect timing.

Last night we had won tickets from Graywhale to see Sleigh Bells at The Depot. Carly won tickets from Slowtrain the last time Sleigh Bells were here in 2010. The show last night was awesome! I ended up right in the middle of the crowd jumping and being pushed all around set to the duo's heavy guitar riffs and head banging tunes. Such a good time! And they played an encore this time! Much less awkward ending to the show than last time.

I'm excited to see these guys play again over my spring break. It'll be nice not to have to wake up for work the next day since I usually don't get home until after 2 from shows at Urban.

The last time we saw them there was this really annoying kid who kept throwing hand signs up in the air and being super obnoxious. Other kids kept daring him to do things and messing with him. I think he thought they were laughing with him, but in reality they were laughing at him. They dared him to grab the microphone and say something into it while the band was setting up. He did and the people in the sound booth got pissed. A few minutes later a guy from the club came and told him to get out. They totally kicked him out of the show!! One of the funniest show moments ever.

Can't believe it's already been a year since we tied the knot! Time sure does fly when you're having fun.

youth lagoon.

Youth Lagoon is one of my favorite new bands that I've gotten into recently. We saw them play last week at Urban and the show was awesome (except for that really annoying drunk girl who felt the need to scream and talk loud the entire time. Although it was cool when that girl tried to slap her...). The song "17" is probably my favorite, but all the songs on their debut album The Year of Hibernation are great. Listen to Montana below.

i'm going to be a huskie!

I just found out today that I got accepted into the University of Washington's College of Education Master's Program for Special Education! Carly and I couldn't be more excited. This was our first choice and I can't wait! I love Seattle. What a relief!

memoryhouse.

Sub Pop dream pop band Memoryhouse played Wednesday night at Urban. It was such an awesome show. I like their music a lot, but live was so much better! We got on the band's guestlist just for retweeting one of their tweets so that was awesome! I picked up their debut full-length at the show. I highly recommend giving it a listen.
