Wild Like Children

Amazing!!!

Alicia and Louise spent a wonderfully hot summer night in central Phoenix this weekend. Why central Phoenix? Modified Arts, of course. Why a summer night? Because bands seem to always choose the summer to visit Arizona, which baffles us all...

Pretty much what we're trying to say is, WE SAW TILLY AND THE WALL!!!

Tilly and the Wall is probably one of the most innovative bands to date, and for many reasons. They are one of a handful of bands to switch between lead singers, having three members to lend their talented voices to different songs. They employ fun, playful lyrics, as well as very intuitive insights to life and love, all to a backdrop of catchy tunes and harmonies.

Of course they're mostly known for replacing their drummer with TAP DANCING!!! Flippin' awesome!!!



With so much amazingly awesomeness going on, Louise and Alicia decided to keep it short by providing a list of reasons why it was such a freakin' cool night (no particular order).
  1. We saw Tilly and Wall.
  2. Tap dancer!
  3. A few members of Tilly and the Wall played in the crowd.
  4. Crazy indie/emo kids! (Genders unknown.)
  5. Hanging out with Josh, Hayden, Morgan, and Sara.
  6. Louise meeting the bassist/singer and not knowing it until a few seconds later.
  7. Buying the best cheese bagels on the planet from Conspire.
  8. Josh losing his foot in a really deep hole.
  9. Using said really deep hole as a garbage (as there were none around.)
  10. Balloons!!!
  11. Aiming said balloons at bald man, who seemed to enjoy it.
  12. Quotes like "It feels good in the bathroom!" and "Do you want some sauce? ..... .... No." and "Let's tie him up and shove the quesadilla down his throat!"
  13. Standing in a sauna of everyone else's sweat.
  14. Finding out that standing near the bathroom was the only way to get some clean air.
  15. Going outside to cool off only to find out that the sound was better out there anyway.
  16. Getting screwed over by the nine-fingered man at Taco Bell over a quesadilla.
  17. Feeling like the floor was going to cave in due to so many people jumping up and down.
  18. A half-eaten banana labeled "Free" lying among the merchandise.
