I went to see On! Air! Library! last friday night. I was technically running late, but Rothko was, as usual, running an hour late as well. I do not believe any concert hall runs exactly on time, but Rothko is consistently an hour late. That seems almost like false advertising. To finish up with my comments about Rothko, let me address the temperature management. I previously went to see the Secret Machines there. It was packed, and it got very hot. So hot that I couldn't stay around for the whole set even though I was in the back. Had I been up front or in some kind of mosh pit, I would have only myself to blame. But I was supposed to be chilling in the back. Instead, I was sweating bullets as I tried to focus. Tonight, it was cold. I guess they expected more people and had adjusted the AC to deal with a potential influx. My new working hypothesis: The ceilings are too high, temperature control would be easier if the room had less volume.

For anyone who cares, O!A!L! is one of the openers for the Interpol tour. (The other being the aforementioned Secret Machines). Four person band, pretty standard instruments used in creative and sometimes standard ways. Not that it's a gimmick, but the two girls in the band are twins. That should make them popular in the same ways as Ashley and Mary-Kate. I guess you should keep an eye out for their hilarious straight-to-video comedies.

The band was good. Three of their songs are available on their website. Of note, one of the songs off their CD features those lovable AIM songs. Also not a gimmick, I think, but I am not sure how to interpret it yet. I imagine that no one else will go see them unless they have tickets to see Interpol, since that is a 2 month tour. That's it.
