the working title

so cat and i got to the knitting factory friday night and after hanging out on the main floor for a while, decided to go upstairs to this little balcony thing they had. it was a little colder up there, but the view was pretty good and i knew we wouldn't have to worry about tall people standing in front of us. so we were up there for the first two bands and while the second one was playing i look over and there is this guy tuning a guitar and i think he looks kind of like the lead singer from the working title. so i just kind of stare at him and stuff and act a bit like a creeper and cat says i should say hello and see if it's him. and after much convincing and much creeper-like behavior, i shuffled over.

me: um, are you from the band 'the working title'?
man with guitar: yea.
me: YOU'RE JOEL.
joel: yea.

and there was a little more to the conversation than him just saying 'yea,' but you get the idea. he was supernice and i even got to talk to him a little after the show. here's a pic:


anyway, they started with one of my favorite songs, 'the crash,' and played a bunch of new stuff (good, although i would have liked to hear more of their oldies). here's a clip of one of the newer songs, called 'wolf' i think. this was my favorite new song of the night.
