Beer in the Hand/Beer in the Face™: Grimes Concert Review

A beer in the hand for a job well done

A beer in the face for the ultimate punishment

Awwwyeahhh! Time for America's favorite game--Beer in the Hand or Beer in the Face™: Concert Edition.

Today's review: Grimes/Elite Gymnastics/Myths

Beer in the Hand to:  Claire. Oh, sorry, that's Grimes (we're on a first-name basis). Claire got it in--albeit for only about 40 minutes. The music sounded great live. I was into it.

Beer in the Hand to: Claire's hair--she's a brunette now!

Beer in the Face to: Elite Gymnastics. Ugh, it was painful to watch this dude on stage. He actually declared at one point that he was "really awkward", as if anyone in the crowd wasn't already aware. After pulling a girl on stage to do the Gangmam Style dance (for the sole purpose to get things really fucking awkward)...his laptop fucked up. After thirty seconds of dead air, he butchered the vocals on the ensuing song.
Step your game up, man.

Beer in the Hand to: Beer. I was really drunk during this show.

Beer in the Face to: The girl standing in front of me. How dare she start ice grillin' me like I want to bump into her. THIS PLACE IS PACKED. I'M JUST TRYIN' TO GET MY DANCE ON.

Beer in the Face to: The Paradise. I don't think I'm a fan of this venue. Despite the renovations, the views are too obstructed. Dapps to the people who book the shows--y'all get beers in the hands---but the structure...pfft Beer in the Face.

(As for Myths...I'm not sure. They were interesting-bordering-on cool as performers. I wasn't really feeling the music itself. Despite being as "edgy" as possible, I'm left feeling like they were pretty vanilla.)
